Seems like it's time to wallow (oh, you have interviews? must be nice...). For anyone else in the same boat, here are the steps I recommend:
Step 1: Pick you poison.
Vodka? What, so you can drink like a freshman, vomit and piss on that car as you're stumbling back home?
Beer? Seems like a better choice - a good variety for any occasion.
Me Tonight: Whiskey. More specifically: Bourbon.
Step 2: Assess your mood.
Need your body to feel the pain emanating from your heart? Visit with your friend Evan Williams (or his slightly more alcoholic neighbor Ezra Brooks). After all, he helped get you through those years of hard work that are not paying off.
Perhaps that hard work should pay off and what you need is consolation. A Woodford Reserve or Knob Creek -- apparently any bourbon with a bottle shaped like an oversized flask. The pain here comes in your wallet, but hey, you don't need to pay for that hotel room at the APA.
Tonight: I don't need pity and I don't need pain. Just a solid, stalwart drink to get proper perspective. Perhaps a Wild Turkey Rye. Or maybe I'll skip the rye and go with the wheated oak-heavy W.L. Weller. Ultimately, I'm actually doing well. It's mainly this whole 'job security' thing that rears it's ugly head every year.. just in time for Christmas!
Step 3: Take you medicine.
Comments on appropriate job market drinks or drinking away your problems are welcome.
