    Yeah, at least after my bad day, one place I dropped a résumé seemed REALLY interested, and didn't seem concerned with my salary requirements listed. Oh, and my born-and-bred-in-Dublin Thomas Read straight razor was waiting on me when I got home.


    *Edit: I'm too young for retirement!

    Life is like photography. We develop from the negatives.

    I'm sorry to hear that you might be working for free since they weren't concerned that your salary was 'Retired'!

    Sorry but I just couldn't help myself!!!

    Seriously; if you do find better employment then good for you!

    Needless to say, I dropped off a résumé or two on the way home today.
    I was in your position once and it seemed at the time like the worst day. It was the kick in the rear I needed and ended up in at least the top 5 best days!

    Yeah, definitely.

    One thing I'm taking as a good omen is that I stopped in a Subway to pick up some sandwiches for dinner and was talking with the guy behind the counter about when I used to work at a Subway in a different city back in '99. The manager overheard and pretty much offered me a job on the spot to pick up some extra cash. Kind of a menial job, but it made me feel like I am marketable to a prospective employer... something I haven't felt in about 3 years.

    It's a bad morning when your cannot get the top off the nitro tablet bottle and the wife whines when you wake her to help you out.
    Be just and fear not.
