Day 24 - Burnt out already? Yes, yes I am...

That's no surprise that I am tired of the being unemployed and looking for jobs. Especially since I have been job hunting for over two years now, maybe longer. I haven't really been keeping track. It's probably been more like 4 years. It gets so old, but at least I am getting weekly unemployment now. 

 My office is probably going to need to change. The current purple is just too mellow and dark for me to be in on a daily basis for long periods of time. Most likely, I am going to change the color of paint on the wall or buy a big tapestry to cover it up for the time being. I've been hunting for a tapestry that won't overstimulate my brain. Ironically, the one I have been contemplating is called "Magical Thinking Magic Eye Tapestry"

Just not sure I will like it in-person. A large poster would work too. I just need to take the time to figure something out. 

But what I think I might end up doing is hanging up my mother's lace table cloth from her wedding up there for now. I think that will do the trick!

I will be doing some freelancing this week, so I won't be eligible for unemployment. Luckily, that money doesn't go away when you aren't eligible from week to week. It's just put on hold until you start a new claim. But most likely if I work for this client this week, I will be doing production work next week. Some money is better than no money!

A day of enjoyment before going back to work

I decided I should do some fun things today, since it is my last day of not working full-time. I enjoyed a pedicure, which was very nicely done. I prefer going to a hair salon to get my nails done, but most of them were closed today. So, I ended up at a nail salon. I always worry about the cleanliness of those salons, but I went anyways. Afterwards, I went to Goodwill and found a few more things that I can wear to work. Since the boss seems to be concerned about her employees dressing 'too casual,' I decided I should invest in a few dressier looking outfits, because I totally was super relaxed at Tackle Marketing. I was wearing flip flops, t-shirts and capris a lot during the Summer. I found a couple of really adorable dresses. One is a bit snug, so I will have to spend some time trying to slim down for it to be comfortable. But I am very pleased with my purchases. Of course, I had to take Lucky for one more long drive since he really cannot walk that much anymore without l...

Day 15 - Time to Learn!

Image
But first, I did some SPRING CLEANING! I was drinking my morning tea in bed, looking at how unorganized my closets were in the bedroom. Staring at the piles of sheets thrown into the top of my closet shelf made me feel uneasy. So, since I had no set plans for this morning, I just started organizing. There are many pins out there stating you should "use your pillow cases to keep your sheets neat and orderly". Of course, I don't even want to bother with learning how 'easy' it is to fold fitted sheets. That might be the case if you are patient, which I am not. So, I stuffed my sheets in various pillow cases. Then, I decided I would utilize the shelves where I have millions of Steve's hats sitting that never get worn, and a few pairs of shoes. The shelves will be a lot more user friendly, and the sheets will be much easier to access. For now, I can place all my boots up top since I won't be wearing those again until winter. What Pinterest says your shee...

Day 18 - First Unemployment Paycheck!

Image
It was nice to see that I received my first unemployment check deposit yesterday. I was certain I probably missed the deadline to post my jobs search information after I went to the meeting last Friday, but luckily I made it! Yay! I went to the farm, which was pretty cool. Michelle was very busy, which was to be expected. It was fun to take see what goes into having a pasta sauce and pasta company. Too much work for me, personally! I don't think I would want all that responsibility. I also stopped by a cemetery on the way back home. It was pretty cool. The old cemeteries don't fascinate me as much as they used to, but I do enjoy walking around for a few minutes.  The rest of the day, I took a couple of walks and read my book. I also applied for about 4 other jobs.
