Prayers, dances, chants, candles, any positive vibes are appreciated. Tomorrow at 1 p.m. central time, I again put on a fake smile and my best interview outfit and try to sell myself once again.
Meds aren't doing it, therapy isn't doing, it my self-esteem needs a job that uses my brain. Like this one would? Will? Sigh.

hi Poet,
I saw something interesting at a bookstore today: a Beethoven Action Figure and an Einstein Action Figure. I purchased them mentally because 20$ a pop seemed a bit much for a 'cute' item, and I did not wish to purchase them with real money.However, I will arrange Mr.'s B. and E. into cheerleader like poses in my mind.
They are shouting for you in German and English! They want you to get this job! Beehhoven is roaring and conducting his 9th symphony to pep you up; Einstein is furiously calculating how much money you will make and is telling B. to stop shouting; B. does not stop because -- as we well know -- he was already deaf by the time he composed his 9th...
(my mind is a busy and interesting place! --)
Anyway, good luck. Hope you get it!
Let us know.JS

Poet:
I think I know how you feel about having a challenging job. Being busy in itself is good. Being busy doing something that is fully engrossing is better. My IT career died 3 years ago and I haven't been able to find a job suitable to my intellectual and financial needs. The thought of a boring job (my 1st major depression followed a year in an incredibly boring and unchallenging position) is depressing, if not terrifying. I'm trying to have faith that I'll eventually find something tolerable before I have to live in a cardboard box. Wish you all the luck in the world.
