Doubtless my mood is shot due to lack of sleep (woke at 3:30, couldn't get back) and also to needing to get my car fixed (won't start even when jumped; hope it's the starter and not the alternator, also not looking forward to getting it out of the Very Tight parkade). But.
Thank you for your interest in the position of GIS Specialist I.

We have reviewed your application carefully and have found that you were among those who possessed good qualifications. In final deliberation, however, it was decided that there were others whose qualifications and experience seemed more suitable for the duties of this position. Therefore, you have not been selected for an interview for the position of GIS Specialist I.

Good news: they got back to me at all, which puts them in the top ten percent of potential employers.

However. That's an intro-level position that I can't even get an interview for.

I try not to throw around words like 'hopeless' very often but I'm not coming up with other accurate ones.

Time to look into selling the condo and renting somewhere, I suppose.

Happy Canucksgiving. In light of a recent proclamation from the US Executive Office, do remember that Christopher Columbus is the second-most hated explorer of all time, behind only Internet Explorer.

I'm thankful that citizenship (and before that permanent residency) went through, and I can be unemployed and jobhunting and not have to worry quite so much about health care. I'm thankful for the roof over my head and for my mostly-full fridge and pantry, and for being surrounded by my books and games.

I'm thankful that I've made pies (different pies) for two separate Canucksgivings, yesterday and today. I'm thankful for my acquaintances and friends. I'm thankful that Erin is still talking to me, and for that relationship having had a solid positive impact on me being who I want to be.

I'm thankful for Stephanie, for having found / re-found someone whose flaws and insecurities can complement my own, rather than magnifying them and vice versa.

I'm thankful that after almost three years Mr Tuppert and I are getting along, and Establishing Routines. The last couple of months it's been "breakfast is a time for internet and scritches," which has been a good way to greet the morning.

Autumn grey and coolth have arrived. Time to drag the cold robot back into the storage room for another six months. Time to start baking again.

I'm still here. Next year maybe I can be thankful for that.
