today officially marks two months of unemployment. reality is now becoming really depressing and no red wine can make that disappear. i guess i believed that by some stroke of good luck i would be hired somewhere by now? i've been reminded that we are living in the worst economic climate of our lifetime and that thousands of people are out of work exactly like me. i might have to wait six months or a year before i'm employed. ack. i blame george w for this. i hold him personally responsible for so much horrible-ness. the disastrous aftermath of hurricane katrina to prop. 8. it was no real surprise then that the phone did not ring on this monday afternoon. i sat on my couch drinking hot coffee and staring at the downtown traffic that never ceases. the sky is a thick, gloomy gray and the wind is chilling to the bone. it is too cold to go out. sorry. i did not intend for this blog post to be so completely dismal, because there is much to be grateful for, but being out of work sux. i am bored with writing cover letters and following up about positions and going to interviews. i am also facing the grim reality that i will most likely never ever find my "beloved." when i recently told A that i've opened myself to the idea of dating men again, she said:
BUT BEING WITH A WOMAN IS YOUR DREAM.
it is.
