Disappointed

[cornerofmadness]

For some reason (and forgive me if I've babbled about this already. My mind is so fried), I am LESS attractive this year to employers than I was last year. At least last year I had a half dozen phone interviews and I had no experience. Of course Karl says they'll probably start calling soon and he may be right. I know some aren't even looking until next week and my interviews were probably in June but I just can't remember. Still, I would have thought I'd do better with a year's experience, not worse. I used to think maybe it was my resume (Even when I was a doctor I had the same lousy luck in landing a job) so I get the thing doctored by experts but still... sigh. The rejecting you without even interviewing you letters are starting to come in droves (I'm beginning to think the DOCTOR in front of my name is scaring them off because that means I'm higher pay scale) including from the one school here in WI that I really wanted to at least interview in.

I'm finishing up my final exam. Seems kinda unreal to think the entire school year is gone. The tension is there to remind me. Woke up with a puffy and bruised cheek yesterday and there's no doubt I'm doing this to myself. The outline of the bruise matched my knuckles perfectly. Grinding my teeth so hard the pain wakes me up. Sigh. I really need to start Tai-Chi again.
