Job Hunt

At first I thought finding a job was a little like trying to get married.

It was so exciting to think about the future and what it would be like.

Then after a while you start thinking that maybe there's not just one special one out there waiting for you. 

You would be happy with any good one; but a lot happier with a right one.


Now, I'm beginning to feel that our job search is more like being pregnant.

It's pretty exciting at first.  But towards the end you just feel tired and apathetic.  And you just want to get it over with.  And you start to think that it's never really going to happen.


Who knows, maybe a few more months of job hunting will feel like something else.

I'm hoping for a graduation type feeling and not a death.

  1. Hang in there! I've been in your shoes. The right thing will happen for your family, it is just so frustrating when it is not on your time schedule :) At least we get you for a little while longer.

  2. Looking for a job is the worst. Worse than being pregnant. Worse than having surgery. Worse than falling off a cliff and catching your eyelid on a rusty nail on the way down. Worst.
    So, they're not the most encouraging words, but I'm sending you all the sympathy I have.
    We'll pray about it -- and next week is fast Sunday, so we'll do that, too.
