Friends are Useful Things to Keep

This past week I have been finding some new, entertaining things to watch on YouTube. Not important what they are, and I guess they are not new; just new to me. They all have one thing in common though; friends working together.So many ideas are only made reality because of friends working together to bring one person's idea(s) to the world. I wonder what will be made next?

Looking Forward

I think we can agree it is nice to see this past week end and a new begin.

That was Awkward

Pretty sure I've mentioned before that I'm unemployed currently, but I just did in case I haven't, so, moving on.
Be sure to read things thoroughly! I saw two job postings for writing positions at a company I believe I would enjoy working at and I was kind of excited. Then when I actually sat down to apply and started looking over things again I realized they were only freelance positions. Not what I'm looking for, and even if they were, I doubt they would pay enough for me to move the over four hundred mile distance. So remember to read things carefully the first time!
This other experience of mine was also awkward. At what point is someone no longer a 'recent graduate?' Well, according to one company it is one year because when I tried to fill out the recent grad information, it only allowed the graduation date to be a year old. I consider myself a recent grad even after two years though because I've not been able to find employment since then, so the most recent thing is my graduation. Just had to apply a different way, but it still is weird to face something telling me I'm not a recent graduate anymore, even though it best describes my level of experience.

Is It Really a Virtue?

What is 'it' is likely what you are wondering, assuming you are reading this. In this case, I am referring to persistence, a quality some say is a good thing to have, depending on how it is used of course. For example, some say that being persistent about getting a job is a good thing, because it shows your interest. What if the employer is busy though and hasn't any openings at the moment? Will that persistence be remembered in the future? I don't know, but I'd like to.

That's one kind of persistence, but here's another; this blog. Every week I have written something for this and posted it, however even a cursory glance at the stats reveals that barely anyone reads this, and those that do, I do not know. Is that a good kind of persistence? Is it good to share a piece of my mind with so few strangers? I hope so, because I'm probably going to keep doing it, so let's all hope my life does not persist to be uninteresting.
