feeling down
Am feeling very low-energy this week. Bored at work, but have no motivation to fix my situation. Applying for jobs when I know that I'm one of hundreds for each position seems pointless... but at least applying increases my odds of eventually being noticed! It's just so hard to keep up with it.
I have no money to attend the high-priced association events (=networking opportunities), so I have little way of getting "out there" at those sort of things.
Yesterday I realized that next week will be a short work week (off Thurs & Fri) at the daytime temp job, so I have to pray that I get extra hours at the retail job to compensate... if not, December is going to SUCK, especially the first week.
Sounds like I have somewhere to go for Thanksgiving dinner in Mke, provided I don't end up working the retail job - Merouda's. Yay!
Good news is that it sounds like I can work the daytime temp job both holiday weeks in December (the week of christmas and the week of new years) even though the company is mostly shut-down between christmas and new years... provided there's work to be done, of course. I may only work half-days on those Thursdays, but work eight-hour days M-W, unless I'm really strapped for the cash...
Gawd, it feels like my life sucks right now. Where am I going? How am I going to get there? I feel so disconnected from the working world in Milwaukee - how am I ever going to find a decent job (especially in this economy)???
Egads. Maybe I should join my plants under the lamp (theoretically a UV light) for a few hours tonight...
EDIT: hahahaha! here's my "horrorscope" for today...

Dear Jennifer, Here is your horoscope for Wednesday, November 18:
Your mind is ranging far and wide as you try to figure out what's really going on.
You may need to get intensely philosophical about one issue in particular, and your brain is up to the job!
