Job interview went well, but they gave it to someone who had more specific experience than I do. No biggie-- I wasn't really committed to the job anyway.
With the prospect of actually having a job looming over me, today I understand why being unemployed isn't like being on school holidays.
I mean, apart from needing money and not having any, which of course makes it different, I realised that when you're on school holidays, the horrible prospect of going back to school makes you appreciate the time you have. I've been putting things off for weeks now, and when suddenly it seemed like I hadn't got the time to do it all before I went back to work, my time suddenly seemed precious and useful...
I guess I've been trying to remind myself of this all along, but it's hard to make the most of something when you don't know how much of it you've got. Perhaps this will inspire me to at least get busy while I'm waiting for work to show up...
