Acceptance
I haven't come to terms with the fact I've been laid off yet. I thought I would be able to jump right back into looking for a job but I can't. I feel like I'm being forced into looking for a job and I don't like that. If I was looking for a job because I wanted to quit or got fired, I'd be more accepting of the fact I need a job but because I didn't get fired or quit, I haven't accepted the fact I need a new job.
Since I got laid off last Thursday, I've already had two job interviews set up, one in Fremont and the second one in San Leandro..umm near Oakland...San Leanadro is like Oakland part 2. I forgot about the first job interivew and I cancelled on the second interview. The first job was assembling kitchen stuff but it was only 13 bucks an hour and with commute being about 40 minutes or so...not a good idea.
The 2nd job interview was..I think working with pro sports teams with marketing but the ad for the job on Monster.com was really vague. Plus I couldn't be told about the pay rate over the phone so I kinda didn't want to make a 30 minute drive without knowing was excatly I was interviewing for and the benefits of it. I did that once before and I was really pist because I drove from Benicia to Livermore basically to be told I wasn't good enough for that company.
I think I'm getting depressed over what happen with my job. I'm staying up really late again and sleeping until about noon or later, I really don't feel like doing anything productive, and I'm getting bored with things really easily. Hopefully I'll feel a little better after the weekend is over.
Either Friday or Monday I'm going to head over to Benicia and apply at Dish Network. It's 16 bucks an hour, and I get benefits, along with getting trained, a van or truck, and tools. It'll be a good job if I can get it. I'm also going to hand a resume over to Ali and see if her job would hire me. It's 12.50 an hour, so it's a little less than what I was making at Design Select but it's right down the street where I live and(!) it's data entry so that would be a great job to get experiance in as people normally pay in the 12 dollar to 15 dollar range for data entry people. But before I get a resume to Ali, I have to update my old resume and get it printed out...and that's a work in progress.
Hopefully things will get better soon and I can get out of this depression I'm going into.
