Looking back and looking forward
The problem, when I spend so much time playing around with web design, is that I don't spend any time actually posting to the pages themselves. I think I'm finally content (for now) with the weblog design again, and the archives are finally finished. The other thing I added is a section on the sidebar that links to journal entries on this day in past years. I'm pretty proud of myself on that one, it uses a couple of MT plugins and I learned how to set up a cron job on my Dreamhost account, so it all automatically updates.
I'm glad to have something to be proud of. I'm getting a little discouraged on the job hunt again. I haven't heard anything from my interview a week and a half ago, and my representative at that particular temp agency hasn't returned any of the messages I've left for her. I'm starting to feel supremely unemployable. I know, I know. The economy sucks and nobody's hiring, hang in there. I know. That doesn't make it any less frustrating.
In converting my old journal entries over to MT, I wound up rereading several of them. It's amazing how many times my life has taken a left turn and taken me somewhere I never thought I'd be. I'm not entirely sure why I'm making any plans for the future at all, because things never turn out that way. ;) Oh well, as long as I end up somewhere I'm happy, right? That much, at least, I feel assured of.
