A little, dark cloud in my sky

Yesterday I went up to Louisville (which sounds like "Luvul" when the locals pronounce it) to do some job searching, and I gotta tell you that it turned out to be a downer - and I can't give you any particular reason as to why, but when I got back to my friend's place last night I was in a funk. A blue funk. And I really wanted to listen to Chet Baker Sings, but since it was on the ol' lap top... colour it "gone". Yeah, well, you get the picture. I don't know why it turned out to be such a crappy experience (well, Maru-chan did get dinged-up by a rock on I-65 - thank you Mr. Eighteen-Wheeler from Tennessee... ). It looks like a nice city and all. Maybe it was the hours spent sitting in a munincipal office filling out an endless application, only to be told afterwords that "... we don't know when we'll be hirin' anyone ..." (and the whole point of going to Louisville in the first place was because I was told that I had to go there in person to register and apply for work - no Internet applications allowed). Or maybe it was the weather, or it was just time for me to feel down for a change. Up to that point I had been having a pretty good job-hunting experience here in Kentucky (and, to be fair, I've been having a heck of a lot more luck finding leads than in Crashachusetts). I guess we can't always be up all the time, eh?
