haunted in the grid

Ugh.


It's been a long year. A long fucking year. Living with in-laws has had its pluses and minuses, but I didn't expect the lows to be this fucking low.

I've become a paraprofessional in early education and finding work over the summer has been one of the single most frustrating experiences of my life. I've custom tailored my resume to every application to highlight why I'm right for the job only to either:

  1. Find out the job is commission-only which I have done in the past and gave myself an ulcer stressing out trying to do.
  2. Don't get a call back but instead get a massive influx of spam calls or spam emails.
  3. Nothing. No feedback. No call back. Nothing.

It freaks me out because even in 2008, it wasn't this bad.
