The end of this one was like a punch in the gut. (And yet, a punch in the gut that's real, and one that everybody who is still lucky enough to have a job should get just to remember what it could be like.) I just whined about something at my job, and now I feel rather silly. Oh man. The end of this one was like a punch in the gut.

I have been a stay at home dad for the last 2 years and have no worries about gaps on my resume. Be careful when you go to interview because if you show any ambition they will not want you. Most employers wan't Swamp Donkeys with a pulse.

I guess employers have released the hounds, so to speak. I had the same anxiety about gaps in employment, but luckily as an artist I can say I've been freelancing in between, which I actually have. It makes the gaps less unattractive to potential employers. I was shocked to get an email from a recruiter last week. I guess employers have released the hounds, so to speak.

I hear you. I've applied to jobs like that posted on Craigslist, consoling myself with the thought that at least they really need me. Sigh. I hear you.
