Yay for the 3rd unemployment extension!!! I am still applying for jobs every day, but I can breathe and try to come up with a new approach to this whole job thing. I have read that I have to be my own brand name - does that mean I have to come up with a logo and tag line and run an ad campaign? Dunno. I need to make my resume stand out from the crowd by downloading Acrobat 9. Done (trial only - can't afford the real deal). I definitely need to learn and become fluent in several other languages, pronto. I need to learn every software program ever written that I don't already know. There are a lot. I don't have them on my computer. Anyone got a full-on copy of Office I can steal? Illustrator? Dreamweaver? I need to buy a Blackberry and an iPhone and become proficient in their uses. I have never needed either a PDA or a cell phone, so don't have them. I DO facebook and twitter but don't Second Life (I didn't have the right video card when I tried it the first time). I don't play MMO games - I guess I have better freakin' start so I can work at those companies. Sigh.

A TASTE OF MONEY
