Tomorrow is when I'm going to resume my job searching. Specifically, tomorrow I'm setting aside time to really go over my resume and make sure everything is accurate and all that. I don't know, I'm so indifferent about it. I spent a little time online looking yesterday, at job listings all over the US, not even just in New England or my other "chosen" states. I still don't know if I should stay here or if I should go. I'm never sure if it makes a difference either way, if anyone really cares.
I've had a constant headache since yesterday morning, the Chinese food bothered my stomach, and I'm still not hungry.
I just don't feel like bothering. . .

I care.
I'm in the middle of job searching too. I'm trying to find some more work.
At the moment, Australia is in holiday season - with everyone on annual leave.
And so, the past week has involved sending off emails about jobs, to which no one replies.
Very dull....
Hopefully, it will pick up soon.
And you know I care, I wouldn't have spent the time trying to suggest jobs and places to look if I didn't! I know you can find something, I still say look for something to do with writing, because that is definitely a great skill you have. Most people out in the "business" world and other places can barely construct a logical sentence according to a news story I was watching. So being able to write well should be worth something!
As for whether you should stay or go, I wish RI had more jobs and affordable housing right now, because this wouldn't be a problem for either of us. I would like to say that even if I go to VT and help Sanders, or go somewhere else to gain experience, that I'd be able to move back here and live here. But I don't know, its so expensive that I might have to work on my affordable housing plan out of state before I can move back! lol. It's a difficult situation, and I honestly don't even know where I'll end up right after graduation, so me giving advice on that isn't going to be very helpful.
David-
Good luck with your own job search! At least you've taken the first step, though I know that sometimes waiting to hear back is the hardest part.
Travis-
I do appreciate the advice you've given me, but ask any of the people that have tried talking to me about it previously and they'll tell you that my pessimism towards this subject is notoriously difficult to break through. :p
It's absolutely true that most people in the business world are terrible writers. Hell, all the memos we get at work from the "big shots" contain some of the worst grammar and spelling I've seen anywhere! I was doing a little bit of searching the other day and *did* look at some writing jobs. My willingness to apply would depend on the actual position, but maybe I'll start considering that as an option.
The whole "where to live" question is definitely not going to be easy to answer. I also would like to stick around RI a bit longer, but since so many other states have slightly cheaper apartments, if I can find a job elsewhere, I may have to pack up and go. :/ I've actually considered VT and NH myself, cuz hell, I could always move somewhere warmer later.
This doesn't mean I've given up on the radical bookstore idea, because that's still something I want to do. That's something you and I would have to talk about at a later point, and probably not via blog comments! hehe
