Here I sit on a beautiful August afternoon just wondering where the summer has gone. I have now been out of work for 3 months – the longest ever for me. Finding work was never an issue, never difficult for me until this year. Sign of the times I guess. My summer has not been the most enjoyable – it’s called lack of money to do anything. I have tried to stay positive, I seek in earnest every day. I send resumes out every day. I send resumes to companies that are not advertising. And then I just hope that mine will stand out against the hundreds of others on the manager’s desk and I wait for the call.
Since looking I have been offered 4 jobs. And now you are probably wondering why I am not working. The first two, were strictly commission and it meant going to people’s homes and convincing them that what I had was what they needed. I sat back and thought about it ….. no, definitely not for me. I would have probably lasted maybe a week before I handed back the “sales kit”. I did not want to waste my time nor the company’s time. I was then offered a position for $12 an hour, after FOUR interviews – great little company but was told that I would be travelling two days a week to a place that would take me an hour on a good day. In the winter, more. With the wear and tear on my car, the god awful drive in the long winter months – $12 an hour just did not cut it. Then I met what I thought was going to be perfect …… I wrote about it here – I Found One. Well now this is being put on hold ………I am frustrated and somewhat confused as I did turn down job offer number 3 for this one.
Good lord above. What is one suppose to do? It is driving me crazy. So it’s back to square one and seeking and sending resumes. Wish me luck.
But in the meantime ………..
My trip to Cuba is booked……….. I will have some fun there and be gloriously happy!! Will be great to see everyone again. Unfortunately we will not be going to Holguin ……….. but there is always next time. And there will be a next time, that I know for sure.
