I need to vent.

Custom

This is a vent:

I am so tired of firing applications into the void. I'm tired of texting and calling friends if they have any leads. I'm especially tired of my parents telling me to keep at it I'll find something. I've found jobs. I've applied. Hell since the day I got my pink slip to now I've applied to over 600 jobs. 600! I've almost gotten hired 10 times been hired once and then fired in a week because they couldn't be bothered to try and make reasonable accomodation. (Already trying to find a lawyer but because it was contract work it is hard)

How is being unable to drive such a turn off for office and desk work. Me resume and experience proves that I have the skills to work in most fields abstractly related to my degree. I've built and programmed hundreds of thousands of dollars in custom machinery. I've designed software that is critical to the manufacturing of products used in 190+ countries. And fucking hotel janitor jobs won't even take me. It's nearing the holiday season and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get turned down for the seasonal work I've applied to is gonna turn me down.

Half of the jobs I can do are out of range for me because last I checked (state regulations) I legally can't get a liscence and because I can't do that some jobs won't even look at me even if I don't need a liscence in their job descriptions. I don't even mention that till offer letters are out and then all of a sudden it's nope sorry no offer anymore.

Ugh it feels so hopeless. I can just move to an area with work because we bought a house last year and that'd be an even bigger loss of money on top of loosing friends and family. I never liked this nation but I'm liking it a lot less now.
