a history of me

I think I'm encountering the same problems in my search for employment and a date. I've long held the opinion that finding a job and a girlfriend are very similar processes. Both require going to a lot of interviews and references help a lot. It's also a hell of a lot easier to get work or a girl when you already have one. My problem right now is that I am leaving this country in forty-six days and it seems like nobody wants to start a relationship (business or pleasure) with me knowing that I will be gone before Labor Day. I believe that otherwise great opportunities are passing me by because of this.

What can I do? Not much. I won't stop "interviewing" in either case but as far as dating goes I will significantly cut back on my searching. It's just too much for me to deal with right now. I'm so tired of replying to ads and trying to establish a dialogue but then hearing nothing back once the facts of my life come up in our conversation. I mean, I'm an overweight, unemployed undergraduate student who lives with his father. Short of having an STD I don't see how I could be any lamer.

On the health front, all of my conditions are returning to the poor state they were in when I finished school. I have no choice but to pursue new doctors because I have little confidence in the ones I have been seeing and, more importantly, I can no longer afford them anyway. Tomorrow I'm going downtown to some kind of clinic to hopefully find some answers or at least inexpensive disappointment.

Given my present state of affairs I'm not in the best of moods. Neither is my Dad, but I can't really talk about him here. Let's just say that we're both stressed out right now and that makes it even harder to be around each other. I think the best thing we can do is spend as much time as possible apart.

So, does anyone want to meet anywhere and do anything? Please?
