1) Life's not fair.
2) But keep trying anyway.
I'm hoping that if I keep these two things in mind I won't get too downtrodden/discouraged/depressed/fall into the pit of despair as I kick the job hunt into full gear.
I've decided that the next company I work for must be a large one that offers good health benefits, 401k, and paid vacation (I still have yet to work at a company that offered paid vacation in the first year). I'm sick of working for these small companies that just want to squeeze every last bit of life out of you without giving you much in return. Is working for an employer that cares about its employees really so much to ask?
Bah.
3) Stop whining.
I have to keep believing that something great is going to happen.
