Didn't get yet another job. I'm not sure how many job interviews I've done this year. Next time, I think I may just avoid making any reference to my current occupation and focus entirely on examples from before I started here. The frustration creeps in when I talk about Employer X, however much I want to hide it. A 'Storm the bastille!!  Ca ira!!"" undertone creeps in. Interviewers probably think I'm going to either guillotine them or cry over my laptop if they give me a job. 

Am also thinking of small projects to do at the weekend to a) hook another employer and b) raise my rather tender self-esteem. 

I flunked various questions this time, but my blank uncomprehending stare when one of the interviewers asked about work-life balance may have been my most triumphant failure. I'm not even a workaholic; I've just had to lean into whatever workaholic traits I have over the last year or so because it's made rational sense to do so.
