I’ve taken stock recently. I’ve sent out enough resumes to deforest half the Amazon, most of which simply vanished into limbo. I’ve called everyone I could think of, and they don’t know of jobs either. I’ve begun hunting in IT, but I have to convince those folks that just because I have a law degree doesn’t mean I’m technologically illiterate. I’ve applied for paralegal/ clerical jobs just to have a paycheck, and can’t even get in the door on those. Perhaps they’re right; I’m likely to have my own opinions on what needs to be done.
And none of it is going anywhere. I’ve not gone looking for something like retail on the grounds that there’s very little point in getting a job that pays little enough that most of my income would go to daycare. I’m working on things that will pay eventually, but that doesn’t help now. I know this too shall pass. I’m just hoping it will happen before my rope completely unravels.
