hitting the wall

Drained and depressed today -- had another phone interview and the more I think about it, the more I think I blew this one badly. I know I need to contact various people and send out transcripts etc but I am just hitting the wall with the job search at the moment. I will have to pick it up again tomorrow. Right now I just want to go huddle in a corner and have a good cry.

For tomorrow:
1) get the transcripts out to all those requesting
2) follow up w/ recruiters
3) follow up w/ X/P, etc.
4) 5-7 more resumes out

Thanks. Now up to 108 resumes out, 5 rejections...I spent some time calculating just how long it would take me to apply for every single patent attorney job in the US (there are currently about 27,000 of us at the moment) but it would take 21 years at the current rate.

Well that's good. It means that there is a large market.
