The Applications Void

[coalescent]

Y'know, I've always read about how depressing it's supposed to be, firing off job applications into the ether and never hearing a word in response. Personally, I'm not finding it depressing (well, not very) - I'm just feeling slightly detached about the whole business, as though there really isn't anyone on the other end recieving my applications. This may be partly due to the fact that a goodly number of the things I send off go via email - clicking 'send' somehow doesn't have the same feeling of finality as walking to the post box...
