Desperate times

Wow. Ten whole days without a nugget (thanks for reminding me, anonymous). I feel all plugged up. I need an cognitive enema, mui subido.

Blame it on the job hunt, which consumes whatever spare time I have. I wasn't kidding when I said my job sucks ass, but looking for a new one might actually be worse. My fear is that, deep down, I'm really just lazy -- too lazy to give a new job a fair shot. I find it much easier to bitch and make excuses.

Even when I find a position of interest, I manage to talk myself out of applying for the job. Too much work. Not enough work. Not enough money. Too close to what I do now.

So here I am. It's been a month and I've yet to apply for a single position. Of course, it took me three weeks just to update my resume; even so, I just browse the same search engines and websites day in and day out, with all the enthusiasm of a cat stretched out on it's back, pawing listlessly at its own tail.

Sigh.

Sorry readers, but the light posting is likely to continue until the situation is resolved. Particularly since I have to endure a wretched two-day office retreat (blech) later this week. To reward myself for good behavior, I'll subsequently be leaving town for several days. Destination: No computer.

In the meantime, I'll do my best, although I can't make any promises.

Nugs and kisses.
