Ok, so, last week, I entered a contest with the local news station, where they would draw 20 names of people currently unemployed and give them a chance to sell themselves on the air.  Well. apparently, I was one of the names drawn.  I just got an email from the guy at the TV station wanting to know when I can come down.  OMG, what am I supposed to say?  How do I sell myself so I don't look like a total idiot and someone will actually want to hire me after seeing my fat ass on TV?  OMG, I'm going to give myself a panic attack, I never thought I would be one of the winners!  Aaaahhhggggg!  

*Kermit arms!!*

Ok, ok, I can do this.  I have an outfit picked out, but what do I say?  I - really, I'm not that marketable!  My biggest selling point is I'm a veteran and a hard worker, but I've only been working part time the past three years!  

*Whimpers*

Whoever thought winning would be so nerve wracking?  Eep!

Thank you! You have no idea how much I appreciate your help. I'm trying to get my brain to start working again, but I think once I do, I need to sit down and really contemplate everything you've said. I think once I get my head around what I really want, I can give it everything I have, and like you said, why the hell not? And I think I'll have to take you up on your offer to talk, as all I can think right now is, "Ummmmmm... I like chocolate?" Yeah, not too coherent.
