My current issue with job hunting seems to be getting my hopes up. As soon as I have what I think is a good lead, I'll begin to imagine being able to pay my bills and put money away into savings, thus being a responsible adult. Then I'll have to come back to my senses and realize that I'm still not possessed of legitimate employment and am instead working a ton of hours to make very little money. On the upside, this is allowing me to pay rent as opposed to begging from Aunt Mary. Unfortunately it's not doing so quite as well as a real job.

I wonder what it says that rather than daydreaming about the things I'd like to buy I'm now down to wistfully considering financial solvency.
