I have been applying for jobs like mad as of late, not even 1 interview. It has to be mentioned that I have a terrible work hisory: I quit so many jobs, just walked out of jobs, and am not a model employee. I cannot imagine any of my previous employers would say anything good about me if a prospective employer called (I was in sales mostly and did well at it, but beng bipolar caused soooo many fireworks). I also have things like DWIs against me -- and employers want to know that these days. On top of those things I am not driving right now because of a DWI, so that makes things that much more difficult.

I've even applied for jobs that I have no interest in, just to earn some income. I really had to swallow the ounce of pride I have left to do it (I have always made between 65 and 90K a year and the jobs I desperately applied for only pay the minimum). Yeah, I am really disgusted with all the idiotic things I've done. I wish I wasn't foolish, never did drugs or drank, and really wished I saved something to fall back on. I guess I am really saying that I don't see any light at the end of any tunnel.
