Okay…this will be the goal I focus on for this month. Things have been busy at work so I haven’t done anything about this. Now that things are once again slowing down and the business is obviously in trouble I am once again placing this at the top of my goal list.

I work with great people. I listen to music most of the day, and I like my cubicle. But my paycheck is a joke.

i really want to find a good job..but i just dont know where to start..imso confused..

In this economy, I’ve had to take a pay cut, and my current job is dead end and lame. Not an original story, but I want and need a better job. I’ve been sending out resumes and I haven’t gotten a single call back. I don’t think my resume looks like crap, but I’m going to rewrite it just in case. I am very good at my job, and I tend to do well in interviews, but landing the interview in the first place is a challenge.

I indeed left town, and am now working in what should be a reliable stopgap position. It’s not something I want to do over the long term by any means, it’s mindless, it’s menial … it’s quite devoid of bullcrap. :) Due to the extremely high influx and outflux of migrants, it’s something I could come back to at anytime if I needed short-term work. And this should be in a lot closer proximity to more worthwhile job opportunities, and save a whole lot of money in the meantime.

It’s nice when a somewhat extreme plan such as this works out. :)

Or that’s what’s come to mind this evening. Like I said before, it’s not best that I prioritize staying here anymore. Although it’s not bad here by any means, there’s been no benefit to it for me. As good an opportunity as any to leave and jump this rut has just come up. And I’m leaving within a day.

I’ve been unemployed for over two months now. Unfortunately, I found out through 3rd-party means that it was bigotry and related misconduct to blame. It’s also severely hung up getting unemployment, due to additional misconduct. (Or in other words, in just a few short months, I’d apparently become the worst piece-of-**** employee one could ever be cursed with. The nearly FOURTEEN years I’ve been doing this kind of job apparently doesn’t matter. But when does look at the big picture as is necessary, and consider other relevant factors, then you realize bigotry is indeed in play here. If I were so bad, I would have had to have been fired at least 40 times by now--not exaggerating. I wasn’t…) Worse probably, the term “small business” has become a bigger cuss-word than ever, simply from being exposed to too much dirtbag conduct from assorted small businesses. I really want to think more positively of small businesses in general, but I think a few will have to PROVE it to me directly before it happens.

Getting to the point, I got The Call from a promising lead that had come up a few weeks ago, and am now de-unemployed. Only hours from now, I’ll be going to work out of town, and staying with relatives temporarily. And, as a benefit, this is very near the bay area: one of the areas I was already considering.

Aside from now having what should be reliable interim work, the future is quite unclear. And I see this as a big fat adventure waiting to be discovered and enjoyed. You’ll notice I’ve pulled down the “home” field on here. I’m leaving in hours.

I didn’t hear back about the graphic design job. It didn’t really feel right anyways. So I am still looking and applying. Maybe something will come up.
