It's amazing how much things can change in a day

After Monday I've gone from thinking that something would work out for next year to thinking that I'll join the vast ranks of unemployed PhDs desperate for work. I was rejected by around 18 jobs this year, and a postdoc -- I was rejected from job #18 and the postdoc on Monday. And as a free preview of next year, I was also laid off of my adjunct gig on the first day of classes Monday, with no warning, and after being assured by them that they needed me when I was offered other work. They actually couldn't be bothered to contact me, so instead they waited until I rode the bus almost one hour to tell me that they no longer needed me.
