Out of Work

Today is February 2nd, 2010. I started my first full-time job on February 4th, 2008. I was laid off January 30th, 2009. I have since been out of any full-time work. This is depressing to me, mostly because, while I was employed for almost a full year, that year was spent at a job that didn't add anything to my experience in my field of expertise. Which is what is keeping me from applying for any more administrative support jobs. I'm more than qualified to work them, I think. But what good will toiling away in an office working at a job I despise be when every day I'm there is a day in which, aside from a paycheck, I earn nothing. Sure, at this point I could really use a steady paycheck. Perhaps I'm being petty, too picky and narrow-sighted. But with 10%+ unemployment nationwide, I still feel like it is a better option for me to work my balls off on my portfolio and other creative endeavors to solidify my chances when (if) things start to turn around.

Also going to have to network my balls off.
