Wheel of Mood Swings, turn and turn.

"Wheel of Morality, turn and turn. Show us the lesson that we should learn..."

Okay, it was Morality and not Mood Swings on the Animaniacs, but that's where my head is at these days. It's one month and counting since Black Thursday, and I don't have a fucking job yet. Today's mood: Angry. Mixed with a jigger of depressed.

I've been good about spending a few hours each weekday morning on "my new job." Revising the résumé, checking out the web, reading the newspaper. I've officially applied at 14 different places by fax, email, web, and snail. I've posted my vital stats at four job websites. Only two local job interviews, though.

The clock is ticking, since the Gravy Train only has about 3 or 4 more weeks. I'm hoping my trip to Origins provides some valuable leads, but I'm too realistic to believe that's going to happen.

I guess the roller coaster has more dips and turns than I expected. Sigh.
