Perhaps this is more a vent post than anything, but I'll take feedback too. This year has been amazing and crappy in several ways, and today feels like one of the crappier ones.
I am very underemployed right now, and have constantly been scouting for jobs, applying to jobs, and looking for other ways to fill up my time. I was laid off twice earlier this year, which put a damper on my self-esteem, but I trucked forward and did my best. I had to move out of my room a couple of months ago because I fell behind on rent and I've been staying with my boyfriend (sooo grateful for him).
We'd only been dating for 2 months at the time but he was completely open to giving me a place to stay. He felt better knowing I was safe and that means a lot. However, job prospects are not looking to hot. I had one job I thought was in the bag, and they pulled the rug out from under me and hired someone else. Sooo angry about that.
I was upset with myself today and took some of it out on him without meaning to. I was trying to apply for a job online and it was a lengthy and frustrating process (as many of you know I'm sure). He was asking for attention (just to cuddle) and I told him he had to wait in a firmer tone than I'd intended. I probably should have just gone elsewhere to do work because I just felt crowded and disorganized suddenly. I'd probably benefit from sitting in a Starbucks (I live on the outskirts of SD right now, so I'm pretty far from central anything).
I need to get my organization back. I need to start volunteering again. This is stuff that makes me happy and keeps me sane. Grawr. Sorry guys, just needed this rant.
