jobs

Applying for jobs is tiring. So many resumes and cover letters and each one has to be customized just right and painstakingly agonized over. And after spending a few months out of corporate america, well, who really wants to go back to that?

I just lucked out when I first entered the job market. I could quit my job without anything lined up and be employed two days later. It was amazing. That is certainly not the case now. And it's not that I'm completely spoiled. It's just that I'm doing battle between wanting to be picky and wanting to be employed. And I just haven't seen anything on monster.com lately, except a lot of work-from-home postings. I already work from home, why would I want to pay someone to teach me how?

I suppose what I should really do is read more. I'm already reading the New Yorker cover to cover. But I could up it and be more diligent about salon.com and the daily misleader. Or I could play more bookworm. Ah, the choices.
