ive changed my mind

cover letters are the bane of my existence

resumes i can handle now..but ive been trying (obviously not very hard lol) to write a cover letter for an application for an hour and a half and im still no closer to getting it done now than i was when i started..its frustrating and being frustrated makes me want to quit trying...but i was doing so good..managed to finish 2 applications yesterday..one was online but did not need a cover letter..and one i have to mail in today..and then i was just looking around and found a couple i wanted to apply for but they are in va..and then this morning i was looking around again and found one in wilmington i would like to apply for but the stupid cover letter has me stuck and i cant send it without one..but i just dont know what to write in one..i dont get them i guess..really do consider them a waste of space but im guessing thats just me...been trying to figure out where i want to work..job type wise..and i know i can go to a department of social services..but i just dont want to..the more i think about it the more positive i am that i stayed out of the child welfare collaborative for a good reason..yes it means that it is harder to get a job within the dss..but its just something i am not ok with doing..it stinks that there are so many job openings for the a/t, foster care positions..and they pay really well of course..but its not for me..so im going in the other direction and looking into residential programs, counseling, case management type stuff..things i know i can handle and deal with and not freak out to badly..and so now i just have to keep an eye out for jobs i like and make sure i apply for them ..

insert a few bad words about cover letters and such..and now back to worrying about what to write
