Ah, those are never fun... Glad you apparently patched things up, though.

Its been so long since I had any idea of what true alone and "me" time is . . . I doubt I even know what I want anymore, if I had it.

The joys of adult life. This is why I wish I could be a lifelong student; there's just never enough time...

screw being a student. I just want to be an aimless teen again. Responsibilities were at a minimum, and free time a luxury taken for granted.

Fair enough. I love learning, hence why I would prefer that to total freedom.

I suppose I am just jaded after 8 years and high grades . . . for nothing.

That's entirely understandable; it hasn't done you the financial good it is intended to.

No, and it is painfully clear why. I don't like to network. I don't like reaching out to strangers and selling myself. My entire life, I have had the work ethic of a Baby Boomer- that is to say, I think the quality of my work should tell enough about me. Not who I met, or who I might be in good with. Because of that, I sacrificed what passed for my social life for years. I knuckled down and did all I could to earn the highest grades possible. 8 years of me working myself into a frenzy over grades . . . and for what? I deliver pizza. For the last 7 months I have used a plethora of job hunting sites, followed up on leads, and done all in my power to say "look, I have a Master's degree in science. I am a smart man, and can prove it!!!" And I deliver pizza.
I think it is a component to my recent depressive state.

I completely agree, as the protestant work ethic I uphold is very similar to the baby boomer mentality, basically meritocracy. It drives me nuts how you're "expected" to do all of these off-the-clock networking things that just eat up your time, as if you didn't have a life of your own or something. Sure, young singles can throw themselves into their work, but I have responsibilities and obligations that make my non-work life vastly more fulfilling.
Part of the reason for my current non-ideal pay situation is due to the fact that I interview terribly (primarily stupid mistakes).
Well, I am also depressed for my own reasons, so you needn't worry about me.
