Year Anniversary

Well, I passed my "1 year unemployed" anniversary last week. I'm pretty depressed about it, although I do have a beautiful baby and a consulting gig to show for my time. Nevertheless, I really wanted to find gainful employment before I was unemployed for a whole year, it was kind of a deadline that I set in my brain. Of course, I did end up turning down the job offer that I got for a position in the Poconos, so I supposed I *could* have been employed if I could have accepted the position and therefore I shouldn't feel so bad about this. But, in a perfect world, I'd be settled into my Assistant Director position in a mid-sized biotechnology company helping to create a vaccine to treat and prevent cancer by now. SIGH.
