xie: Jul 29, 2004; I GET UPSET WHEN PEOPLE SPEND THEIR MONEY ON WASTEFUL THINGS THAT I DONT APPROVE OF

Yes, I can totally relate to a lot of this (jack of all trades, success, pick stuff up quickly but not titled/credentialed, etc). The quick version of it is that I spent over a year applying to every single job in my area with not even a phone interview. There were no opportunities at my own (horrible) organization either. Then within a month I had a (bad, but still) phone interview externally, a spot came up in my own organization, and landed my dream job when someone in another business unit took a chance on me and now I loving love going to work every day.

Just keep at it and find things outside of work to fulfill you. I did a lot of hiking this past summer, and burned all of my vacation time as well.
