I'm attempting to keep a positive and upbeat outlook today despite the fact that I've had not so much as a nibble in regards to my resume yet. No emails, no phone calls, no interviews, nothing. Nor will I take it as a bad sign that two of my minions are either already employed elsewhere or close to it. Given that I'm still officially employed at the moment I figure I can stave off a panic attack for at least a week or two more. After that all bets are off.

In the meantime, when I'm not feverishly job hunting, I'm still reading fanfic at an alarming rate. Is it my fault I've got 3 years of excellent SGA fic to catch up on? No, no it isn't. Well, ok maybe a little, but the point is there's so much good stuff to read out there that even my willpower is strained to the breaking point. And today I stumble upon an AU basically re-writing "The Mummy" with John as Brendan Fraser's character, Jeannie and Rodney as the brother and sister team, etc. Although I'm quite certain in this version John's going to get the boy, not the girl...or at least he'd damned well better.

I tell myself that as addictions go this one's not that bad. I mean I could be turning to booze or pills or something, right? At least with fanfic all I'm likely to ruin are my eyes and my last visit to the optometrist assured me that I'm nowhere near doing that.

I'll start worrying when your incoming mail starts piling up around the house....

As far as your minions being hired, there are just more jobs at that level than at a managerial level. And if you are applying for those too you won't get nibbles because you're overqualified.

Don't worry too much. The right opportunity will present itself.

I'm attempting to assure myself of that, believe me, and that I can afford to be unemployed for a few weeks as well without the world coming to an end.

I know I'd be just as freaked in your position, so it's hard for me to tell you not to be. But I know if you were in my position, you'd be telling me not to worry... and you've got a resume that strips mine.

And I know you hate to rely on the kindness of friends, but it's not as if any of us would let you be homeless and starving.

Good Luck with the job hunt.

Thanks!

I'm sure things will turn out just fine - relax :) Good luck with the job hunt! *hugs*

Good luck on the job hunt!

and hey, being addicted to a MMORPG is WAY better than being addicted to say, daytime soaps :-/

Pills are bad, m'kay?
