Woe is me.

Alas, this job search is bleek. In the past ten days, I've sent at least ten emails, resumes, applications to places that have posted positions available and have received nothing back. Absolutely nothing. Not even a "Sorry, the job's been filled" or a "You're not not qualified". I'm convinced that my gmail is plotting my demise and not sending them out. Either way, it blows. Maybe they're just taking forever to get to it... or are waiting to get other applicants before contacting me. Oh well, crap I say.

And recently I've needed a new gig more than ever. Since Sears is trying to fire me I had zero ours this week. Then I got scheduled for a day I'm not even available and when I said something my boss got defensive with me about his mistake. I guess I should be happy since I do have some hours this week... but I hate being there so much that any happiness over the possibility of making money is drowned by the overwhelming urge to burn the place down.

However, at our SAI community service yesterday Nicole helped me realize the possibilities of other career ideas.

• Become a psychic lady. This profession can be quite promising in these economic times. Many people are seeking "answers" and I am more than willing to make up these things. However, I think that if I were to do the next thing, that I could even have a better chance at making it in the psychic lady business.
• Find a really big tree and inhabit it. I will live off of the land around my tree home. After spending years absorbing the knowledge of its woodiness, I would then start my psychic lady business and people would come from miles away to hear the "Psychic Tree Lady".
• Next, would be to figure out how to power everything with water. Cars, Electricity, Twitter, you know... the important stuff. Luckily, with global warming there's an abundance of water, so no biggie there. And viola, world=solved. After this monumental discovery, The Discovery channel will create a show about me... called "Erica Solves the World".
• Another good idea would be to become a super hero that saves puppies that have been kicked and rightfully punish all puppy-kickers. Of course, the Animal Planet would then create a show and I'd have a sidekick and a big van to carry around the criminals.

Those were the highlights and I plan on researching then and writing up a business plan on what will become the most profitable. Until then, good day to you.
