August 5
I'm really starting to worry about getting a job. I have sent in resumes for about 25 jobs and I have only had 2 contacts from them. One was a no, I wasn't qualified, which I expected since it was for a job I have never done before. The other was a job at Target HQ. I had a phone interview, but it never went any farther than that, which again I expected after the interviewer asked me what my current salary was. When I told her, she said she couldn't match that. I was surprised that Target doesn't pay better. The job description was basically the same job I was doing at AMP.
I hope something turns up soon. I thought having some time off would be nice, but instead I feel guilty being home while Rob is earning the money. I did get my severance check and that will cover what would have been 11 pay periods or 22 weeks so we're OK money wise for a while.
I did get a part-time job working for the city as a recording secretary for all the city meetings. Not exactly exciting or something I am even really looking forward to, but I want to be making some money and after 2 weeks out of work, I'm already bored and going stir crazy at home. I would go shopping, but of course I can't spend money, so that isn't fun, and I've gained about 12 pounds in the last 3 months so shopping for clothes isn't fun either. I can't seem to motivate myself to exercise again. I went for a couple of bike rides, but then the weather turned into a humid heatwave and once it broke, I still didn't go out for rides.
Robbie's make has been hurting him for about a month now and it too is driving me crazy. He can't do anything and he has been missing a lot work, which always worries me. I want him to get better and stop being in pain.
Today, I was at the mall to get some hair goop and there was a 'giving tree' for school supplies for underprivileged kids. I felt really bad that I couldn't choose a name and pick up some supplies. That is something I normally wouldn't have thought twice about.
I need to start enjoying my time off and stop feeling guilty. Some things I want to do are work in my craft room, bike ride, go to the club and work out, clean the house (not fun, but needed).
I have an interview seminar next week to help me prepare for interviews (assuming I ever get one) and I money management seminar the week after. And I have 2 Blaine city meetings this week, so I'll have some paying work to do as well.
