licensed and all--but jobless

I jut realized the other day that inactivity breeds vitriol in my system. I suppose it's stupid that I only realized that now when it's been happening more or less my whole life, but there you go. Still better late than never, I say.

Inasmuch as I am a solitary creature by nature, being alone with my thoughts for too long starts corrupting my mind. Paranoia comes creeping in and starts insidiously twisting the multitude ideas in my head, often resulting in depression and a lot of imagined slights against me. The negativity just festers there and corrupts even the good thoughts. Not a good thing, whichever way you look at it.

It doesn't really help that I have loads and loads of free time right now. Being jobless sucks, although I do not regret my decision to resign from my last job.

I don't know about you guys, but I was raised to believe that finishing college [and passing the Board exam in my case] is my ticket to a good job and a good life after school. And after doing both... Ta-da! Reality check. Getting a decent job when you're a fresh grad is not easy. Even if you've got a professional license. More than once, I've been tempted to apply for a call center job just for the sake of having a job. No offense to those working in the BPO industry. It's just that going to all that trouble with a five-year course and a board exam and ending up with a job not using any of it is pretty hard on the ego. On that note, I would just like to clarify that my gig at Nu Skin is NOT a job and is something I'd continue doing when I get another job.

Oh well. Enough of my incoherent ramblings. Something will come along. Something always does.

And another thing, CONGRATULATIONS TO MY COUSIN KATHERINE A. DIOMAMPO FOR PASSING THE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIST LICENSURE EXAMINATIONS SEPTEMBER 2008!
