A Job A Job!

Well, I have a job!!  It's part time, and only for a month, but it is SOMETHING!  Is it silly that I am as psyched about it as I am? I think not.

It gets to a point, when you are unemployed, that no matter how much you find to occupy your time, how many things you volunteer for, how many books you read to distract yourself, that you just start getting BORED.

So, I will be teaching swimming lessons, and I'm really kinda psyched about it. I get to be around people (well, kids, and they often count more than adults do!), get out of the house, and get some exercise in the process.

Wish me well!!

The NEW Job Count

I've found myself getting, understandably, frustrated as of late.  Much of this can be attributed by a company that has been stringing me along for about the last three months now.  So, I'm working to come at this with a new, and hopefully improved, attitude.

So, I'm starting a Job Count (as seen to the right!!) per the suggestion of a great friend.  I'll tally how many applications I've sent in, how many times I've heard back (beyond just the auto-reply that comes from everyone), and how many interviews I've gotten from those applications.  And I'm doing this all from a brand new Square One - with the first applications having gone in last Friday.

So. Wish me luck.  Also, let me know if there is anything else I should include in the count!!
