That's always a burn, man :frown:

I've been unemployed since last August and I keep doing the same thing. I think I've aced an interview, think I've got the position in the bag....and then I get passed over.

Yeah, maybe... I dunno. I get pretty indecisive when I'm like this.

I should probably go buy some newspapers and start sifting through the classifieds.

Four words i live by, Jacques: Should is the mindkiller.

Should is the worst word in your language.

In the words of Yoda...there is no try, only do or do not.

Jacques...you remind of me back this summer before I was working. You remind of me because I know that like me, you are bursting with the desire to create. Yet that alone time can be such a muck, and can wind up feeling so wasted and unproductive..


Ain't that the truth... the worst part is that I don't even spend the time I waste on music or anything... it's like my creativity gets blocked by depression even though depression is great food for creativity. What the fuck? Damn.

I'm trying... I've really felt "Back on top" lately since cleaning up my habit... but yesterday my digital camera broke (going to Niagara Falls in about a week and a half; only thing I was looking forward to about it was the opportunity for some good photography...), and I've been fighting strep throat, and now this... it all just smashed me back down.

Thanks for trying to help, all of you. It warms my heart a little to have people who I barely know (Robot especially) trying to look out for me.

I love that quote!

Jacque, I hope you feel better soon.  Seriously, just get up and go do something, whether it be go out and get cheered up, or go get a paper.

Go!!  :heart:

I bet "should" rears its ugly head here too. You start thinking about what you "should" be creating. That creates such anxiety and distrust abotu the creative process, that you end up wasting your time smoking pot, and the ideas are all there, swimming in your head, a beautiful psychedelic whirl of images and sounds and ideas...and you let it sit there.

And rot.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Well I AM going to go down to 7-11 and grab a couple newspapers...

FUCK, i just feel like crying. But I don't let myself, for some reason. I feel like I'm waiting for release before I do something... but release never comes.

I might as well go buy the paper in the mean time...

Really, it's amazing what conscious shifts in our language can do to us.

I'm the type of guy that always says "Yeah I'll try to get that done.." "Maybe I'll..." "Tomorrow, perhaps.." I'm trying to change all of my maybes into definites. It's hard work, but I can tell it makes a difference in how I approach whatever task.

Yeah.. me too, obviously... I should do this, I might do that... I could do this, or I could do that... This might be what's wrong, or maybe this is what it is...

I try to rationalize everything instead of acting.

that sucks, but don't let it get you down it's no reason to smoking again either. maybe you weren't the best man for the job in their opinion. so what...that's one job of many. refocus and you'll find something else soon enough and pass any drug test required.

Hardest part of extensive unemployment is definitely how much time I spend alone... it really starts to eat away at you. I don't have many friends in real life... and the ones I do have are potheads. Blah.


If you think thats bad you should try supporting an entire family, house, etc and have the entire job market fall out and blow up under your feet. :laugh:

FYI, the market is good right now if you try hard enough you can get a job.

Yes, I should try that. Then this wouldn't seem so bad.

Thanks for making me feel retarded for complaining about a situation that is relatively difficult for me. That helps, really.

dont feel bad, I hate people. But.. As long as i think about muchies or animals(might be diffrent for you) and getting money to grow/get more, it makes me happy. also, smoke if you want to, a bowl wont hurt. 3 days of downin water and its out of your system. somtimes a bowl is all you need to bring someone back up...anyway, happy shroomin.

The point is more along the lines that its not nearly as bad as you make it out to be, and if you want a job bad enough you will get one.

Instead of sitting around mulling you should be out there looking and applying, even while waiting on one or two to callback, you keep applying for others so that ideally you have 3 or 4 all asking you onboard and you pick the best of the bunch.
