It was the dreaded job center visit today. The culmination of everything negative and depressing that has taken place thus far. But how negative and depressing was it actually... Was it as bad as being dumped on the same day as finding out that you need to have a tooth taken out. Was it as bad as actually having your tooth taken out. Or was it as bad as realizing that your football team looks like they are definitely going to get relegated this season. Well in retrospect, I would have to say "None of the above".... It was a lot better than expected. Don't get me wrong, I didn't feel like I had just won the lottery or anything like that, but I definitely didn't feel like slitting my wrists either. I guess every cloud has a silver lining after all.

I guess it all depends on what you actually expect from the situation of going to sign on. If you're expecting them to waive a magic wand and say that everything is going to be alright, then Yes you will be disappointed. But if you go in with an open mind and don't get a "little Hitler" advisor, then there is the potential to take positives from the situation.. On that note, I better get gone. These applications aren't going to do themselves.....
