I guess it's a column of "things I can't freakin' stand" today.

People who DO NOT GET that right now I'm not being choosy about what sort of jobs I'm looking for. I need a job. ANY job.

"Helpful" suggestion just now:

Have you been working to expand your knowledge of the field you want to work in? Maybe write a paper or something that interests you on that topic? Make yourself more attractive to the people hiring, don't just be another person out there looking for a job.

Oh, and this was interspersed with don't get upset, let's just talk about this, if we can't talk about this then we might as well not be a family.

I didn't have any answers. I don't have any answers. I spent the day looking for a job - ANYTHING OUT THERE - and the pickings are so goddamn slim that I'm ready to jump at anything. Except that nothing's coming through.

And this isn't academia we're talking about either. Not something where you can just blue-sky some sort of theory.

I hate this.

Goddamnit, I hate this hate this hate this HATE THIS HATE THIS HATE THIS!
