wherefore art thou, employment?

finding a job is proving to be more difficult than i thought. i've sent over 60 resumes in the past 6 months and got exactly 2 interviews prior to last week. i was offered both jobs but had to turn one down in order to take the other. sadly, two hours prior to my starting time, the job i accepted (marketing director with tidwell realty) called and told me they no longer had any hours for me. i sent an email to the job website where i found the position. i also researched better business bureau thinking i could do something there. but in the end, i just sighed and moved along. so now i have a very stunted work schedule at the job i've had for the past year (i had just hired an intern to take my place so i no longer have the hours available to me), a job i hate. a job that makes my heart drop a little every time i think about it.

but alas! within 24 hours of the dreaded we-have-no-hours-for-you phone call, i snagged an interview at a print shop (i have a second interview wed.) thanks to a friend's quick networking tactics and also managed to get another interview with a different print company. things are looking . . . up, maybe? i guess i just need to calm down and wait for the plan to fall in line around me instead of attempting to snatch it from its womb. that's kinda gross.
