I didn't sleep well last night. I seldom do anymore. I am very worried about in spite of my best efforts, when I will land a "good job." I stay up late and watch "garbage" TV, and sleep till almost noon. My life right now reminds me of the Billy Joel song called "Allentown." He sings "..it's hard to keep a good man down but I won't be getting up today..." It's so depressing when the phone doesn't ring and when does it's nothing but "junk" calls..people with inappropriate jobs (financial sales) or surveys. I hope this is not the final act of my life...my career.

I made corrections on my EZLine Article, sent at thank you e-mail to one of my phone interview people from yesterday, reviewed results from my search agents and read my e-mails. One e-mail in particular caught my interest was from a woman with an MBA who has been an unemployed VP from Bank of America in LaGuna Beach, CA. and an newspaper comment by Mayor Daley that this recession cuts through all areas of the country , all industries and lines of work. Back in 1981, if things were slow here, you could go to Texas and try to find work. It's not that way anymore.

Nevertheless, I keep the faith and hope that tomorrow brings brighter prospects and a firm offer of employment. I must BELIEVE!

Until next time, remember me and all of your friends, neighbors and co-workers who are in transition that by the grace of God, we may all secure gainful employment sooner than later.
