I Did Good!
I hit three hospitals and the New York State Department of Psychiatry on Riverside Dr at Columbia University Hospital, where I WAS BORN. SYNCHRONICITY!! The hospitals seemed less likely since the Social Worker market is so cornered and my profession's niche isn't carved out yet in this state. But I met a lot of the requirements at several research positions through the Dept of Psych. I applied to seven positions!! One or two of the positions were called "Scientist"! Bwa! Ain't that a hoot? I could be a scientist!

Home Sick
Sick of workin' in Trenton!!

I can't spend too much time blogging this morning. I will when I return. But I've got to get my feet out on these streets and find a NYC job. Last night, I went on Monster and found a good 18 leads which I sent my resume to. So far, all my internet correspondences have ended up as auditions for a cricket chorus. I'd like to see if EIGHTEEN will be similarly ignored. Granted, some of those leads asked for slightly more qualifications than I had, but I'm in scam-busting mode. If I get no answers whatsoever, then Monster.com is a SCAM as far as I'm concerned.

Apart from that, I'm going to every hospital on my list. They have partial treatment and counseling programs. There are also some counseling firms in the city. I'm licensed in Jersey, but I can still do the work here and get paid on a sliding scale--that is, without insurance. Heck, I'd take $20/hour--why not? I'm not getting that now. And how many people in need would love to only pay that much for their therapists?

I neglected to tell you, dear readers, that I had a temper tantrum at work on Friday. I asked my supervisor when she wantd me to hand her my resignation. She's relentless in her pursuit of my work. She has no internal gauge of a little thing called a Tolerance Level. She pushes me and my staff over ours nearly every day.

Little people are anxious. It's like they have a six-foot-tall person's energy compacted down into their little bodies, and like super balls, they explode with power when they bounce. Almost every short person I know is hyper. I challenge you to find one who is not. Hey, I'm only 5'7" myself (although a friend or two would begrudge me even that--but I am strong like bull!) so I have no hate on for the vertically challenged. But all the girls I've dated who were shorter than me? Wore me out.

And so does my supervisor.

Check you later with a report of Finding A Job In The Big City.
