February 4, 2008Day 8

I'm an unemployed motherfucker without any prospects.

Today was one big fucking waste of time. I added a resume on Monster and spent the rest of the day looking at various job sites — NO GOOD LEADS! Monster, HotJobs, 37signals and Craigslist, and no goddamn leads.

There were plenty of positions that seemed like possibilities, but I always came up short once I got to the technical requirements. Is it possible that after eight years at the same company my area of expertise has narrowed to the point that I'm only qualified to work for the people who laid me off? Un-fucking-believable.

On top of that I haven't heard back from any of the companies I contacted over the weekend. Not going to panic on those just yet (don't want to seem desperate) but I'm not feeling very good about that either.
