2009, that is. A new year. With nothing to look forward to in the new year, I wasn't too thrilled about 2008 ending. At least with the holidays, I had a reason as to why I slacking on sending out resumes. Now that the holidays are over, I have a whole new year to concentrate on finding a job. Great...
2008 wasn't bad. It was a good year overall, and in the beginning there was hope. I passed the Bar, I got married, I moved and made new friends. Even with my current state of unhappiness, I don't think I could ever be as miserable as I was in law school. Still, 2008 slapped me around a bit and drained me. By the end of the year, I definitely felt like I'd lost the battle.
I'm lacking the new year hoorah spirit. I don't have that urge to make a list of resolutions.
The girl who couldn't stand being unemployed and unproductive has finally given in. That's right - dare I say it, but I think I've gotten used to not working. I fight with myself. Don't be so damn pessimistic...but I'm tired of searching...it's a new year, new opportunities...exactly how many jobs do I have to apply to before I get an interview!?
Like it or not, I get to start all over again. I just keep reminding myself that I'm still lucky, despite not having a job.
Happy 2009, friends! Wish all of you a year full of happy moments and new opportunities!

Happy 2009, Stella!
I know exactly how you feel.
A few days ago I realized just how comfortable I became with being unemployed when I actually contemplated shifting my focus from finding a job to finding a sugar daddy.
