Okay

I need to find a new job. I've been saying this the entire time I've had this job, but now they're completely overhauling everything, using a new software system, etc. and they're moving me to a department I do not want to be in (I SPECIFICALLY SAID I DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN THE ONE THAT MAKES ALL THE PHONE CALLS) and so I really need to start finding something else. Maybe somewhere in a new place. But either way: something else.

So if any of y'all have tips for me not having some sort of breakdown while I jobsearch since I find it so completely overwhelming, I'd love to hear them.

Also I have my first chigger bite of the year. I don't know how I managed to go this long without getting any, but UGH CHIGGERS.

Hmm, I guess one thing I would say is to remember that you are looking for the company that fits you. Don't undervalue yourself. It's a two-way process: they have to convince you that they're the right company for you as well as you convincing them that you're the right person to work for them. If you have limited time, there's no point in applying for jobs that you wouldn't want to do anyway. You can be choosy.
