Hang in there academic jobs do happen, I did the sessional thing for years but have a great position I love so don't give up hope!

You guys have been so awesome with encouragement. The process is soooo slow. I don't know how they expect people to wait so long. I am waiting to hear about a job at the state university in town. I took a test Tuesday and I just read on the HR site that it could be three to four weeks before the results and my ranking are posted. Which means that the departments won't get the information until after that I believe. I needed a real job weeks ago, so I'm trying to hang on. I'm also waiting to hear about a job from a new Ikea that's opening up. They said they would send my offer in the next 1-2 weeks and I would start the day after Christmas. Probably not going to be the job I want, but at least I know I will have something other than the damn dog store that's only paing $7.00 per hour. My last check from teaching is in a few weeks so I'm starting to panic.

Just to torture myself more I've also decided to try going vegan for a couple of months to see if I can get leaner and stronger and build up my immune system. I ate waaaay too much junk, during grad school, so I thought I would just try it. I have had headaches for days and I have been not very nice to be around the last two days. I tried veggie tacos last night with fake ground beef and cheese. It was hard to swallow to say the least, but I'm also at the point where meat and dairy are starting to be unappealing. Never thought I'd be feeling like that. Anway, got to finish writing a boring lecture about the Cold War....
