I found out yesterday that I didn't get a job I really wanted, which was the first ever paid job in my field for which I was offered an interview. (I know there is probably much, much more of this to come, but I am fed up all the same!) I am feeling worried that it just won't work out for me. I am also feeling sad because I have made no new friends in a new city and am struggling to find new people for non-Skype human interaction. So I'm feeling pretty glum, though I usually feel quite good about myself and my prospects. I keep seeing people I know doing exciting, career-enhancing things in interesting places. I think I understand how you feel - being bothered by other people's achievements even though they are not what you want for yourself, and not totally understanding why it gets to you - I don't think of myself who compares myself to other like that but here I am! Anyway, your blog cheered me up :) It's good to know other people feel like this sometimes. (I went to a few Rocky Horror themed nights thinking I looked amazingly sexy too! I didn't. Still fun though!)Vanessanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452192909682225404.post-37224591061711492902012-09-25T13:37:43.346-07:002012-09-25T13:37:43.346-07:00We did make leaps, didn't we?

And I am hugely envious of the security and stability that represents, despite having a career job that I love, and a mortgage. *sigh*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
