On Following Bliss.
After a low point yesterday searching half-heartedly on Jobs That Serve (Milwaukee area nonprofit job postings) and feeling thoroughly unskilled, prospect-less, unhireable, and generally convinced that I'll never find anything resembling a career path that doesn't make me hate everything, I've today found a glimmer of hope.
