Hi I'm wondering if I should comment , because clearly my last attempt to be supportive had quite the opposite for which I am truly sorry. However, I have been thinking about your posts/replies so what the heck.
1. Whine away. LJ posting is very cathartic and free. Post early, post often ;-)
2. You were talking about taking a Saturday job. I know the job market sucks everywhere, but if you do go that route and have a choice, I'd suggest aiming for somewhere with a positive working environment i.e. some place where people go to have fun like a cafe or cinema, or even a museum and maybe the good vibes will rub off.
3. This is probably hugely unrealistic in the current climate (and feel free to throw a verbal rock at me for suggesting it) but, if your current job doesn't pay enought to keep body and soul together and you aren't enjoying it, can you find another job? That might be something where the pay still sucks but would at least give you job satisfaction ... though obviously a better paid job would be ideal. What do you need to change/add to your cv to be able to get such a job and is that achievable?
no subject
