Well I just got a letter in the mail. I didn't get the position with the Red Cross. It was stupid to think that they would want me for it. Proving once again that you don't get what you want. Goes to confirm my theory that you should try not to want… far less disappointment then. I shouldn't have pinned my hopes on this job, but I KNOW I would have been really good at it. The interview seemed to go well too, but what do I know?

After my shit day yesterday, I should have expected this. Practice blew, my car hates me, mom ate my dinner, then I had to call people back saying "sorry, but I just came from that end of town". Jen Wolf wanted to see if I was up for playing, and Joe called about Jenga's party (I had to point out to him that I have NO CLUE who Jenga is and I'm sure she has absolutely no idea who I am)

Where the hell am I going to get a job? I'm a BA in Anthropology who knows way too much about Yugoslavia. I got an offer for a temp job yesterday… wandering the crowd selling credit cards at the All-Star Fan Fest. I pointed out that I am 5' 1" and tend to get smashed in crowds like that. I hope that Kelly Services can scare something up for me when I go in on Monday. I'm going to go stir crazy real soon. I need to feel useful.

Now I have to go to this wedding tonight. Yesterday I just kind of didn't want to go. Now I really don't want to go. I want to have a good cry and maybe skate. Since practice lets out a mere hour before the wedding I can't realistically go to practice.

It wasn't stupid for you to think they'd want you for it. The job market in Seattle is kind of ugly right now, just like the apartment market. I'm sure you can find something. It mostly depends on how picky you are.

Cheer up.

Kyna! I didn't realize you had finally succumbed to the spreading disease that is LJ. *hugs* We lub you.

Come visit any time you want to :)

I would have killed for a job offer like that, but then I'm kind of a baseball nut. I know how miserable a job search can be. My wife's sister has been looking for the better part of three months now. My wife was an English major, so you can imagine how miserable her job search was. Best of luck to you.
