Life and things
This summer has really kind of been working itself to a hugely disappointing finish.
I helped get my sisters off to college 2 weeks ago and was given 2 weeks notice at work the day after I got back, and since then I've just been kind of working and dreading writing cover letters and revamping my resume and just dreading the whole process of being unemployed again.
After college I worked at several minimum wage jobs up in Abilene before I moved back home to Austin in 2008 (I think). And I spent a great deal of time unemployed then, thanks in part to no connections in town/really bad emotional state/transportation issues/and so on and so forth. There was a lot going on then. I did get several freelance jobs, writing and editing and actually using that degree I spent so much time and money on.
And then earlier this year a friend of my mother's said her husband needed some help in his office and would I be interested?
I love regular employment, I love going into an office and having a place to do work that is not my house. I yeah I might whinge about not wanting to go in and too much faxing and things, but I infinitely prefer that to working at home.
So today is my first day of being unemployed once again.
Fingers crossed that the few things I have lined up come through for me, because I don't think I can take it otherwise.
