Woe is me, blah blah blah
I just got passed over for a job I really wanted because they said I was "perfect, but too perfect." Overqualified. Don't you think that if a person WANTS to do entry level work and is excited to be working for the company they've always dreamed about, you should let them!? I don't think that's selling myself short - I think it's a strategic career move, and it shows persistence and sacrifice. Aren't those things you'd want in an employee!?!
I don't want to "dumb down" my resume, but I'm thinking I might try it for a few submissions...I thought a Masters degree would be an asset, but apparently it makes me look pretentious and snooty.
Anyone out there want to sponsor this blog, so I can live off of it and quit my crappy job??
Anyway...still have a LOT of work to do to get off the "3" pounds I gained over the weekend, and I put that number in parentheses because I know some of it is water weight...still daunting to see though. Went to the gym last night and stayed on the precor until my back started hurting (about 25 min), then walked some stairs and did some weights, but my back hurts pretty bad lately (definitely from sitting 7 hours in the car Sat and Sun).
Dinner out tonight with a friend, but I'm going to behave myself, and we'll be doing some walking. Book club meeting tomorrow night...planning to eat at home, then try not to touch a thing at the meeting (excluding alcohol!).
BUT the most exciting thing about tomorrow is that I'm working from home, so I can get up early and walk the beach! Yay! There's nothing better than starting your day with sunshine and fresh ocean air. 
And after that...the job search and food struggle continues for another day.
