The subject is subjective... ;D

I need to update this thing more regularly so that it's actually a journal, not a series of lists of recent events.

So, I am still job hunting, but I'm doing much better with the way I'm handling it emotionally. I woke up one day and realized that worrying about it doesn't accomplish anything. Simple enough, right? But so hard to see when you're in the throes of despair. I'm still harassing the massage place- the doctor that does interviews was called out of town, so my interview is postponed. I have to keep on their asses though because no one even bothered to call to cancel my original interview that was supposed to happen last Thursday. I've also applied to Brighton Eggert Animal Clinic, which has openings for vet assistants and receptionists! I'm going to call this afternoon to bug them to look at my application. I have no idea how much either of these jobs pay, but if I can get at least 30 hours a week even on minimum wage I'll be able to survive. I'm pretty sure both jobs will pay at least $10/hour though, so woo hoo! If I get one. Which I will. Or I will get an even better job. :P

I've been filled with ideas lately, probably because I hadn't been writing for a while. Not just story ideas (although those have been clamoring for attention too), but random project ideas, ideas for self-promotion, and weird novelty product ideas. I've begun a new blog, but I can't tell you what it is about because my identity must remain secret... heheheh. Needless to say, I think it will be fun once I get the ball rolling on it.

I've updated TPaL successfully for the past three weeks! woo hoo! My readership appears to have gone down though, so I invested 15 dollars into facebook advertising. Meh, why not? Maybe an agent will come across it... hee... hee... Anyway I'm hoping to write a little bit every day until it's finished. Yesterday I did more editing than writing, but I did get a few paragraphs down. I need to temper my creativity- it's been wanting to burst lately, and that's why it's been difficult to focus, but I know I need to let it trickle out slowly or else the dam is going to break and the energy will flood me. Holy metaphors Batman!

Writing therapy tonight! So much good to talk about. Thank god I got over my mopeyness :P And thank all of you who have been so supportive while I'm going through this phase of unemployment! Your kind words have been invaluable to me ;-;

Oh, and one more thing. I've decided what I want the theme for my bachelorette party to be:





muwahaha!

Have you looked to see if UB and Buff State are hiring? Try checking the local school district to see if they need staff (admin assistants, receptionists, etc).

Good for you keeping up a positive attitude :-D Positivity does wonders in creating opportunities.
