I've been applying for about 10 different jobs a day, on average, and I've only received about two or three replies that have seemed promising. If there's a God, he definitely doesn't want me to fly overseas and be happy for once. Of course, even if there was, I couldn't blame him for all my ills, because they're all self-caused? Car accidents and repair costs notwithstanding? Maybe?
Although, all this abundant free time allows me to catch up on my writing, my reading and my Mad Men watching. I really hope they make more of this thoroughly brilliant series. It's cerebral, it's visceral and it's got really, really hot women in lead roles. How I pine for the early '60s...
Chuck has been entertaining (with obligatory arse-kicking hot girl in lead role - what's not to like) if not a complete ripoff of Reaper with a slicker, "spy vs. spy" dramatic edge. I'm also really into the "Quack Experimental Anime" Excel Saga at the moment... What's it like? I guess you'll just have to see for yourself.
As for my oft-garbled state of mind? Well, this song kind of sums it up at the moment:
Jesus died and God's gone missing / Take your skin off it might fit me now
Love is dead and you're so pretty, baby / You still need my hands to feel
You still need my heart to bleed / 'Cause your lips taste just like money
(Kent - Just Like Money)

Oh stop being so self-absorbed. "God doesn't want me to be happy." "You slaughtered my family." "I spilt my milk because it was someone else's fault."
Take responsibility. =P
It's hard for quite a few people to find a job right now. God's sitting this one out; it's up to us to fix the problem this time. And excuses don't solve problems, they just label accountability and help the naive sleep at night.
Worst case scenario: Maccas for now until you find something better.
Well, to be truthful, I've even tried jobs like that and I've found nothing. All I can do is keep trying though.
I don't believe in God, but people blame "him" for stuff all the time, so I thought I might try it to. I know I'm the only one responsible for my actions.
Remember: there's responsibility and accountability.
Make sure you identify responsibility.
People have a terrible tendency to identify accountabilty elsewhere, and use that as an excuse to do nothing.
"Oh, it's not my fault, they spilt the milk, so why should I clean it up?"
You clean it up because it's your kitchen and it's irrelevant who spilt it: the job needs to be done in order to keep the kitchen clean. If the kitchen is a mess, so is everything else.
Probably a bad analogy.
When in doubt, take any job you can get (low standards = income) and then work your way up to a better job. If you can't pay the bills today, you can forget about looking for a job tomorrow.
God doesn't like it when people jump on the bandwagon. It's how his only son died. Remember that.
You will get here, I know you will. I think our combined bad luck must cancel each other out... or make it twice as bad?
I dunno, all I do know is that my logic is flawless and I have (semi) faith in the system.

But don't forget false logic...
But don't forget that there is no god.
Isn't this Tom's blog? Doesn't that make him self-absorbed in itself? I mean, I thought blogging was a way to get out all of your personal thoughts and feelings, no matter how silly they may be?
I atleast have enough faith in Tom to know that he is going to do whatever it takes to get to where he needs to be in life. But at the same time he has every right to bitch and moan on his own website.
But, I don't know, I may be wrong...
I think you make excellent points! Don't ever let Crushdor down. You can give him something I never could. I'm a name who hassles him, that's all I am.
I have faith in him. I just like a devil's advocate approach.
And isn't god in the eye of the beholder?
