Okay, so I have been in Las Vegas for 10 days now, and I am having some serious anxiety attacks. I left San Jose because it was time. I chose LV because my son is here. My contract @ Cisco Systems ended on July 3 2008, and I could think of absolutely zero reason to stay in the San Francisco bay area. The employment outlook is bleak, unemployment doesn't cover the cost of housing, let alone the minimum needs to survive while seeking employment. So, I loaded up the truck and the cat, and got on the road to Las Vegas.
The heat is a bit overwhelming at first, but I find that I am adapting to it well. The job prospects are underwhelming and I am already beginning to freak out about that. I know ten days is not that long, but when I look at all of my normally reliable job search resources, I'm finding that there is a theme of fraud and misdirection with regards to opportunities here.
Another thing I have experienced; men contacting me from certain networking and social sites who think that my lack of interest in their offers of a fast f*u*c*k makes me immature, insecure, fake, phony, selfish, over the hill, used up, and a game player. What in the world makes these rectums think that a woman with standards can not reside in Las Vegas? I had some piss-poor excuse of a 30 year old male (NOT MAN, MALE)tell me that I would never have anyone. Why? Because I turned down his offer to come to his 1 bedroom 'mansion', tie him up, and experience how well he could satisfy me, even while he was restrained. My unwillingness to satisfy the needs of this unknown idiot makes me used up, unworthy of male companionship. He said it, so it must be true. I'll try to remember to give a s*h*i*t about it later. Right now, all I can do is shake my head.
So, what's next? I will try not to become discouraged with the employment scene here and I will go on about my business with determination and belief in myself. One thing I have always been is persistant, and though it may appear that persistance is not exactly what is required with only ten days in the city, I don't feel it's going out on a limb when I say it will require persistance in spades.
