Have elected to go with a bit of optimism, a bit of alcohol, and a lot of time at the gym.<BR/><BR/>With a little bit of clearasil, I'll have made my way to slightly dull workerdrone stuck in a deadend job by Sunday, and am hoping for slightly clever by the time I go to work on Monday.Melinda Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293979989939787353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067569.post-63105313551968323102007-04-27T14:47:00.000-05:002007-04-27T14:47:00.000-05:00It sounds trite, but IMHO it's all about attitude....It sounds trite, but IMHO it's all about attitude. My best job in the world ev-ah was ruined by an evil Ohio soap company leaving me with no real prospects. Plus, my experience was limited to a specific technology and regulatory environment--one that I was bored with.<BR/><BR/>But instead, I choose to throw care to the wind and spend a few years having great experiences. Then, when I decided to get a job I was tempted to suffer through all the psychological trauma of self-doubt and lack of work-based self-respect. Hell with that, I thought, it's just life and Pangloss was right: things will work out in the end!<BR/><BR/>So they did with me, and they will with you. You'll find a sweet job somewhere.<BR/><BR/>Can't say I recommend the alcohol, although I'm usually quite keen on that. It seems to me that it would just make things worse.Bramley Apple Pies!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11738276845351610127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067569.post-6928145001239968262007-04-27T10:52:00.000-05:002007-04-27T10:52:00.000-05:00I'm with Dale, too.

Repeat as needed. <BR/><BR/>I am right there with the finances, and the job woes. I always kind of assumed that things got easier at some point, but I guess they don't. You're clever, bright, funny as hell, and have a great rack.
