BURNING, BURNING
Def Leppard... always a pleasure to me. Nice butt shot too. Hee hee. Are we already at hump day? Time is burning, burning...
When I first arrived here it seemed like time had slowed down to a lovely easy pace. I can't believe that I have been here for a month and 11 days. Still looking for that perfect baby pit.
Now that time has moved into hyper drive, I have begun to panic over getting a job. I only have one check left coming around this time next month and a trifle in my savings. Randy says he will take care of me, but you know that is a relationship killer... and I have no desire to let go of this one.
Its hot enough now that I have decided to apply in the public sector for a job that can either be a better thing or something to tide me over. Yikes! I do not want to leave behind my good pay, vacations up the wazoo and summers off. But bills have to be paid and I insist on paying my share.
When I did a blog post about traditional vs modern relationships, the point was made that in relationships it is often about money. That made its way into conversation with the man... who told me he never wanted a problem to occur between us about money. We would work things out. I do not doubt his word on this. Or at least his good intentions. He is a very honest and calm person who is always willing to talk about things to keep our communications open and flowing well. But better safe than sorry and really, I have my pride about keeping up my half of things. I don't want a sugar daddy and I am not a sugar baby.
So today, I don my best outfit, which is not very good and walk among the unemployed to file through any place I think might suit my skills and beg for applications... or find out how one applies in this new crisis driven job market. Scary stuffs!
I would not mind working on line at home. I have a nice office space and no distractions... no children to rear while working, no social obligations, no elderly parents to tend. But I've no clue how to find those jobs. Anybody out there know? I am open to suggestions.
So if not... what's up with your hump day?

I can't convey to you how much I can relate to your problem. We had a thriving business until the economic collapse that BO seems indifferent about correcting. Now it seems as though fear is the word of the day. Very unconducive to business.
ReplyDeleteAny day with the Leps is a better day automatically.
ReplyDeleteCube-- Boy I hear you! With our current economic mess people are afraid to remodel or are doing it themselves to save money. You are in a real tight spot... and I am sure the reduction in tourism in your area from the oil spill is not helping on top of the tough times the rest of us face who are not affected by that fear factor.
ReplyDeleteI just re-registered to vote at my new address. I can't wait to put in my two cents at voting time. Enough of this bull!
Michael-- True! I like to begin my morning with Def Lep's Vault. Gets the blood pumping. Then I am ready to hit the street for a brisk walk with punk in my MP3, ready to face the world. But by evening I am ready to calm it down a bit with something more mellow... like a bit of Billy Joel or Jackson Browne. My tastes span half a century. I know, I'm a music whore.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bad job scene, for sure. My daughter has applied at a bunch of places, but nobody calls back. Yeah, it's just a minimum wage job, but I remember a time a few years ago you couldn't go anywhere without seeing a "Hiring" sign. Sometime is definitely wrong and it's not Bush's fault, Zippy!
ReplyDeleteCube-- I agree, the "hiring" signs are gone. Even the supermarket near my home has a chair next to a computer where applicants can sit and fill out an application with the world watching, but no promise of an open position... just a faceless place to apply. I don't know how anyone gets anything anymore. Very disheartening! Good luck to you daughter!
ReplyDeletegood luck, ananda. wishing you the very best in the job hunt.
ReplyDeleteThanks lime! Actually, I found three job openings yesterday in a district here... and one of them has 10 spots open. I'm crossing my fingers and filling out apps like crazy.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the job hunt. It always seems to be about perseverance and patience - neither of my strong suits.
ReplyDeleteChurlita-- Thanks. Its not my strong suit either. I do not like change very much, though I have liked my most recent changes very much. It is hard getting settled and restarted. I need all the luck I can get.
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew! My line of work precludes working from home, so it's not anything I have any knowledge of. Good luck!
