It is the fourth week since the completion of my B. S. in Applied Physics. I am still unemployed – my best prospect ended after the third round of interviews when senior management decided they needed someone more experienced for an entry level position. This is something I cannot understand – why list a position as needing little to no experience and then demand that the applicant has more experience than stated? Even on the UC Davis alumni job board there are numerous open positions requiring five years of experience.

I am still getting married in about six weeks or less and there is much unfinished planning. We need a sound system, a meeting with the organist, I need to buy a suit, plan my bachelor party, and the list just continues.

I did manage to finish a couple of decent books but despite this all I feel somewhat unproductive.
