Who knew I'd be into cutting down trees

I am unemployed and trying to be "positive" about it. I decided that perhaps right now in America and perhaps around the world, I am not alone. I am not the only one without a guide book.

I have been trying my hand at online job searching. Really the only way you can look for a job these days. Searching for a job online is like being told by a bunch of faceless strangers that you need to go to college or that you have wasted the last ten years in the one profession. I use the word profession loosely. Changing low income bracket "professions" has proven more difficult than I thought. My well versed knowledge of the cash register or the many years I have been willing to put up with customers saying in not so few words that I'm a stupid asshole, hasn't quite bared the fruits I was hoping. Online job applications give me the opportunity to send my sensitive information off into the job database abyss in the hopes of getting some kind of positive result. The auto response leaves me wanting more and keeps me coming back. I watch my email as simultaneously watch my facebook. It also keeps me filling out more online applications so that maybe someone will want me and send me an email. I haven’t felt this rejected since high school.

I miss paper...
