Job/Degree Wanted

I didn't get the position I applied for. After two interviews, one of which was with the owner, they decided to go with someone with more "experience". It's depressing. I put my hopes in that basket and it dropped. Oh well.

I'm currently a little depressed, but I have no one to blame but myself. I haven't looked much at other places very aggressively and I just sit and wallow in self pity. Despite it all, I'm beginning to feel better. I need to focus a bit on school now as I am falling a little behind.

There's just something about studying that makes my mind click off, even if it's an interesting subject. Maybe I'm waiting for that "a-ha!" moment. You know, when you finally get something and feel a surge of energy to try it out or investigate further.

I'm not feeling it.

Job Update

I kept my job, but was demoted, sort of. I went from the theatrical maintenance guy who made sure the shows triggered correctly, to a theater seat repair man. Mind-numbing, mindless work - twisting wrenches and screw drivers. A monkey could do it.

So, I'm looking for a new job. It's going to be tough because the unemployment rate is really high right now. With an interview next Wednesday and my school schedule to compete with, it's going to be a hard sell. Not to mention, after this semester, I might have to switch to a daytime school schedule (because the classes aren't offered at night.) The position I'm applying for is a daytime schedule.

Wish me luck.
