Jobs anyone?

Well, a sticky note on my desktop tells me I have 18 jobs I should apply for tomorrow. After filling out four applications today I guess I'm ready to tackle some more tomorrow. That's right, three months out of college and I'm still unemployed. It's frustrating to be sure, but I'm nowhere near hopeless yet. Well, I guess nowhere near hopelessness is a little bit extreme. I'm still like a month from hopelessness. That's more accurate.

You see, I'm writing this blog post because I'm feeling more hopeful than I have since last week when Jenny and I were turned down for a job we had been really hoping for. But of course life is never just that easy.

But now I have some things to be excited about! Yesterday I passed my driving exam (on my fourth try) and got my license! I was just fed up with failing so I just went in and did everything perfect. I hit a grand total of zero babies and scraped zero cars and parallel parked like Mr. P. A. Rallel himself. It was wonderful. I do think I freaked out the tester by thanking him so emphatically for passing me, though. I don't they usually have people try to kiss them on the job.

And the other excitement? Tomorrow I am going to use my fancy shmancy new job to drive my beautiful wife, Jenny, to a job interview that I believe she is wholly qualified for. So one of us might be employed tomorrow!

Yet the fact remains. I need a job too. In the past three months Jenny and I first honeymooned, then house-sat, and now we have been in repose at her parents house until such a time as we have somewhere else to go. To be honest I am exceedingly excited to move out and start our life in earnest. Also, once we have jobs I can get a new computer. That Dell XPS 8500 looks mouthwateringly sexy from where I'm sitting.

So, aside from the three applications I am dropping off tomorrow I am also willing to just have you hire me. That's right, YOU! I LOVE YOU! Like, seriously, whoever you are, my resume is a thing of beauty and eligibility and my e-mail is always hoping for job offers. I'm multitalented, very talented, and buckets of fun to work with. I would especially welcome offers to work as a video game writer, rock star, facial hair model, or general nice guy (every office needs one). Trust me, you want to hire me.

Anyway, that's enough for one post. I'd love to hear from you in the comments or an e-mail. Until next time, this is Chris, you're friendly neighborhood rambler, asking that you keep in touch.
