Moodiness

Hello Everyone:

I came home yesterday from another very productive writing session feeling a bit moody.  No real reason why, just moody.  Maybe it's from being frustrated with the job search or family life is just being annoying right now.  Maybe I need a booty call-hahaha.  My allergies aren't exactly helping my mood.  You know how sometimes you just feel like nothing seems right and you just need to change things a bit.  What's not feeling right is the fact that I've out of school for over a year and still no job.  Not even a something to hold me over until I find the real job.  Not even another interview.  In the past year, I've maybe had 2-3 interviews and taken one job-related exam but nothing else.  I actually did something proactive last week, I got in touch with one of my former readers and told him about another blog (historicpca.blogspot.com) that I write, dedicated to architecture, historic preservation, urban planning and design.  I told him how much I enjoy writing and researching and would like to make that a real career option.  It's true, ferreting out information, critically analyzing it, and putting on the screen is something I really enjoy.  Call it a product of too many years of schooling or just plain karma but I've always believed that you do something you enjoy and enjoy what you do.  So we've been playing telephone/email tag and he said he would call me tomorrow.  I can't wait.  I like to talk to the ex-reader because he's honest, overly energetic, and positive.  I worked with him fairly closely on my thesis.  It's funny, it got to a point where my advisor was dad and the ex-reader was mom and when dad said no, I'd go to mom.  Truthfully I wouldn't mind getting paid to write and research on a steady basis.  I just wish someone would give me chance.  I send out resumes and nothing.  I would like the security of a steady paycheck and benefits.  Having that security and doing something I enjoy is the best feeling.
