The Seattle Times: Northwest Life: Chronicles of an unemployed telecom worker

Call me an optimist, but I still have hopes of finding that perfect job, and a boss who is not afraid to take on a person with the attention span of a fruit fly, the ideals of a superhero and the heart of a lion.

Not quite how I would portray myself, but I can identify with the frustration and dwindling hope . . . . .

On a related note, I have heard rumblings that the group I led at my last job is being blamed for the company’s eventual demise, and I suppose that makes it all my fault.

This probably isn’t helping my prospects all that much. It may not be accurate anyway: could just be someone venting on a bad day. But it’s troubling to hear it all the same.
