I'm obsessed with job-seeking. I'm not sure if I'm made for any sort of job at all. I didn't really mean it when I named this thing the Malingerer, but apparently it's very suitable. But I do like looking for a job. I look on Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com and Craigslist everyday to see what new possibilities there are. Mostly they want experienced people. But I can type fifty words a minute. I took a test on-line.

I've applied for a couple of receptionisty things and administrative assisstant things. I think it would be interesting to work in an office, anthropologically speaking. The work will be easy if I'm capable of doing it, but my only experience of the office experience comes from Dilbert and The Office (the BBC version, of course). It can't really be that bad, can it? I'm also thinking that to be a waitress might be a good thing, in that, anywhere I go, there will be restaurants, so I'd always be able to find some work relatively easily. There's a job fair tomorrow at the convention center. I'm totally going. If only my good shoes weren't in a box in California.

I think sort of menial labor will be good for me. Not that I need to be humbled or anything, or connect with the working man, but I need to do something to make money and structure my day, but it can't be anything that I have to think about (beyond "I can't believe how stupid that customer/co-worker/boss is!") when I get home. I need to be able to come home and read Kierkegaard and write poems. Side-note: If I ever have a son, I'm naming him Soren.
