I'm not joking when I say that I have put in at least 1-3 applications every single day for 3 months now and all the while making calls to the companies to check on the application process. I could go into elaborate detail about how much pavement pounding I've done, but honestly I'm just too tired and exhausted with life and just want to tell you to go fuck yourself.

I didn't mean to sound like I was blaming you - I realize how it came across that way and I'm sorry.

Your situation sucks. And I know you're not alone, there are tons of areas that have what basically works out to a labor surplus. It drives wages down because there's no protection for workers and the minimum wage is a fucking joke.

Yeah, sorry, just feels like I get beat down every day and then people hit you with "just get a better job", "just stop being depressed", etc. It's very exhausting to live these days.
