Waiting

Having never been good at realizing how much time has gone by I only knew it had been a while since I have had a job. Looking at my calendar I see that it has been almost 6 weeks. It seems ridiculous that I have been out of work for so long. When this all started I felt like there were so many opportunities available. I was in line for being a fashion teacher, then a cosmetics manager, now a co-manager at a clothing store. Only one of the opportunities is ruled out, but waiting forever to find out results is killing me. It never seemed to take this long for me to be hired by the jobs I hated, but here I am waiting to be hired by places I might like. Life is not fair, but this is bordering on absurd. Tomorrow is Friday, and I was told on Tuesday that I would know if the clothing store is hiring me by the end of the week. Considering I have not heard that any of my references received calls I can say I am not very hopeful. Perhaps something is written on my forehead that I cannot see myself, but potential employers do. These are the days that I seriously consider becoming a stripper.
