The Search Continues

I suppose it's no large surprise that no one is hiring, but I'm not giving up.  Monster is about to take out a restraining order on me for stalking the website so much.  I'm trudging on and not giving up on my going nowhere career search.

I'm starting to become irritable at work.  Our intern asks at least a million questions a day and I'm sure I was like that when I first started, but he is annoying.  He's also going into the theater and he just seems so damn happy all the time.  He is less than two years younger than me and I am annoyed by his immaturity and bright eyes looking out at the world.  It sickens me.  It could be jealousy, but I'm pretty sure that I was never that happy go lucky in my entire life.  Again, could be jealousy, but I think he's just obnoxious.

I've always been the glass is half empty frame of life, but lately I would just call the glass empty.  I have no idea what kind of career I should be searching for.  I've been applying for similar jobs which seems stupid. I don't want to jump into the same job in a different location.  I am good at my job, but that doesn't mean I love it.  Do you just continue doing something you're good for the simple fact that you're good at it?  Do you decide that it's best to go into a business that involves your hobbies and/or interests?  It's confusing and I know it's silly, but I feel like 25 is too old to making a career change.  It scares me to start all over.  I envy those people who at 5 knew what they wanted to do and stuck with it forever and were happy doing it.

The one thing I am sure of is that moving to New York City is something that I would love to do.  The energy and culture of the city are extraordinary.  I don't think it's the place that I could live forever, but it is something I would like to take the leap and try.  I've been applying for jobs there and I haven't received a single response.  My resumé is pretty good so I find it interesting that I haven't received a response.  Maybe it's just because I'm out of state or maybe it's that my resumé isn't that great.  I have enough money saved up to move without a job secured, but it terrifies me to do that.  I'm obviously too much of a planner.
