Sara - Yay for your good week! Tonta, hm? Yeah, I don't know how I feel about that, I think that would make grumpier! :)

Rhea - Aw, thanks! It'll be ok. Just a rough few days. Kisses!

babe, i'm sorry to hear that. i love you and i miss you and if i could give you a job i would in a heartbeat. and i am proud of you for showering. i understand just how big an accomplishment that can be. (trust me, i get it, i'm waffling between sleeping all the time with no motivation to do... anything. and going out for days in a row and making *really* poor decisions and throwing any semblance of responsibility out the window)

Oh sorry! I hope you rest up. I've been having...

Oh sorry! I hope you rest up. I've been having a pretty great week actually!

hahahaha I like grumpet. My boyfriend called me tonta when I get cranky. Tonta=stupid/silly. I don't think that's a good thing.

Kim - I know right? It'd be nice if I could just look at it like some kind of extended vacation...but I can't.

Kyle - Thanks. I am sorry you have financial worries too - it'd be so nice to not have these things hanging over our heads. Or if we could just look at them as a figment of our subconscious. Sadly. I can't.

Sandy - Thanks! I am actually not looking at seek.com at all, really. But I'll definitely look into applydirect! Thanks for the tip :)

Jill - This isn't the "real" depression, this is just being sad and tired. But I plan on staying strong...Thanks for your support :)

Ev Rev - Sounds like a GREAT friday evening to me! And yes, we are in this together! AND WE SHALL CONQUER.

SIGH. And now you've gone and written a post f...

2010-02-06T07:45:22.330+11:00

SIGH. And now you've gone and written a post for ME. I find that, at the beginning of the week, I feel so so great and productive. But by the end of the week I don't even want to see anyone.

Which is why I am at home on a Friday with blogs, a bottle of cremant and a chocolate bar.

Ahem. Yes, well. That and the whole ridiculous dating thing.

Don't forget we're in this together! (With a lot of other people, it seems!)

2010-02-06T02:25:07.945+11:00

Yikes. Don't succumb to the throes of depression, because it'll be all the more difficult to get out.
I will be thinking of you. :)

2010-02-05T23:25:13.688+11:00

Try applydirect.com.au as well as Seek - it searches a few sites and brings up some jobs that you might not have seen, particularly if you use Seek exclusively. I found 2 out of the 4 jobs I had in the past year through there.

Blah. I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I...

2010-02-05T17:22:24.248+11:00

Blah. I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I get obsession on the brain too and sometimes it's paralyzing. Right now I mostly worry about not having money and that's definitely a constant stressor. I wish I could just not think about it for one minute of my life!

2010-02-05T08:20:05.448+11:00

I'm a bit cooler than I was yesterday...not so angry.

There are days when a job situation just buries you in exhaustion. It sucks.

2010-02-05T07:49:51.997+11:00

guilty of gossip - Environmental science is my field.

Diary of Why - We should start some jobless blogger society.

Jessica - Unfortunately, I need the job to get PR in Oz, the job being the secondary goal really. which is why it's so stressful and why I can't stop thinking about it.

Twisted Susan - For you misery likes company? I'll see what I can do.

Tina - I, too, will be taking the first job that hires me. Which are your chips of choice?

linlah - Thank you! It took a lot out of me, that's for sure.

Matthew - Glad to hear it. Unfortunately Seek hasn't come up with a single job ad that works for me. Tragic. But thanks for the tip :)

Me? Oh, I'm getting by. If I ever win the lo...

2010-02-04T19:30:04.176+11:00

Me?

Oh, I'm getting by.

If I ever win the lottery I will pay you to blog. How about that?

ps. Don't mean to be a pessimist, but maybe keep checking seek.com for now. ;)

I'm proud of you for accomplishing that Ellen and shower thing. It's all about the small victories.

2010-02-04T15:39:16.866+11:00

That sounds really familiar. Now that I settled for the first job that would hire me, I'm still looking and think about it all the time. And then I panic, and then I eat an entire bag of chips.

Good luck.

2010-02-04T14:31:29.187+11:00

When I'm miserable I think of all the people I know who have problems that I wouldn't want. That usually does the trick long enough for me to accomplish a small task.
There's also nothing wrong with napping for a few weeks.

2010-02-04T14:20:02.360+11:00

The best way to find a job is to quit looking.
Seriously.

Take a break, and forget that you NEED one. Spend a day doing whatever sparks your interest.
At the end of the day there will have been something that caught your interest; maybe turned your brain in a direction you never anticipated.
Open your mind to possibility.

.. and this from someone who is the very definition of "Screw it, I need a nap".
I understand. It is exhausting when you focus so hard on something.
Your human. Don't forget to laugh, to play.
There is a reason that puppet you mentioned spent so much time sleeping.
It's OK to cut the strings and run away for a day. ;)
Life is short. Take the time to make memories .. and all that other nonsense.

Let us know how it goes.

DO IT. (that was your sub-conscious)

2010-02-04T14:01:15.844+11:00

Ugh- sorry to hear you arent having any luck with job searching! what field are you in? Just keep trucking, and something will hit soon!
