delays.

My blogging is very delayed to begin with. I still haven't finished the Nepal stories. In fact, I'm only up to week 2. But that's ok - given where "blogging" is on my list of things at the moment, I'm not fretting too much.

Why?

Well most of you who are reading this will be in the same boat. Job applications! Cover letters are killing me in the "here-is-a-semi-generic-piece-of-drivel that I made in 3 hrs to cover whatever you told me was important to your organisation" kinda way. I'm just regurgitating their websites into letter form. Why I even need to to this is a big question. In Aus, there is a set number of positions and a set number of graduates. There is a large gap between no. of positions and numbers required (numbers required is greater) which ensures that I should (hopefully) be employed. So why all the crap?!

On the other hand, I haven't done my modules from a rotation ago because I've been endlessly fretting over every single "the" and-ironically "and" I write. Each character is exactly where I want it to be, yet I'm not happy. Even knowing that my CV/CL only gets my foot in the door- it's my interview, referees and grades that seal the deal. Even THEN, my OCD is enough that I spend hours on trying to figure out what I write; almost to the point where I feel I have writer's block FOR FUCKING RESUMES AND COVER LETTERS!

Sigh. I suppose this will all be over soon enough. Maybe then I can go and enjoy a nice coffee in the city...
