Letter One: The Pessimist Awakes

I will be honest...I've been planning this blog since 2009. I created it last fall. Today is my first post. Slow and steady wins the race, eh? Or something like that.

I guess I should start by telling you who I am. Just call me Lucy. No, it's not my real name, but it will suffice for the purposes of this blog. High school valedictorian, college graduate with a degree in General Studies: English and Spanish, which is not at all what I was supposed to receive. I moved home in 2009 to help my mom and grandma take care of my dad, and after losing my first post-college job, I have not been able to find employment again.

I know, pretty pathetic, right? Meh, that's life. Especially mine. But I keep plowing through, and eventually I'll land that dream job. At least, that's what this pessimist tells herself.

I can't promise to write every day, or every week, or even sometimes every month, but I promise that when I do, anyone who bothers to read this blog will be treated to an excellent dose of sarcasm, snark, wit, and amusing stories of the mess that is my life.
