I really need for things to go for well for me again, starting pretty damn soon (at least before the end of the month, when the bills are due, anyway). Hopefully, they will. I am tired of working really hard, slogging against the tide and getting nowhere (or at least feeling like I am), of not reaching the goals I need to reach in time and being treated like the bad guy because I'm doing my best but my best simply isn't good enough to bring home the bacon.

Tonight, I updated my profile and the copy of my CV on file on one of the many job-posting sites that I frequent. I then applied to at least five positions that are to do with software/Web development, or are at least IT-related. Hopefully, at least one of those will lead to an interview and then my earning an income. Until then, how much I get done and how many applications I submit doesn't really matter.

I've barely made inroads into the backlog of emails sitting in my inbox (of which I get maybe thirty a day, or so it seems) and I'll probably be wading through those for a while yet. I at least feel like I'm doing something positive and making a worthwhile effort to get on top of my employment situation (rather than it on top of me). While I'd like to be able to move faster and get more done per day, I think this is a good start and it may eventually get to a point where I'm getting through my emails faster than they pile up. Persisting might eventually pay off.

At any rate, even though I'm going slowly, this is good. Long may it last, although hopefully not longer than a month; I'm still going to need some income at the end of it and the sooner I find something that helps with that, the better.

I didn't get a chance to do my twenty-five searches on Presearch today, but that will have to come at some other point in the week/month, because of priorities. It's not like I am just a few away from one thousand anyway.

At what point I'm going to have to chop off the face fuzz, I don't know. It is looking somewhat unkempt. That, however, is a priority for another day ...

Now, it's time for me to head to bed in the hope I'll get enough sleep to be able to repeat the process tomorrow. Exactly when I'll have the time and energy to learn the MEARN stack and blockchain development (never mind all the other things that I want to), I don't know, but I'd best not waste the precious little time and opportunities that I do still have.

Snark out!
