417 days
It has been 417 days since I moved back in with my parents after officially separating from my wife.
I have only been employed for a total of six weeks during these past 417 days; including a 3-week stint working on an independent film last September and a 3-week seasonal position at an Amazon fulfillment center.
I have had 27 in person job interviews, at least a dozen phone interviews, and even one Skype job interview but not a single job offer to come of it. That translates to roughly one job interview every two weeks. And I’m not even counting the dozen & a half career fairs I’ve attended.
I have roughly $6k in debt, which doesn’t seem like a lot in this day & age, but it might as well be millions of dollars when you don’t have a job or even own a car anymore. And the hill you are climbing just keeps getting taller each day.
And I haven’t had sex in about 16 months. And the GOP are literally destroying this country and trying to destroy the entire world, so maybe my problems aren’t much in the grand scheme of things.
But I’m still here and trying. And maybe before you get to the “living well is the best revenge” part you have to muddle through just living.
