MILOK BEATS COOKIES!

Sadly, there is nothing to report. I occasionally think I will finally pull the plug on this, because it seems to me that I've said very little of any interest in a couple years, but I'm not quite there yet. How many ways can I say I don't have a job yet? How many times can I bemoan the fact that my lack of experience evidently trumps the fact that I actually have my degree? I'm at the point that, based on a suggestion from my brother, I am seriously considering going for my doctorate. They say insanity is repeating the same action over and over, and yet expecting it to yield different results. What does it say about me that I am considering returning to the world of higher education for the third time, in an effort to finally have enough training to earn a living for myself? Maybe I should just cut my losses and resign myself to a lifetime of retail work? Because honestly, I know that I am intelligent, I know that I have experience in instruction and customer service, I know that any public library would be lucky to have me, but how much rejection can you take before despair sets in? Is this what I worked for, to have the prospect of moving back in with my parents for the umteenth time lingering in front of me? What is it that employers want from me? These are the questions that keep me awake at night.

I have been keeping myself semi-occupied, watching movies on Turner Classic Movies, playing World of Warcraft, and walking the dog a couple miles every night. I am staying in Florida until after Thanksgiving, and I am planning on spending the holiday with my friend Eric and his family, so it will be a very Cuban Thanksgiving.
