Sorry for the silence. As seems to be the case with a lot of the blogs I read, other things have taken priority over blogging. Lack of time, lack of interest, and maybe just nothing really noteworthy going on.
Being unemployed is starting to really be a drag, and I’m not really sure how all of this is going to shake out in the end. I can’t really begin to tell you how it takes your self-confidence and beats the shit out of it. Honestly, I don’t think there has been much I could have done better to have the situation(s) turn out differently (as in me being employed), but pressing on and continuing to pound the pavement, send out resumes and do all of the other job hunting stuff is really tough. I keep telling myself not to stress out about it this week, since it’s Christmas and all, but I know that it’s going to be here when I get back home. I’ve tried to ignore it for so long, it’s not working anymore. Denial only takes one so far.
But hopefully I can figure out how to deal with it. I really am looking forward to spending a few days of the holidays out in St. Paul. No trip downstate this year, but I did get to see my family a few weeks ago, which was really great.
So, there you go. If you haven’t heard from me lately or seen me online, I’m still around, just keeping a low profile. But thanks to everyone who has checked in lately. It does mean a lot.
