Job hunt starteth again
Mood:  on fire
Now Playing: Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around
So I have recieved several calls recently from family members and friends. Which is nice. Kind of. So what do I mean by 'kind of'? Well the only topic has been my job situation. I am glad you are all concerned. Thank you for wanting to be included in my self induced and stupid monetary crisis. It will work out, have faith. I have always been able to see reality in situations. The reality of my situation is that I have an ever increasing bill pile and a rapidly decreasing bank account. I have to get a job, and this job has to start immediately. I know this and I know you know this. So let's get down to the brass tacks.

What have I done since we last talked? Well not much. OK, that is not exactly true, I have sent out numerous resumes for positions. I have recieved some responses and I have had an interview already and I have two more interviews in the near future. Are they the jobs of my dreams? No. No they are not the job of my dreams, but how can I be picky? I have bills to pay and an insurance career to start and no money to fund either!

The good news is I already was offered a job. The first interview of the week is also the first job offer. So what type of a job is it. Guess. Of course it's a call center, who else hires that quickly? It pays more than the last, benefits are offered earlier and it has decent hours. The best thing I can say is my first day is Monday. Yeah that's right I have a crappy job starting on Monday. Don't forget that what I need more then anything is to win the lottery. Since that hasn't happened I will settle for a job.

As soon as I get my license study hours finished I will take the insurance tests and start with AFLAC. Hopefully, life will get better, or at least the bank account will become less bleak. So I am trying to see the big picture and to ignore the small picture.

I started this all off by complaining about phone calls from family and friends. I love talking to you all, but give me some new questions. Talk to me about this stupid blog, ask about the wedding pictures, when I will write the next poem, if I spent time enjoying Oregon's beauty today. You know I will tell you about the job situation, it is foremost on my mind. It is an unescapable reality, it is a topic I will discuss freely. I juyst hate that it tends to be the only topic.

I am not my job. I am much more then that. I bring more to life then a worker bee and so do you. Jobs should be secondary, life should come first. Respect yourself and your worth, enjoy where you are and who you are. I am trying to.
