Sorry for the recent post shortage. I allowed myself to wallow in a bit of a funk for a few days there. As I often tend to do, I had unrealistically built up this job at the paper. I had thought I'd be working at least fifteen to twenty hours a week and would therefore only need to look for another job where I would work ten hours at most. But I wouldn't need to rush the search because this job would hold me through well enough until then. I bought a cell phone for the area. I had an apartment picked out. I was planning on joining a gym because they were running a special. I even thought that maybe this job was an audition for a bigger writing position. In my head, I was pretty hot shit. In reality, I'm just a schmuck working five hours a week writing for a paper that didn't even want references or a writing sample before agreeing to meet with me. So now I still need to find a real job. The apartment quest has been halted because I'm not even sure if my main job will be in this town, (though, I would like to keep my current job if my new location will permit it at all). I'm still better off than I was a month ago. Heck, the resumes I sent out last week are better than the ones I sent out before then because I have a real writing credential on them. I just wish I could make things progress quicker. I feel like Bob, babystepping my way through life. At least I'm getting somewhere.
I'm grateful for vanilla dunkaccinos (20).

I don't know what a vanilla dunkaccino is...could you find it online and link it for me, since I'm too lazy to look it up myself?
Sorry you've had a few down days. Just remember that this is progress, and more will come soon!
I actually had looked for it while I was writing the post. It's a Dunkin' Donuts coffee drink. I went to their horribly constructed website and couldn't find it within a few minutes and didn't really think it was worth the effort.
