Tonight for the first time (in this chapter) I feel like I have my shit in one sock.
I've completed two weeks worth of unemployment claims, though I haven't been paid for any of them, so I feel like I have a little rhythm for that process. And I have seventeen postings to apply for first thing in the morning. I have a cover letter I've been happy with in the past, updated with current dates and details. And importantly I've successfully bludgeoned my twin demons of perfectionism and completism into submission. I can, I HAVE, submitted applications that were imperfect and incomplete, so fuck you self destructive inner voice! I will crank out some more in the morning, and improve on the product ON THE WAY, AS I GO.. Yes, I shout at myself sometimes.

Don't forget the winter you danced for Chippendales in your resume, it will make them curious and you seem exotic.

this was Monday.  ^^^ this was Tuesday. Today was *one* application submitted. Computer problems, o so many computer problems, just... eliminated my momentum. But! I have now overcome (this most recent wave of) them, so tomorrow... we'll see. Of the previously noted seventeen, I eliminated three off the top--really not qualified. And in another spasm of seeking found another fourteen, one of which has been: Application Submitted! Successfully submitted on 2/05/2020 at 9:17 PM Pacific You can check the status of this application by visiting "Applications" in the main menu bar. Good night all.
