I'm still going

[hiddenmuse]

Yesterday I filed for unemployment, and looked at different websites to see what is available - even though there really isn't any hiring in December.

I'm still doing what I can to keep "some semblance of normalcy" - continue to look at the websites, start working on a resume, reaching out to my company contacts, everything else.

On the home front, I'm running the needed errands and trying to get the place cleaned up. Just little things, you know?


In the meantime, tonight was a pretty decent night.... Chinese takeout and early '90s TV ("Parker Lewis"), then "Top Chef" and "Beavis and Butt-Head" with Kellie.

Looking for a job is horrible, so I'm really impressed with how focused you are on it and how you're determined but realistic about hiring in December.

Thanks! Yeah, Kellie was the one that told me that company hiring is pretty rare in December - that it probably won't get started up again until January at the earliest.

And with the company contacts, I grabbed up all of the business cards for people I worked with closely. The marketing/sales reps in the area could let me know if they hear of an agency looking to hire; the more distant company underwriters could give me references.

Also, I love that I'm friends with one of my former underwriters and that since she's no longer in the industry, I can tell her about the ex-boss. ;-)

*SNUGS* You keep at it! Oh my, I used to love Parker Lewis, so much.

Thank you! And yeah, my brother and I loved Parker Lewis so much - when the first season came out on DVD last year, I got it for my birthday!
