My Life of Late: From Unemployed to Overemployed

I have somehow managed to go from scraping by and wallowing in self-pity to having too many jobs. Not that I'm complaining, but I have been extraordinarily busy. I've hopped on the barista bandwagon and am working at Beny's Delice in Fort Greene. So far it's going well and no one has complained that their cappuccino is actually a latte, yet.

I'm also working on a couple freelancing projects, and I hope to keep doing more. Luckily one of them--a gig at Paper & String--might turn into a full-time job (fingers crossed)! Paper & String sends out weekly newsletters about different neighborhoods in New York, so sign up for your favorites. I'm going to start writing the Williamsburg newsletter, so any suggestions about your favorite Williamsburg spots and events would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also working on an article about urban farming for The Park Slope Reader, which has been rather fascinating, so check back for a link to that once it's done. Until then, wish me luck making it through the week without any days off.

My Life of Late: Concluding Self-Worthlessness + Not Trying Harder

I am currently dog walking, tutoring, volunteering, and etsying.

Question of the day: how old will I be when I have my first real job?

Jon singing me "Nothing Gets Crossed Out" by Bright Eyes. In his words, "not very deep, but very relatable." (Note the title. I am obsessed with making lists, if you haven't noticed).

Misery Loves Company & Coffee Shops

Being with friends who are also unemployed and/or completely apprehensive about the future makes the job search slightly less painful. That is all the insight I have on that. Now back to Craigslist.

Sarah Needs a Job

I saw this about a year ago in Williamsburg. Thinking this might be my next approach.

Anyone want to hire me? I will

1. Walk your dog
2. Write you poetry
3. Burp your babies
4. Make you lemonade
5. Paint your house
6. Pet your head

My Life of Late: Sleep Deprivation + Encroaching Unemployment

Things That Are Wrong:

1) Writing complete sentences feels burdensome

2) T-2 days until unemployment

3) Job search sucking out my soul

4) Leg cramp indicative of unknown vitamin deficiency

5) Societal notion of success too deeply ingrained in my brain.
