I realize that I do not write in here often enough. Going only a month without writing is actually a record for me.
To say that things aren't stressful for me would be an overstatement.
Long story short:
Still no job
Enrolled at NOVA again
A lot of stress on my parents behalf (nothing to do with me)
.......I am only exposed to it because of the fact that I still live with them
Personal life is pretty depressing
I have not had a job now for about six months. I applied for a job in the county government. Still waiting to see what will happen there. My resume is still under review. Hopefully, I will hear something soon.
One of the reasons I am back at NOVA is to get training in another field since my job search in the paralegal realm is not going so well. Starting on Monday, I will be starting an online course, Survey of Criminal Justice. If all goes well, I will try to get a National Security Career Certificate, which NOVA offers.
This afternoon, I received a phone call from a recruiting agency in Tysons Corner, one I have never worked with before. They had a potential job for me out in Sterling. I believe the position was Legal Compliance Analyst. It would have been 9-5 for the first month and then it would have changed every so often to a scattered schedule which might require me working weekends and evenings, not always from 9-5.
Here's where the conflict arises:
For the time being, I had to turn down the position. The reason is because I don't know what is going to be expected of me in my online course. I can't commit to something without knowing all the details ahead of time. Fluctuating hours might throw off my sleep regiment which is not good for someone with epilepsy. Of course, I know what is coming if I mention this to my mom. I will probably be scolded somehow for not taking the offer. Again, I can't commit to something right now until I know more about this course of mine.
My personal life can wait for another entry because I really don't want to get into it right now.
