The universe mocks me.

The job market is so bad that I have stooped to considering temp jobs in faraway suburbs, the commute to which would most likely cost me more in time, aggravation and money than the job is worth. That's where my job hunt stands. Anyway, when calling about one such job (in Malvern, may the Seven protect me), I was placed briefly on hold, during which time I was treated to Whitney Houston's cover of "I Will Always Love You."

Not only was that the longest fifteen seconds in my life, but it was a little billet-doux from the universe that read, "Remember: Things can always seem worse."
