Feeling Worthless

Okay, so the Christmas frenzy is over; now things can get back to normal. It was nice to spend the holiday with my daughter, even though we don't really do much special. We went to a Chinese buffet; that's our Christmas tradition.

I still don't have a job. I'm really too depressed to even try to look. If I go too long without working or being active and social, I start to feel like I'm terribly incompetent and worthless. Add the fact that I've had only the one call for a job interview out of all the applications I did, and it starts to seem hopeless.

My strategy right now is to focus on my online marketing endeavor, and to apply for seasonal jobs for this summer. It should be much easier to get a seasonal job since they are accustomed to their employees having spotty work records. I didn't want to do that again because I don't want to live dorm-like with a bunch of 20-somethings, but I can't be picky at this point. I'm even applying in areas other than where I really want to go.
