Unemployed, re-employed, anxious, scared and more

So, since my previous post, I've been offered, and accepted, a new job.

Like a dog returning to its vomit, it's another newspaper job.

And, it's Tuesday-Saturday (for now) hours.

It keeps me employed, so no blank spots on the resume, and no need to have to face age discrimination issues. (As I have before ... albeit, in the newspaper industry.)

It's closer to Dallas, the closest thing to a home in the adult world for me.

And, I'm afraid again of getting trapped. I know the non-media world just doesn't get it when they see lots of movement on a resume. Fuckers.

In fact, I feel the trapped feeling now, as the first full week of work starts. I'll survive, yes. Probably a bit more anxiety-scarred.

And, with another scattershot resume entry that will look like a black mark to non-newspaper job offerers. Yes, I can try to spin "resilience" up somewhere in the objective area, or maybe in a cover letter. But ...

That likely won't help a lot.

And, knowing that won't help me a lot.

More later ...
