What Next?

Today began like any other day... with the realization that at some point I had to get off my lazy ass and get out of bed. Some days I wish I were a hermit, able to lay in my bed with some well selected snacks, a book, the tv remote, and my cell phone; unfortunately somehow between losing my first tooth and graduating from university, I grew up. With growing up comes responsibility, and with responsibility comes aches, pains and a whole lot of head aches.

I ended up dragging myself to work and dealing with the usual retail mumbo-jumbo all to make a measly $10.35/hr. No. I have not found a decent paying job upon graduation. Some people think that with two degrees and a teaching certificate - jobs just happen to fall in your lap; when realistically... two degrees and a teaching certificate are just the beginning of the never ending road of sheer frustration. Sure, sure, "be patient", everyone says.. "keep applying" ... the fact is that, no matter how many times I put an application out there.. I can't help but wonder if it just ends up somewhere in cyber space never to be read.

I really don't want to be in retail all my life, and even though I am only 22 and not ready to completely begin my career - I would like to be a supply teacher. Is that so much to ask?

Looks like I know what I am asking Santa for this year!
