I spent most of my day on Saturday sifting through various job sites looking for a job. “But oh fearless leader of Gonzonia, don’t you have a job?” Yes my loyal subjects, I have a job and it sucks. I know, I know, everyone’s job sucks. However, I live in Florida. That means that my boss has the right to abuse his employees in whatever way he sees fit. If we don’t like it, we have the “right to work” somewhere else. As a result, that’s what I’m trying to do. The problem is, everyone wants either more than I can offer, or to pay less than I can accept.

I’ve looked into working for the government, for non-profit, changing careers. Anything. All I know, is that I’m not happy where I am. I sent out about 10 resumes yesterday. Yes, I realize I’m incoherently rambling on like some drug crazed gothic poet on prozac but deal with it. What do I want to do? I want to write. I want to get paid to write scripts like the one that was just produced The Acropolis Project: Balance. That’s my dream job. Get paid to write cool stuff or at least think it up. Sit around with a group of people that I have fuin with, come up with cool ideas and work through them.

Will this ever happen? Well, that depends on if I’m ever lucky enough to have Joss Whedon read and like Balance. If that happened I may be able to get a job, or at least the opportunity to do what I enjoy most. Sigh..

For now I’ll continue to apply for IT positions. I’m a VB/ASP Developer by trade, a writer by design. I’ve had one interview in the last 7 months that I’ve been sporadically sending out resumes. Now I’m sending them to more and more recruiters. I just got some questionaire from a recrutier that I’ll fill out and send back at some point today. Who knows, maytbe I’ll get lucky and something will come out of this round. Until then, the man will keep me down…
