Happiness day... heck I think I'm on day 30!
I spent most of yesterday fretting unnecessarily. However, I was able to accomplish a lot. My filing cabinet is coming along VERY nicely- I'm ready to start stenciling on one side now, woo! It's a weird looking art project that isn't very well defined; other than the "bubble" stencils I'm doing it all free-hand. I can't wait to see it done and finally use it as a filing cabinet again. Painting on it and thinking how I'm going to make it awesome always makes me very happy. Working on it is my version of therapy right now. After that I was so anxious and bored I ended up kicking ass on cleaning my living room. Got Murphy Moose inflated and mounted on the wall - he's creepy enough to begin with but now when the fan comes on through the vent, it blows on him and he shakes his head back and forth at you. Silly moose head. I also got my white board hung up finally. And cleared an area so I can put up shelves and organize my books. My apartment is starting to look more like home!
Today I've been thinking about my friends who have been so supportive in my job quest. I'm really happy to have such a strong support network of people who care about me and who I really care about. I look forward to being in a better position in the near future so I can return the favor in any way I can. I'm especially thankful to a couple of really awesome dudes who took a chance on me and threw me some contract work. It beats the shit out of temping and pays better too.
Though speaking of temping, I have an interview with LK Jordan tomorrow, another temp agency. I figure after what happened last week with Officeteam and the Driskill, it was best if I branched out to other agencies who might have better lines on call center gigs or something. I'd like a nice part time call center job; it seems like a good gig to have while I'm in school.
School! Oh my god school is making me happy right now. I figured out what I want to go back for! My associates in graphic design! I had considered electrical engineering after some encouragement from my old boss at Bosch, but after these career tests I've been taking, it looks like graphic arts is something I would be much happier doing.
Soooo here's hoping that will work out for me.
Having "a plan" makes me happy.
And so we are at the end of my month of writing about what makes me happy.
I don't think I'm going to stop at a month though. Having to write about things that bring happiness to me has been a good exercise, especially on the days I feel really depressed. It brings a whole new perspective to life.
