Quaggy
\’kwa-ge\ adj 1:marshy 2: flabby

Searching for a job has been an all too interesting experience. I have gotten myself set in my ways when it comes to job hunting. Whip out the index cards, pen, jumpdrive and head to local library to sit there for an hour sending out loads of resumes wondering if any one of what seems like millions of potential employers will get back to me. This routine, while it may not seem that intense to others, is just that for me, a routine. It enables me to sustain the waning energy, reclaim the floundering motivation, and to suppress the overwhelming frustration. It provides structure, creating a strong fortress whose walls are not crumbling, whose sturdy foundation will allow me to create one of my own, so that when I step outside into the unknown brush ready (or not) to face the wild, the first quaggy step I take will not send me running back inside the stalwart unrealistic universe I have long since established.
