So when am I going to win the lottery or find a job I really, really like? Okay, my prospects on both are severely limited, I know. But one of the two has to happen, and soon. Trouble is, a monkey could do what I do so whenever I apply somewhere, I'm up against a gazillion other applicants who are at least 10 years younger than I am, have much less experience, but will work for a lower salary and are perky about their job because they don't know any better yet.
