Welcome to my weekly meltdown

Its really hard to stay positive. I slip into a stressed out funk about 1x a week, if not more. This time it's been triggered by schedule dissatisfaction, seeing my old job posted (not at the research lab, the wonderfully overpaying one before that) and how much they start at now -- I'll just say it was utterly depressing/devastating to my psyche because I know I stand a snowball's chance in hell of ever making that again--, and general frustration with my complete loss of direction. 

The worst part is the aforementioned complete lack of desire to even try anymore. I've entered apathic stage again. *sigh*
