Today marks the two month "anniversary" of losing my job. I'm not celebrating unemployment, although it's wonderful that I'm no longer in the worrying stages of this unfortunate situation. In the last two months I've submitted countless resumes and applied for various positions in a variety... read more All Fired Up.
