Oh dear. I've done it again. Once more unto the breach I guess.
Well, I didn't get the job I was interviewed for. And it appears that such opportunities are going to increasingly become few and far between.
The AJ this morning predicted that the construction industry really won't pick up before 2011, and that 2009 is going to be a really, really, bad year to be in the architectural profession. Which doesn't bode well for any of us really.
I've now officially had to put my studies on hold, as I've missed the deadline for getting a year-out placement this year. Apparently that has befallen most of my classmates too.
So now I have a (pretty much) useless degree that qualifies me to do one, und precisely von, form of work, which has gone down the tube. Blast. Worse than that, it appears any form of job I could potentially do either (a) calls for experience I don't have, (b) a drivers licence I don't have or (c) is so far away as to make just getting there an occupation in its own right.
So now I'm stuck. I can't find a job that suits my talents, I have my parents starting to push me to go on the dole (something that my sense of pride and dignity precludes on pain of death and, worse, humiliation), and I'm starting to feel increasingly depressed and despondent.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the whining has returned.

Do you not know? Do you not hear? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in; who brings princes to nothing, and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness. Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown, scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth, when He blows on them, and they wither, and the tempest carries them off like stubble.
To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name, by the greatness of his might, and because He is strong in power not one is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, 'My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is disregarded by my God'? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might He increases his strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
