Preoccupied and lazy

Well so much for posting every day. Since I last posted, I've applied for a bunch of jobs in NYC, LA and Ann Arbor. I attempted to file for unemployment in NYC, but it's caught up in red tape thanks to a data entry error from someone at my last job. I registed at a temp agency and I'm doing a two week data entry assignment at an office near where I live. The easy commute has already spoiled me rotten. And despite my promise that I was leaving IRB forever, I applied for a job at the IRB office at Children's Hospital LA. They interviewed me last week. I think it went OK, but probably talked too much about UCLA. Also, I really blew the question on what my mission/purpose is in pursuing further IRB work. I haven't heard back yet, nor have my references been contacted so I think I can forget about this job. MOre proof that I really should leave IRB forever.

Hopefully I can get another assignment from my agency for next week. If not, I 'll register at another agency to broaden my prospects. I think I'm going to be temping for some time. The hoops one has to jump through these days to get a job.
