I am officially back on the job application train, and it is every bit as unpleasant a ride as the last n times. At the moment I'm applying for holiday retail jobs, in the hopes of actually getting one (which hopes I do not harbor for the office jobs that I actually want), so of course all my recent computer training is useless, whereas the Spanish that I swore I was going to re-learn but didn't would have pretty much guaranteed success. Unlike this summer I'm not completely hopeless, because as my experience a few years ago testifies, it is really easy to get hired for holiday retail. Although it would be easier if the Halloween store hadn't screwed me over this year and I could list them on my applications, but OH WELL.
If nothing else this is allowing me to be shamefully impressed with myself for filling out job applications while EVERYTHING IS WRONG, although I did have to take a two-hour nap first. And I'm not sure what else I'll get done tonight, because nothing makes me feel more like an inconvenient and inconsequential stain on the world than filling out job applications, or rather not filling out all the parts I can't--business references, more than one non-business reference, any particular achievements, more than six months of job history ending almost three years ago, etc. I have lived an empty and wholly unimpressive life, it's always nice to be reminded. Maybe before I shut down the computer tonight I'll make some Cat And Girl icons, that will totally redeem my existence.
