Can work, will travel

Though emotionally in a better condition, financially my life is still very much in ruins. I need to find a job. I need to make money so I can go crazy and indulge in life's little luxuries such as electricity bill, food and a bus fare. 

I can't even remember all the jobs I've applied for (as for the number of applications, we're in three-digits now...). Some of them even I don't think I'm qualified for. But hey presto, I have a job interview for one of those this afternoon- so fingers crossed. It's another EU- funded 13-month project, exporting my country's vocational training expertise to North Africa. That's something I know nothing about to a region I don't like. What do you know. But hey ho, fingers crossed. There's also an opening at one of the NGOs where I did one of those internships so on all accounts I should be more than ideal choice. Fingers crossed for that one too then!

I am feeling a little more hopeful now. We might only be halfway through the winter, but there's a definite spring in my steps...!

And as far as the job market goes... maybe I have hidden talents I've yet to capitalize on the way these individuals have done. Perhaps I have what it takes to be the next great MILF commander, bride kidnapping expert or shredded cheese authority? 

Desperate times call for desperate measures... But... how desperate? How much longer before I have to resort to something like this?
