Reading blogs about jobs and careers is so fucking boring.  I mean, I know there are blogs out there that are supposed to give a fresh, interesting spin on such topics but I really just can't read any of them.  Maybe this is why I'm still unemployed.  Whenever people start talking about their jobs, resumes, careers, and the like I go catatonic.  I've always thought of work (most types, anyway) as a necessary evil rather than an interseting conversation topic.  Before my trip when I was working I would find myself talking about my job all the time and I hated myself for it.  Why did I do it?  Nothing could possibly have been more boring of me.

I found several white hairs on my head the other night and I was struck with a renewed sense of dread and panic about the future.  The thought occured to me that I could go completely gray and still not have a real job.  At this point winning the lotto feels legitimately more plausible than having a job.

PS: I'm not attacking my friends that talk about their jobs, btw.  I know it's just what people do.  I just don't get the popularity of career blogs.  I guess I'm still one of those kids reading icanhazcheezburger.  Maybe some day I'll graduate to Brazen Careerist...
