Can you get a hangover from one glass of wine? Judging by my day today, you can, friends, oh yes you can. You can also have a sinus headache that makes the quiet party across the street sound like it's right next to your bed. Oy.
On the job front, a couple of interviews in the last week or so. No offers yet though. In the meantime, I'm attempting to motivate into some of the long-neglected crafts I've been meaning to do since I finished Chinese medicine school. It's been hard to pull out of this...miasma and get going at something, anything. I'm having the stuck feelings again, closing in on me.

Explanation
During a phone interview yesterday, the interviewer asked me the following question:
You're so qualified, why are you applying for a low level administrative assistant job?
I tried, politely, to explain to her that positions congruent with my education and experience are going to people with much more experience than I have and positions that are, essentially, pretty basic for me are hard-won for people as highly educated as I am.
But, really? The bottom line is--I just need a fucking job. You know I can do the job. You've said so yourself. Hire me already.
