I'm so sick of job hunting. It's not even funny. I've been looking hardcore since January. I haven't so much as gotten an interview anywhere. I'm debating just moving somewhere and then looking for a job. The issue is that while I hate my current position, I'm able to pay all my bills and live comfortably. Of course, I'm living with my dad. I'd need to make another $5,000 or $10,000 a year to get my own place, depending on where I move. Considering I have a masters, I didn't think that would be that difficult. It's proving to be.
So, if I just move somewhere before I have a job I could possibly lose my car or fall behind on my ridiculously high student loan payments. I'd really like to find the perfect job and then move for that. I don't know. I just want my own place. I had one when I was 18-22, then I had to move back home for financial reasons. I had managed to live with it the past few years because I was still in school. There's no excuse now. I'm going to be 29 this year and I still live with my dad.
I submitted my TV pilot to the Austin Film Festival. I believe it has the chance to be picked up, or at least open some doors to jobs. The issue is that I won't hear anything until September and the winners won't be announced until October. I don't think I can do this for another five months. I just really hate my job. Grumble grumble.
I don't know. I just feel like my life is nowhere near where I wanted it to be. And that's fine. I get that it usually doesn't end up where you wanted it to. But I'm essentially in the same place I was when I was 17. At least, that's how it feels. I want some progress. I'm sick of living out of my bedroom and all my shit being in boxes in the basement.
One the up side, I do have some fun stuff planned for the next month. I went to Detroit last weekend and saw VNV Nation. I'm seeing Connor Oberst and The Faint later this month. I'm also going to a big nerd convention in June. Good times ahead, I suppose.
I'm into my third month of Accutane. I have an appointment in two weeks and I hope he doesn't want to put me on it for a fourth month. I'm pretty much already clear and it's not fun to be on. My skin is just so dry. I have to apply chapstick constantly or my lips crack and bleed. The inside of my nose is constantly dry. I haven't noticed any depression, but I might be a little more irritable on it. We'll see what happens.
Not much else is going on. My sister is coming into town tomorrow so lots of family stuff this weekend. Hopefully I can find some time to relax.
