My mother gave me this advice, as we were discussing the job search:
"Don't be a bitch."
Point one: my mom just swore. Point two: it was in the form of advice. I don't think she was trying to imply anything, either.... that leaves me about 100% confused.
Looking for a job is making me really crazy. Luckily, it's Home Shopping Network Appreciation Week (so a friend tells me - thanks!). So make sure you get out there and celebrate. Raise your glass to those who bring you a 4-hour show on fake Cubic Zirconia jewelry, take a few moments to appreciate the phone operators who answer desperate late-night calls from women up far too late in New Jersey, callers whose grapplings at self-worth-through-purchasing-power seep through the airwaves in a spectacle of sparkling despair (yours for only 3 ValuPays of $59.99). Admire the models who patiently and graciously model hoisery designed to prevent varicose veins. Let yourself believe, for a moment, the vaseline-smiled hosts whose all-accepting tones bathe you in warm enthusiastic product endorsement. This is what it means to live in America; the opportunity to not only buy a 14K white gold tanzanite ring (we only have 24 of these left, now) ... but to believe that by purchasing it we can tabulate it into our own self-worth.
