Today has to be the worst day thus far in terms of job searching. There's been nothing posted today thus far. I applied to another job that is part time and below what I need but I feel compelled to at least apply for the jobs just for the sake of applying.

I got a letter in the mail yesterday from the state unemployment office and the amount of money I get is a joke. Well, the good news is I qualify for the most the state will hand out. The bad news is that amounts to less than a month's mortgage payment for a month! This is ridiculous.

There was something that made me laugh and it was posted on craigslist...

You visit CL, week after week
Searching the list, for a job that you seek
And line after line, a true job you scour
What is this? A web design job for $10 an hour?

$10 an hour, maybe I'll call
But I could make more this, working at the mall
Four years of training, and hitting the books
$10 an hour?, these employers are crooks

But wait an internship, working for free
A full time position, a sure possibility
But only after, I've put in 6 months
Working for free, and paying for lunch

My web career, I had such high hopes
Building a business, learning the ropes
Thanks Craig's List, I think I'll retire
Back to the mall, Verizon will hire
