Where Was I????

I've been a very bad blogger. *sigh*

Been spending my time looking for work and trying to keep calm about the finances so I've been doing a lot of reading (the best escape there is!) and trying very hard not to be depressed about the whole jobless and no money thing. I figure it can only go up from here.

Anyone have any great ideas about finding work? At this point I need to get some influx of cash so am pretty much willing to do anything (well... probably not asking "doing you want fries with that?")

Still on non-voluntary vacation and now going on to month number 6! Ugh! But on the bright side, I have two phone interviews tomorrow. So let's keep those fingers crossed (and eyes and toes and whatevers). I'm hoping to then be able to move on to the next step... the face-to-face interview and have employment by the end of July! Wish me tons of luck.

Anyone have any ideas on how to increase luck? I've fung shei'ed my home, and my friend gave me a good luck candle to burn and some lucky money to place in my wealth corner. I think the more the merrier (and likely to work better)!

Non-Voluntary Vacation Again

Yup, it's back to my non-voluntary vacation get again. The contract has been completed and I should get another payday in Mid-Feb so the money won't be as tight as it was before. There was a bit of a discussion about possibly returning to this contract in a couple of weeks. We'll just have wait and see. It will definitely require negotiating a new contract, but we'll deal with it when it comes up.

I have updated my resume and have tossed it out to all the usual headhunters and I have a couple of irons in the fire, hopefully one will get hot soon.





In the meanwhile, this means I will have an opportunity to try to put a dent in the TBR pile, get some exercise, give my aching wrist a chance to heal (carpal tunnel is really aggravating, so its the brace until it calms down again), maybe even go on a little real vacation. We will have to wait and see.
