I am not expecting to get a reply from anyone, but damn, I am exhausted.

1. What kind of attitude is that?
Chin up. "Whether you think you can or you can't you're right." Henry Ford 1903. And when those don't work send out 43 more. Best of luck in your endeavor. And let us know how the search goes.

3. Hi Sannum
Let me offer another hokey saying. American ends with I CAN.

I'm fifty one years old, retired, and sitting on my ass trying to encourage you to be all you can be. I was just swift enough at an early age to grab the gusto and start working on a nest egg like an aggressive mocking bird. To coin the vernacular of a generation removed - YOU GO GIRL.....

4. Good luck. I have been sending mine out a lot lately too
with few replies. Its disheartening, isn't it? Especially when the ones you do get interviews for go to people with connections but fewer qualifications than yourself.

My present job can be described as nothing short of soul-crushing. *sigh*
