I'm feeling better about life and myself in the past few days. Although I'm still incredibly lonely and bored, and dying for some social interaction, I'm trying my best to keep my chin up and focus on the future.
I devised a new job search plan, seeing as my last one wasn't getting me anywhere. I'm looking more into PR/Marketing agencies rather than large corporations because I think I'll have more to offer as an entry-level employee, plus I think I'll learn more in an individualized setting. I've got a couple of connections in the works, but I still have to take things day by day.
Things are average in Boca. The weather has been gorgeous since Ernesto -- blue skies, white fluffy clouds, very sunny. I'm excited that summer is on its way out because I love it when the weather cools down.
My job still pretty much sucks. I'm only working half-days, but I'm so bored when I'm there. For whatever reason, my boss doesn't give me substantial work to do. Whenever he does give me an assignment, it's menial and takes minutes. And it's not like I haven't been persistent with him. I feel like every other day I'm asking him what I can help with, telling him I have nothing to do. I'm almost tempted to quit altogether and take a full-time job at the mall or something, but I would make the same money full-time there that I make in a half day here. And so I suffer! Hopefully not for too much longer though. The buzz is that companies don't tend to hire much over the summer when things are slow, but that they switch to recruiting mode in the fall. Here's hoping someone will recruit me soon!
