How Sqeeeeee! is the world today?! I know I've been out of touch, but I spent the better part of a month campaigning for the Obama campaign here in my very own neighborhood (Westside Vegas, read:ghetto) and I have to say, I have never felt happier of more fulfilled with any work I have ever performed in my life. Including working for the Disability Resource Center or the substance abuse counseling agency.
After the first few days I was promoted to Phone Bank Coordinator, with just shows that a know it all pedantic does has a place in this world, and that place is training new people. (smiles)
I've pretty much been riding the high since Nov 4, went to the party at the Rio and everything.
After all that, it is awful, just AWFUL to be unemployed again. I loved going to work every day. I loved having a fixed schedule. Well, not so much fixed as 10:00am to whenever after midnight the work was done. I worked my ass off and enjoyed every 12 to 15 hour day of it, and I miss it so much now that it is gone.
My own personal job search since then has gone abysmally, but....whatever, we are all in post election let down, and unemployment in Nevada is as bad as it's been in however many decades, so...whatever, cry if you want to.
I'm now thinking military jobs aren't so much the (figurative, for I am agnostic) work of the devil as opportunities for single parents to find consistent work in this downward spiral of an economy. I wonder if being somewhat (in my mind morbidly) overweight will bar me from it? I gained so much weight in Alaska, and am only beginning to lose it.
So, that's where I'm at now, please throw me a comment, pple and tell me where you are at now that we are all due for our free unicorns and rainbows in the new administration!!!
Love and misses,
