Ok, not really. But you have applied for 42 jobs. Here's some more employment math: You've received two nice rejection emails, one rejection phone call, and zero interviews. It's like a countdown, except at the end, instead of a rocket taking off, you have a cocktail.
Did you know that all the fixings for turkey sandwiches for every meal for one week are only $13? Also, if you feel guilty stealing the internet at a coffee shop without buying anything, the cheapest drink is generally a small iced tea. And you won't run out of gas driving across town with the needle below empty.
And no matter how much debt in graduate student loans you carry, you still aren't qualified to work at the make-up counter at Macy's. Not even as the person who takes the inventory.
But you're alive. You're alive, and you have some amazing friends and family. So there's that. At least there's that.
Now I have the song stuck in my head.... Hang in there.
