2011

On the verge of the new year people can be filled with anxious anticipation of what might happen during the next 365 days. Will it be better than this year? Or, how could we possibly top this year? What's going to happen? I guess I'm just hoping that 2011 be better than this year. Not that this year was a complete dud I would like to think that life will get better and better with every year that goes by.

18 Months

I've been out of college now for a year and a half. It's been one heck of a ride so far. Lots of highs, lows and plateaus. I find myself unemployed for the 2nd time since graduation. Out of the 18 months that I have been out of school I have been jobless for 8 of those. I have an interview tomorrow for a job which I really would like to get. A job is not the complete answer to all of my problems but it would help solve a few. Looking for jobs has been a frustrating experience. I've applied for around 100 positions so far but have only interviewed, face to face, for around 5 of those. Lately I haven't been looking as dilligently as I once did. Looking on job boards hasn't shown to be that effective for me. It shouldn't be this difficult to land a job but unfortunately it is. I want to return to normalcy. I feel like I'm in the dugout just waiting to get into the ballgame.
