On the prowl
I've been job hunting for the last two days like a hungry lioness. I've pretty much tapped all my resources though and now I'm starving and a little scared. Part of the problem is that I know what I want to do now and I don't want to compromise and end up stuck in a job I hate. So very few jobs are really jumping out at me. On the positive side, according to the Department of Labor, I'm in good shape because I have Web experience. Hopefully finding another job won't be too difficult, and if I get into American's grad school I'll really jump ahead in my career.
For now all I can really do is keep applying and prepare to leave Charlotte if I have to. My mind is in a million places at once though and I won't be able to concentrate for my final two weeks of work. Fortunately my colleagues understand. Just another reason I hate to leave. I absolutely love the people I work with. They are understanding, yet fun and cool, and they always look out for me. It's like having a half-dozen or so big brothers. Just a few weeks ago I felt safe and happy, now it's all topsy-turvy.I came home and I couldn't stop running around trying to find stuff I could do because I had already hit all the job sites and I was burnt out on looking at the computer screen, yet I felt I had to be productive. So I organized my desk and bathroom cabinets. I cleared papers from the kitchen counter I use for important stuff and put old apartment guides and phone books in the recycling bin. I threw out old makeup and played with the cats. Now I don't know what to do with myself! I'm about to start organizing my books to figure out which ones I haven't read now that I'm about to have too much time on my hands. That task should probably wait though until I have boxes to start packing the old ones into. Not like I'll be able to concentrate on any story right now though! As you all can tell I'm a complete mess right now. But I think I'm holding up much better than the last time I was unemployed. It's an image you don't even want to think about!
