Unemployed Musings

I keep thinking of new ways that unemployment is like dating.
So, I was out at a bar, and I met this guy. He said he was looking for an artist for his little mobile company, and we should exchange information and meet up. I decided not to contact him the very next day, as I didn't want to seem desperate, so two days later I wrote him a brief little message, saying "Hey, remember me? We met at the bar the other night blah blah blah are you still looking for an artist?" But he didn't reply; no big deal, he's probably a busy guy, and I can't expect him to jump at every email he gets. So after a couple of days I try again, with an even more timid email, saying "Don't know if you're still interested, but if you are we should totally meet up somewhere." He replied that day, saying how sorry he was, he's just totally swamped but we should totally hook up. How's Wednesday afternoon?
"Well," I wrote back, "I have another interview that afternoon, but any time later in the week is fine." I should mention I told him I had another interview- not technically a lie, but it was an informational interview and not for any actual position- to let him know I was still available, but there were other fish in the sea. Then I didn't hear from him again. At all. And I started thinking to myself, Shit, did I say something? Fuck, he probably saw that comment about my having another interview as somewhat insulting... Oh my god, I totally ruined everything! What am I, fucking stupid? I'm going to be unemployed forever at this rate! Then I spend the next two days eating bad food.
Thank god I have a girlfriend already. If I were single and unemployed, I'd have probably jumped out a window weeks ago.
