I like FedEx. Good hours, benefits and long term term potential... but I have a mild problem of hitting vehicles when I'm in the station pulling out or parking.
I am a handler DOT, so I drive a little bit. If I have anymore accidents within the next year, I'll lose my ability to drive and could be terminated.
I'm team lead of the handlers, so I probably am safe keeping my job, but I'm not fond of the handling aspects long term. It's like the carwash, but as team lead I don't have to do as much physical stuff.
Regardless, I have a part-time job, so I am looking for another job essentially much like I have been ever since I got out of grad school in 2001. I should just stop looking given the wasted energy the search has been.
I have my Indeed.com searches set up for email, and I have my various library websites bookmarked. I should just let them go.
Either LinkedIn or Glassdoor claims that 80% of jobs are found through knowing someone, which means I'm more likely to find a job by being out and about socially than actually looking... it would seem.
I'll probably write a book about a guy who wants a job and tries too hard to get one.

Job Anxiety

Three responses in a week
So I apply for lots of jobs that may not be ideal for me but fit my skill set. This past week, I had two phone interviews screening for a positions within my field, while I had an email setting up an interview for a third position also related to my field.
Amazing how months go without hearing anything then 3 hits in a single week. Ups and downs. Need more weeks like this.

Officially a teacher
I had two students in my class. They didn't have textbooks yet, so I had to change some plans. Accomplished mostly what I intended for the first day. I have to get ready for next week, and I have a better idea of what I will be doing.
Job market is luke warm, so I have a couple prospects to which I shall apply. I just don't care for the jobs seemingly available. Just got to take what I can and work my way back to where I want to be. Jobs aren't exactly meant to be fun, but it helps to enjoy what you do for a living.
Teaching 5 hours a week is more like a hobby than a job. I have to do work in my personal time to prepare for the class I'm teaching, hence it's a hobby.
