Sending other people's children away to fight a "war."
Filed under: random thoughts
And, no virgins had to be sacrificed.
I’m exhausted, though. Having to verbally spar with people, make a case for myself day in and day out has spent me. After my second interview of the day, I could not find my way back to the temp job I’d worked the day before. I got this idea in my head that it was just two blocks down from where I was interviewing. It didn’t help that the exact same stuff was also on this street (the ubiquitous Corner Bakery and the less-ubiquitous Potbelly’s), so I was still determined to find this office . . .
Eventually, I had to call the recruiter to verify the address for me. I was about four streets too far west. I just got this idea in my head that they were near one another, and that was that.
Although I have accepted the job offer, I am continuing to go to interviews. I’m taking a little less dough, and I just want to make sure there isn’t more dough, with more benefits in one of these positions. I sincerely doubt it, but after so many months of unemployment, I feel like I’m covering all my bases.
I’m looking forward to settling back into a routine and being able to devote mental energy to things other than a job search.
