As if I didn't feel bad enough...
I'm on my roommate's computer right now, and since it was recently worked on, all the old links are down....so I decided to do a search on "shababble" to try to get to my blog. The wonders of the world of cyberspace lead me to a link that mentions my blog and me to someone else in what I assume is their blog. This person is evidently feeling semi-something-or-rather about just landing a mediocre job as she is still working on her M.A. So the person I know pretty much said - "hey, at least you got a job, I know someone who is a total loser with a Master's degree and hasn't got crap to show for it.....here, check out her link to see how pathetic she is." Okay, so those weren't the exact words, here are the exact words:
"Hey, at least you picked up a job with benefits so quickly after getting out of school. You could be like my very good friend shababble (http://shababble.blogspot.com/) who picked up her masters in 2000 (I think) and STILL hasn't found THE job.. and barely even 'a' job... You should check out her blog there to see what I mean. ;-)"
So thanks a lot you-know-who-you-are, because now I feel even more pathetic than I already did, but I guess it proves my point, that maybe I'm just here to make other people feel better about what they perceive as their own ridiculous little work situations. I just didn't realize that that would expand to people I didn't even know. At least I was called "a very good friend". And the degree was earned in 2002, not that that would make me any less of a bulletin board for reasons not to go to college. So if anyone else wants to point out to someone just how stupid you think my existence is, maybe you should e-mail them the link so I don't read about it and feel like crawling into a hole.

Even though this still makes me feel like crap, I do realize that it probably wasn't meant as harshly as I took it. I don't want to make the person who wrote it feel bad, but it still really hurt my feelings. However, maybe I served a bit of my purpose and maybe that other girl felt a tad better about her own situation. Bleck.
Don't feel like crap. It could be worse. You could be like my good friend FarmslutDVDA who is always inadvertently getting himself in trouble and ends up feeling like crap when he does. ;)
Hehehe....
