A beagle can't catch a break!

So the Joplin, Mis-e-ry job hunt is just as fruitless as ever. It reminds of that old children's classic "Snoopy Come Home" where poor ol' Snoopy and his feathery pal Woodstock are stuck out in the cold, cruel world all by themselves. Whenever Snoopy seeks shelter at a place of business, sure enough there's a sign saying "No Dogs Allowed". Aww, dammit not again! And then you hear that booming bass voice singing "no . . . dogs . . . allowed". That's pretty much how I feel with the job hunt right now: No Peck Allowed.

It's the only time I've ever cried during a cartoon.
