Okay, so I figure a month of avoiding what's going on in my life is long enough. The biggest reason for lack of contact is because there has literally been nothing new or exciting going on. I still hate my current job and I am still applying like crazy to different positions. However, I'm doing this round with a little more enthusiasm and confidence. I realize that I can't sit and feel sorry for myself and the fact that I'm not getting a job because I'm not the only one. The way to make myself stand out is to work hard and not just give up. I need to show that even if the economy is down, I am not. I cannot let my excuses get me down. No matter what I am a competent and skilled editor. I have to do more than just try applying. I need to learn more about where I'm applying and learn why I want to apply there. Right now I'm going to have to take jobs I don't really want so I can spend my free time getting ready and qualified for the job that I really want.
My first step is in myself. My second step is in my outside appearance. I need to have my confidence emulated in what I wear and how I project who I am. Sometime I'm going to actually go shopping and actually buy some clothes like they show on "What not to Wear" that are sexy/mature yet professional. Which means I get to learn how to walk in pointy shoes with high thin heels...
In other news, I've been applying to places in Utah now as well. I figure if I'm not goign to get anything around here I should at least apply for out there and then I am covering more bases than just Washington. I don't want to leave here, but I might just have to until I can find a job here that is steady. That is life, I suppose. And this is it until something more happens, I suppose. ^_^

I dunno if I'd call this an update of the "century", but you do make some really good points. It is good you're not letting anything get you down anymore. Just keep at it. I'm sure you'll be hired somewhere and will become a fantastic editor what will publish many breakaway sellers. Yup. Keep that bright attitude!
And if you have to go back to Utah...oh well. At least you and I can pal around sometimes. And play Rockband.
You go girl! Keep that attitude and you will do great, even if it is eventually. And, like Erica, I would not be too terribly bothered if you had to come back to Utah. Of course I want you to stay in Washington so I can come visit you. Good luck with the pointy shoes. Perhaps you can just dress horribly for a while and Erica and I can nominate you for What Not to Wear. Or perhaps we can get them to clothe the lot of us. Wouldn't that be awesome. But, alas, that is probably only a dream.
