I ended up sending an email to my two main professors from the grad program. One of them agreed to go through his mental rolodex for any jobs I am interested in and see if he has any contacts there. If so, he said he&#8217;d be happy to write a letter\/make a phonecall of introduction, so that&#8217;s nice at least.<\/p>\n<p>Today I applied for a job shipping packages for a local chocolate company, applied for a job as a senior analyst for an energy efficiency nonprofit, and showed up for my first temp agency posting. Such is mi vida loca these days.<\/p>\n<p>The temp agency thing is a three day thing staffing the check-in table at a local business expo. It&#8217;s more of a business-to-business type thing, but they said they&#8217;ll let us walk around the exhibitors hall for a while if we want, so I&#8217;m bringing some resumes just in case. Also a guy I&#8217;ve been connected with that might throw some consulting work my way will be there, so I&#8217;ll get to introduce myself to him too.<\/p>\n<p>But really. I need structure. I need at least a few definitives in my professional life. I&#8217;d like that to start soonish rather than laterish.<\/p>\n<p>All is not hopeless, last post notwithstanding. I just really want stuff to start happening soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A heartfelt thanks to both Kate and Jenn who offered words of support after my admittedly-pathetic last post.
