Now that Walt is back in public school, I am on the job hunt. I applied for about 15 jobs last week and landed one interview, but found out this morning that I didn't get the job. Next month I will have to consider letting the bank take my van back, as I just can't afford the payments. I am not quite to the point of applying for fast food jobs, but will have to suck it up and do that if nothing comes through soon. I know many intelligent, capable, educated people who have been under or unemployed for years, and that scares the shit out of me.

In completely unrelated and less depressing (or maybe not) news, The Leftovers is utterly brilliant and everyone should be watching it. Don't expect anything to make sense yet. Just let the tone, mood, and imagery wash over you. Sometimes things don't make sense. It's a story about events that still don't make sense to the people they happened to. Give it a chance.

Utopia continues to be gory and insane and quirky and I love it. I don't see people talking about this show very much, so I hope it survives for a third season.

Having been one of those underemployed for decades, I can tell you from experience that retail is better than fast food if you're going to need to work in the service industry.

Good luck with the job hunt.

Thinking good thoughts for you and hoping something good on the job front comes through soon.

Just Googled The Leftovers and I did not realize Christopher Eccleston was in it! The premise sounds interesting.

I really hope you find something soon. Have you considered working from home? I was offered a job by Sykes and by Sitel, both home-based customer service jobs. They were both full time though, and I couldn't take the hours so I had to turn them down.
