Best Laid Plans?

So yeah. I've stuttered and stumbled and again fallen off the blogwagon. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day who asked if I'd given up on it. I hadn't really thought about it, but my immediate answer was "No, I just don't feel as though I have anything to write about."

Being unemployed, there is no ridiculous co-worker drama to discuss. There is no "corporate bigwigs are idiots" rant to be done. I don't have a surplus of cash, so I don't do a lot of shopping that doesn't involve chicken breasts, milk, eggs, assorted fruits and veggies. For the same reason, I haven't been on a lot of kick ass excursions. I have done a few really nice hikes, and worked at a Habitat For Humanity house, but for whatever reason I neglected to expound on the occasion.

I think, primarily, I've been a bit...down...about the whole job thing. I've actually started looking again, and, as per usual, I went into it with high hopes and a great self image. After being rejected and/or completely overlooked by everything I've applied for, I'm feeling quite shot down. I don't suppose most corporate managers can see their way to hiring a retail manager for a sit down admin job. Funny though, when I'd been a sit down admin for the past three years, retail had no problem snatching me up. Yes, I've bounced around a lot, and this is probably the major issue with my resume--3 years is the longest I've held a job in recent memory. Perhaps ever. I have a short attention span, I suppose. I get bored easily, or--more likely--disillusioned with my current situation. Or, I just move. At any rate, I'm sure many employers balk at the "dates held" section of my resume.

Anyway anyway, I didn't intend for this to be come a diatribe on my lack of gainful employment. I just wanted to say hi, and that no, I haven't given up on this. Really.
