Whee!

Since nobody seems to want to hire me to do what I know how to do, I've started sending in applications for jobs I don't know how to do. Couldn't hurt, right? Might help. At the very least, it gives me the impression that I am doing something useful, which does make me feel better.

So, I think the depression is on its way out - they say that depression is just anger without enthusiasm. So I figured the way out was to add enthusiasm, yielding anger, and then remove the anger, leaving only the enthusiasm. It's easier when it's a process. Seems to be working so far.

Of course, distractions don't hurt in the process, and I've been amply distracted yesterday evening and so far today. I'm working on some concepts for the meditation room altars at Prairie Star District conference, and thinking of wandering down to the mosaic shop - I want to make a tree-of-life mosaic for one of the altars... maybe. Unless I think of something better. So far today, my good idea engine seems to be working, so a better plan does not seem impossible.

Better than a sharp stick in the eye

I got a temp job! It's an accountant job for a machine works out in the middle of nowhere. I'm feeling a little Dead Man about this, really.

Anyway, the money is quite a bit below what I'd ask for in a permanent job, but for it to be something to do for a couple weeks until one of the other companies I'm courting to get their collective head out of their collective ass, it's okay. I'll be making more than the unemployment check I just filed for, so that's good. And, if something better comes along, I can walk.

So I start tomorrow this week, sometime. I'm bringing my own tobacco.
