Unrealistic expectations

[splashdown]

At some of the places I did, at some of the places, the receptionists seemed to busy. A couple of them told me they'd put in a good word so I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'll try more tomorrow. My wife just got home and seems happy for once

 

excellent news...and keep it up. Job searches often take a long time and require extended effort. Make sure to keep calling back or emailing the hiring mananger. Persistence pays, my friend.

When you are unemployed, finding a job IS your job. The visible effort on your part is good. While it may take time for you to get interviews, if your wife sees that you are actually working very hard at this, her mood will improve significantly.

yeah, you might get some from your wife more often now.
