All the career ads were what really got to me. "Go to school for 8 months and become a medical assistant" or something like that. I tell ya, those were the hopeful ones, and they depressed me. Think how the rest would be.
And yes, Jenn....I watched those as well. That was the worst because I had to watch until the end to see how they all turned out. While I was sitting there feeling guilty for not getting any job hunting done. Last time I was laid off, I made myself swear to turn on videogames instead of watch shows like that. I became employed a lot faster. But I think I was more hirable and the job market was better.

Well I wanted to touch, but I don't allow fingerprints on my screen!
I should be sad, but it hasn't set in yet. We left Hayden for good with his great aunt and uncle yesterday. We gave him a great home for 3 months and I think he's in good hands. Sad that it had to happen on Tam's birthday...I put ol' Miss Elora in daycare today to keep her mind off her best-bud's dissapearance...

Ha, my biggest problem will be getting to like not working, and being reluctant to find a new job. Luckily for me, my sense of self-worth has nothing at all to do with having a job. The only reason I work is for money.Cagliostro wrote:And try not to feel like a loser while sitting at home looking for work. That has always been the worst part for me.

Hah. Over here that doesn't apply just to the afternoons. Seriously, check out our TV schedules - and weep for us:Cagliostro wrote: I don't know how it is where you are at Av, but in the US, afternoon tv is designed for the hard of thinking and the unemployable.

Oh Cag...
I miss those commercials.
What has happened to our society that such reminders on television to care for our environment are not a daily part of our lives anymore?
Anyway...today I am feeling left out. Beorn is finished with The Gap cycle, and Hyperception is halfway through A Dark and Hungry G-d Arises. Hyperception has seriously confirmed that this is not a series for me.
However, apparently some form of male bonding is occuring between Beorn and Hyperception over the series. I'm not resentful of that (or at least, I don't think I am), but when one says something to the other that totally flies over my head, I am feeling left out.

It's a pity that you would not be able to read the Gap series. I seriously believe it is better than the Covenant series (thus far), but more in the head department than the heart, where I think the Covenant books are superior. There's not many likable characters in it, and so you find yourself rooting for complete jerks. I'm not talking about Covenant-type jerks; I mean real lowlifes. But yeah, if you can't take overt brutality and the horrors of mankind, then it might not be for you. But if you can find a little sympathy for the devil, so to speak, it is a very well constructed read. And the last book was the first time I ever was sitting on the edge of my seat reading.Menolly wrote:Oh Cag...

Oh, and yeah...the PSA's of today are not nearly as good as they had been in the past. I mourn the loss of the hippy PSA. Now it is all about not smoking and staying away from drugs.
