I am a UX Designer with computer science background. I have worked and studied for many years at Universities. I have two masters degrees, one from Stanford. Since 18 months ago when our project didn't get any more funds I have been applying for jobs in industry. I live in San Francisco and life here is very expensive. I have applied to as many as 150 jobs, have had about 60 phone screens and went to 30 onsite whole day interviews. In average I get one rejection per two weeks. I get an interview, I get excited, I prepare my portfolio and presentation.

I started this escapade in September of 2010. A little late to the game but unemployed none-the-less.

I was being constantly set-up for failure in my job. The management at the company didn't like me. I was successful in spite of them, not with their help.

My marriage was a disaster. It was my second and I knew it was a mistake shortly after the "I DOs". Then it took me 4 1/2 years to actually do anything about it.

HI folks!

I have been keeping current on the political situation, regarding the jobless, as best I may.

I'm pretty upset at the arrogant and uncaring attitude of some of our so-called leaders. Now one would like to think that these folks are " really concerned with the common good" . I listen to their aguments about cutting off the jobless from benefits they are entitled to as taxpayers. Cutting benifits earned by vets of the last few wars, also jobless and in need of care.
