Grumble, grumble.

Going on a month and a half of job-hunting, and zero interviews. Color me antsy and discouraged. Not permanently, seriously, gonna-toss-it-all-and-make-fries discouraged, but temporarily unhappy. I'm only debatably qualifiable for internships since I'm no longer a student, so I'm not certain how much success I can expect from that avenue; and most of the rest of what I've applied for wants three years of experience in the field. Of which the zoo does not count as one. Ah, the ever-present paradox: How do you gain experience if the only jobs around require it?

Also, my box needs cleaning and I don't wanna.

And the thing is, I really shouldn't bitch. I just got back from a weekend at my dad's down in Houston, floating around the pool and reading a book. It's hard to beat that. Indolence is really starting to wear on me, though. I've had enough time off - I need to be doing something. And floating around as I am in career limbo, I can't even commit to anything hobby-like.

On the other hand, I found a really great job site today that included some excellent tips on the do's and do not's of jobhunting, particularly with respect to the internet. I'm pleased to note I'm doing a lot of things right, but I got some new good ideas, too.

Also, a happy quote: "Finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things." I am not a big Bible-reader, but the Phillipians, in my experience, appear to be a wealth of good advice.
