I want to say I’m sorry for being in a perpetual downer recently. I’m just so frustrated with job hunting at the moment, it’s really not helping constantly being turned down. I know there will be light at the end of the tunnel but boy it’s degrading right now. I don’t mind so much at the shop work, though the game store job would have been awesome, it’s the graphics/designer ones that are pulling me under in a sea of gloom. I mean how crushing is it despite having lots of design degrees you slaved your arse off for (and put yourself in dept for) and 5 years actual experience in design to be told you’re TOO experience or NOT experience enough *heads desk* 

I’d be happy to just make cups of tea all day if it got my foot in the door. 

So sorry I’m being very boring and morose lately. One day I’ll get my huge crack comment war with my friends instead of scaring them off *hugs*

Don't apologize for being down. D8 Especially not about something as stressful as job hunting. (I totally get you. It's really hard to find a job here that isn't super-fast turnover like McDonalds.. You pretty much have to have a friend who has a friend.)

Just keep trying. ^^ I'm sure you'll eventually find something! (If you're hurting for money you could always do commissions for fangirls.. @__@ They pay much money for art.. I've known some people whose stuff looks like crap who have gotten $20-30 a picture, and if they can get so much with such underdeveloped skills, I bet you could do really well for yourself~)

Jobs and stuff.. it's all about networking. Networking in real life, networking on the internet.. I totally feel you stress, man. It's the same kind of stress I have. -_-; But hey, good things happen to those who try their best and are patient.

I'm saying sorry because I think I'm losing friends over my being down, okay I KNOW I'm losing friends over it. That's why I have to say sorry so people know I'm not like that always, alas just sometimes I let things get to me.

Your right about a friend who is a friend thing, my best friends have landed great jobs because of who they know and I'm really struggling. I'll keep at it though as there is no way in hell I'm working in McDonalds *shudders*

I'd love to do the commission thing but I really don't think anyone would pay me. I also have a terrible habbit of doing stuff for free, especially for friends as I'd feel bad charging. I guess that's something I should get over and try :D

Thanks ♥
