Lately, things are off

I’m sure it’s just me, actually, I know it’s just me. I’ve just graduated after a long two years, my job hasn’t paid me, and now I’m searching for new employment.
While I have been looking for more gainful employ for some time, it kind of takes on a new importance when you don’t have anything currently. I’m pretty sad about that since I did like my job, but if the state doesn’t pay them, they can’t pay me. Silly bill collectors demand a little more than ‘The state is two years behind in paying my company, so they can’t pay me.’ Oh well, trying times make you stronger.
I am sad that I won’t see the guys and gals that went through the program with me. We all keep in touch via social networks and some calls, but it’s not the same as seeing them a couple of times each week. I have to say they are all pretty cool people, and were great to work with in class.
Well, times change. Guess I’m changing with them. Still, everything at once kind of robs me of any stability. That is something I miss as well – a predictable routine.

It is really hard to find a good job. I understand. Most of the jobs I have found for the career I want to be in, especially in the St. Louis metro east/ southern Illinois are temp jobs. I am over-qualified even though I beg them to just hire me and I will do the job. Others, I am not qualified enough or it has other jobs tacked to the position that it is more an all around tech job instead of web and graphic designer.
Sometimes I think just any job will do, but it will not.
I can agree, with a job, you feel stable and know when you can go shopping for food or get something for yourself.

That’s what I’m running into around here. They usually want everything and pay nothing in the MtV, Centralia, and Salem area.
Going further West involves the commute, but generally a substantial pay increase. I’m looking into the Austin/Round Rock Texas area since we have some family down there. LOTS of network jobs available.
Decisions, decisions…
