One of the pitfalls of this looking-for-work malarkey is that you can just end up trying too damn hard, while always feeling you're not doing enough (otherwise you'd have a job by now, right?). I used to tell my housemate to have a day off, properly - no 'just one email' - or she would burn out.
And yet, here I am on 'holiday', glued to the laptop I lugged up to Scotland with me, checking my emails first thing and feeling miserable, defeated and overwhelmed.
I am switching the computer off, putting it back in the suitcase, where it stays until I get home.
