Every time I get a solid reject slap in the face, I just go back in and beg for more.
Because THAT’S THE KINDA CHICK I AM, DAMMIT.
Job
hunting is the worst. And it’s a catch-22 in a lot of cases. I am 26
years old, I have almost 6 years of professional experience, all in
sales. Now, I am attempting to find a job in a completely different
field. They SAY entry-level, but they don’t really mean it. They want
someone who has some minimal experience, or maybe a college degree in
that field. How to get experience in order to get hired and gain some
experience?
Life’s little mysteries.
They
also say “it’s easier to find a job if you already have one.” This one
very well may be true. But then you have to figure out ways to go on
interviews, for jobs you likely won’t get anyway, in the middle of you
already-employed workday.
Getting
a new job is a lot like moving to a different apartment or house. There
are usually good reasons to make the move, you usually want to do it,
and it generally puts you closer to where you want to be.
But damn, it sucks times infinity. PLUS ONE.
Job
hunting and apartment hunting are both exercises in frustration.
Eventually, you find something and you make the decision to take it, and
it either works out better or it doesn’t.
But if you don’t even try, you’ll stay stuck in the same place forever, unhappy but not making any moves to fix it.
So,
I guess in the end, no matter how discouraging or frustrating job
hunting is, we’ll still slap on suits, take extra copies of our resumes,
remember to wear the nice shoes, and then later, go home and start
applying to more, after the rejection slap we just suffered at the hands
of those that control our job fates.
Wow.
Talk about depressing. Sorry for the weird sad note in this. It is a
discouraging process, but I never let anything get me down for long!
Here, enjoy this awesome picture of Liz Lemon from 30 Rock and Buzz
Aldrin yelling at the moon.
Speaking
of the moon, why do all the other planets we come across get cool names
for their moons, like Jupiter’s “Callisto” and “Iocaste” and Saturn’s
“Hyperion” and “Phoebe” (Phoebe is Saturn’s 9th moon and was discovered
in the late 1800s. Wonder what made them go with Phoebe??), and all we
get is “moon.”
It’s
like, screw you, Earth, you don’t even get a NAME for your stupid moon.
You only have one of them anyway. Or maybe it’s like when a small child
has a teddy bear and almost always names him “Teddy.” Maybe we were too
young and uninformed to be able to properly name our moon anything
other that what it actually is. Though, we at least didn’t name Earth
“Planet.”
Imagine that. “Of all the planets in the solar system, Planet
has supported life for this long...though we aren’t entirely convinced
of the intelligence of said life. After all, they named their giant
self-sustaining spaceship ‘Planet,’ even after calling all other 8 orbiting bodies in their vicinity planets as well.”
So,
we escaped being made fun of by all the other, bigger planets on that
score. If we are allowed to vote on it, I think we should name the
planet something Earth-y. We name a lot of other planets moons after
random gods and goddesses of lore. So, we should name our moon something
more human-y, since so far, we’re the only humans we know of out here.
And it’s OUR moon anyway, so screw what other planet’s being think we
should call it.
Hmm...how
about “Great Tide Controller of the Sky” or “Man Behind the Curtain”
(heck yeah, Oz reference!), or maybe “Fred.” Maybe something more
flora/fauna related? “Flower of the Night” or “Jungle Riptide.” You know what? Riptide Jungle would be a cool name for an 80's tribute hair band.
I don’t know, I am running out of name ideas here. Come on, help me out, people!
...lol, and if you think those are awesome names that I came up with on the fly, wait ‘til I have a puppy. Or a KID! I want a puppy, and I’d like to name it Dragon. We shall see, OH WE SHALL SEE.
