Caught In a World of Nothing

I have been pretty quite about my lack of employment lately due to the fact that if I talk about it, It consumes me. I didn't like who I was becoming with all the stress.

A couple of years back I changed careers due to completing my degree in Organizational Administration. I found a job out of school that paid less than when I didn't have a diploma, a step back, yes but I had that piece of paper that would allow me to find something better. Something better came along but I got caught in a world of office politics and what was suppose to be my long term job turned into a 6 month "lets fuck over Paul" fuck fest.

So over the the last 8 months I have made a lot of good impressions but no progress in getting a job. That last fuck fest brings up the standard question, "but Paul it looks like you job hop"....yep I have been pegged as a job hopper and I have come to realize that with that stigma it is a kiss of death.

So with that I keep going to interviews and keep getting rejected and the longer it goes the more stress that weighs down. The holiday season is looming soon, not quite there yet but boy it hits quick. Halloween then 4 weeks to Thanksgiving, then 4 weeks to Christmas, then one week to New Years. How far we fall so quickly.

Ok, so enough of all that good stuff but one of the "stigma's" that I have is that I have experience in a lot of different areas (sales, training, HR, production..) but master of none. So I had to laugh at this mornings Dilbert.....Dilbert rocks!
