Job-Hunt

Applying for jobs is so annoying.

First you have to write your cover letter, making sure to include all of the pertinent information and leave out all of the superfluous stuff. Very tiring.

Then you have to edit your resume and make sure that it caters to your future employer's needs.

And finally, you have to check that your portfolio pieces are STILL okay... even though you know that they've been edited at least twenty times before.

Le sigh. Why can't a job just land in my lap? I would buy free ice cream for everyone in the world if that was the case....

So far I have completed two of the seven items that are on my "List of Awesome Things To Come!!" list... (sorry for the redundancy in that sentence).

I better get a job soon... I might just be tempted to stay at the theatre... Again... boo.

Milly's interpretation of me was not that far off-base; she inferred that I'm reserved, prideful, loyal, hard-working, stubborn, and creative --- but she also told me that I can come off as "cold". Now, it's interesting to me that what stuck with me most is the fact she called me cold. Not the fact she correctly guessed that I like to feel people out before baring my thoughts to them. Not the fact she told me I'm creative, but am wasting my talents. Nope. What affected me most about her reading is that I can come off as cold to certain people. I've been called so many things in my life (haven't we all?), but the things I've been called in the past have always had a more... well, a positive spin. I...
