Early entry today. Not likely to do a food journal today partly because today might be a cheat day and partly because Wife has the day off.

Just starting my work day. One of… two. Two work days this week. Maybe that is the reason the job hunt is getting me down. Maybe since I only work 12 hours a week now....

I look at the County Openings page and there are 7 openings, 6 of which I qualify for, 5 of which I was able to apply to before deadline, and only 1 of which I was interviewed for. Which means… I’ve only even been interviewed for twenty percent of the jobs I’ve applied to. I’ve applied to 83% of the jobs I qualify for. I look on the corporate attorney page… a page I don’t want to be on. There are twelve postings for the state of Iowa. Twelve! Most of those are “Buy my law firm” postings. Five of them are jobs even maybe worth considering. Only three of them in places Wife or I would be okay living in. So… death of the dream job, and I’m still only left with 3 options. I think it is fairly safe to say I’m getting disheartened.
