So here I am, home from the job fair. As I feared, it was mostly pointless. I gave out some resumes and have a few other places where I should fill out online apps, but really, no one was interested in someone with a library/archives background. There were several child care type places and I spoke / left my resume with a few of them because they seemed to offer better pay/benefits, but I'm not seriously interested in getting a different child care job, so it was pretty much a bust.

My feet held up well in my Pointy Torture Shoes, so that was a good thing - no rubbed raw skin at all, although after the two hours I managed, the balls of my feet were screaming in agony. Still, if nothing else, I think I pulled off a fairly professional look.

I could change and go in to work for the rest of the afternoon, but they're not expecting me, and I seriously don't want to. So hey, an afternoon off for me. Yays!

That job in North Dakota that I didn't apply to months ago has been posted again. I'm more desperate this time, so since I actually have a functional resume, and Grand Forks is a much more appealing place than some of the towns I've been considering lately, I suppose I'll apply for this one.

I'm in a much better mood than I was earlier. Just because there were no jobs at the job fair doesn't mean there are no jobs. I just need to be more aggressive about finding and applying for them.

In a completely random change of topic, I've started watching Grey's Anatomy. The first five episodes came yesterday via Netflix. For the most part I really liked it - I seem to be a sucker for the medical shows, and of course, Patrick Dempsey doesn't hurt. I'm not sure I really like Meredith Grey - she's a bit whiney and pouty, but I like Katherine Heigl (I didn't know she was on the show, but it's good timing, having just finished Roswell), and George and Izzy are fun together. So I'll be getting more of that soon.
