Once More Gainfully Employed!
Well, I accepted First Offer today. Last step is the drug test, which is a breeze. I’ve never even smoked, much less done illegal drugs. Things just kind of shook themselves out. Possibility 1 is out of town until the end of the month … well, I’m not waiting around for two or three more […]
Job Front Looking Up! And More Drama Next-Door
I’ve been a busy little bee this week, and I have results to show for it …. I now have a firm offer in hand, plus two companies who are a little further behind in the hiring process but who wish to be notified before I take another offer because they think they might want […]
Ho Blinkin’ Hum! This Job Search Thing Is BO-Ring
It wouldn’t be so bad if there were something I could do, but there isn’t really. I go online every Sunday and print all the ads I might be qualified for, write my little cover letters and mail, fax, or e-mail them all first thing Monday morning. On Monday and Thursday I hit the job […]
Yesterday Was a Lovely Day
Despite the fact that I am still unemployed, I had a marvellous day yesterday. I took the children to the initial visit for the research study, and we learned a lot about the ear and its workings. I was also reassured that neither child has any hearing problems at all. (I was a bit worried […]
Funny How Things Hit You When You’re a Single Mom
Today, I’m thirty-five. I don’t feel any different, really. But I suppose it’s some sort of milestone. The kids have been itching and uncomfortable for a couple of weeks, so I spent the morning with the kids at the allergist’s, holding them while we re-tested their allergies. Things are going to be changing at our […]
Back in the Swing
I took a few days “off” from blogging so that I could help my mom get ready for my brother’s wedding and so I could get some work done here at the house. I’m back in the swing of things now, and will be posting regularly to Blog Seeds and one or more of my […]
Is It Life? Or the Weather?
I just cannot shake this funk. It ebbs and flows a bit, as I keep busy or not, but it’s always there, lurking. It could be the weather. It’s been overcast and mostly rainy here since Sunday, though I did get out and mow the backyard on Sunday afternoon. But it started raining that night […]
Changes in Attitude … Changes in …
… well, barometric pressure, at any rate. There are storms coming in and out of our area this afternoon, and the resultant roller-coaster of barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity have conspired to keep me in a lethargic funk all afternoon. I really had intended to get a good bit of housework done, but I haven’t […]
Today Was Better
Probably because, being Friday, there’s not much I could do about either the job search or the ex. So I took the kids to VBS and then went by the library to renew my card and check out some old friends. I read one of them and then picked up the kids at noon. I […]
Exhausted
Between the job search and the money worries, I’m pretty well beat. A job search is, of course, stressful on its own. But when you add in the draining worry about whether the money will last until you get another job, you find yourself completely knackered at the end of the day. It’s only 9 […]
