And So it Begins

Life with no job. Whoo hoo? I'm back to enjoying hours of job hunting from the comfort of my couch with the sounds of trashy daytime television as my soundtrack and entertainment.

I do have a busy schedule in front of me. It won't be all lazy and job searching.

I need to take my car into the repair shop as I hit a pole last week. I swear this pole just jumped out in the middle of the road! It was the middle of the day and I was driving home from work and well, uhm, hmm I was on the phone with Bev. But don't tell anyone.

I need to job hunt seriously. I don't know why but my last week on the job, I was in such a state of denial. I thought someone would come up to me and say, "just kidding" or "we still need your position". Not so much. I waited until the very last hour to clean out my desk. That's how bad it was. I plan to hit it hard this week so I can, if any fall through, interview the following week.

After that, I'm taking a two week working vacay to Phoenix to search and scout out venues and the such. So far, my internet searching is failing me. Let's also hope and pray, my mother and I both survive two weeks of each other.

So see, I'm busy, unemployed at least through February.

Good luck with the job search! I've been at it since August :(. (Then again, I'm a student looking for a summer internship, so not really the same thing).

Enjoy your trip to Phoenix, and then you can dig into the search more heavily. You won't get anything done until you get back anyway, so might as well have fun!

Oh, I wish I could go with you to scout locations. Here's hoping you find the perfect place.

Every year I get laid off for the summer. I make enough to keep me in beer and chips, so that's not the problem. All last summer I sat on my front porch, drinking beer and reading books... Not even the internet. The women at the library new me by sight by the end of the summer... But by the time I was ready to get back to work this last September, I couldn't fit into my work clothes! I had put on 30 pounds!

Glad to see you're still writing!
