The following is an open letter to a very specific part of my stubborn psyche.
Dear Mental Blockage,
Alright. You have to stop this. You need to apply for work to get work. Just because you've been rejected sight unseen by Best Buy, several local TV and radio stations, newspapers and libraries, WalMart and Blockbuster doesn't mean that you will never get work again. It only seems that way.
You did good today; applying for your first job in a month and a half. Nordstrom would be lucky to have you. And if they can't see that another company will. Also, if that's the case? Fuck them. Forever and a day.
Notice how relatively good and responsible you feel after the initial anger from job application idiocy subsides? Isn't that a good feeling? Don't you want more of that? OK! Keep applying for work! All we're asking is two job applications a day. That's not much! You can do it and still have time for lots of other things. Like playing with the cats and reading 900 page long fantasy novels.
I'm glad we had this talk, Psyche. I love you when you act like a rational human soul.
Now! Music!

Interesting conversation. Perhaps creating your own job is an option? Just a thought...
I've been freelancing since 2008. My main client went poof at the beginning of the year and I haven't been able to scare up work since.
The struggle continues...
