Writer's block sucks. Brain block sucks worse. Being without a job soon is really gonna suck too. Ten fucking years. /-:

This moment of self-pity brought to you by thousands of unemployed squirrels with no wheels to turn.

I'm so sorry you're having a lousy time with it. *hugs* What's getting to you about it--is it tedious or stressful, or both? None of the jobs I've ever had ever engaged me intellectually, so then I went back to school, which I figured on doing anyway.

But I moved to this area to go to school without knowing anyone here, and this program is way too competitive and fragmented to find community in (I think that tends to be the case in most PhD granting humanities programs, but this one at U of Maryland is particularly bad)--and I'm not the kind of person who can thrive on isolation, so I wasn't well set up for this venture.

So I may be on the job hunt soon--I'm hoping that work outside academia in the DC area might turn up something interesting for my skills, unlike what I could find in North Carolina.
