At what point do you give up?  I’ve been unemployed for three months, which doesn’t sound harsh, but it really is on my bank account, and before that, I was working at another brutal job I didn’t care about.  So really, when do I give up?  My bank account thinks that right about now would be a good time to cash in, pick up that job I know is available to me in a telesales consulting firm.  It would be the necessary amount of detached and unconcerned; I could do my work and do it well without really getting mentally involved.  I could come home and write to my heart’s content.  However, is it too much to ask for that once, just once, things just work out for me?  Not that other people don’t have problems too, and not that I didn’t, in a lot of ways, choose this, but I just want the universe to pat me on the back and say, “You don’t have to be a part of inside sales outsourcing.  You just don’t.  Ignore the outsourcing insurance sales position; something is about to come along that will make you a famous writer.”  Like if I just hold on, I could be living the life of Riley, the life I always dreamed I should be living.  Somehow, I don’t think that will happen.
