How I did it

How to find a new job

It took me

49 days

It made me

happy!

How I did it: I put in many, many applications (about 45, or so). I had a few interviews, but they kept resulting in nothing.My roommate confronted me, and told me I should try a place where she used to work that always seems to be hiring. I went in and filled out an application. I eventually talked to the manager face to face, and she gave me an interview on the spot last week. And today, after checking my references, she hired… Read how I did it…

find a new apartment

Boyfriend and I have decided to get a place... 4 months ago

So now we have to find an apartment that allows cats, because I WILL NOT leave my cat behind. I don’t feel right living in this apartment anymore. I feel like I put so much stress on my roommate while I was unemployed. And with my new job, money is going to be pretty tight. I thought all my problems were about to be solve, but they are just beginning.

Get off my meds (read all 2 entries…)

Less stress 4 months ago

Now that I have found a job, I feel more comfortable getting off my anti-depressants. I have lowered my dose to 5 milligrams a day, and soon it will be 2.5 five (a VERY small pill), and then I will be done. Hopefully it works out right.

learn to save money

Time to plan a budget... 4 months ago

If it is one thing I have learned during my unemployment, it is that saving money is very important (duh, right?). It is a huge goal of mine to be self-sufficient as soon as possible.

I finally got a job! I don’t have to move out of my apartment, and this is not a restaurant job! So it is something new! New is good.

I am going to have to work extra hard to save up the money I have spent over the last two months. I also have to pay my mom back.

I want to learn how to be fiscally responsible, so I can take care of myself in the future. The way the economy is now, it is important I learn to save.
