Well, today is Wed. and I spent most of my day feeling not as sorry for myself as I did yesterday. I've begun reading a new self-help book......"Happy for No Reason". Pathetic? Perhaps. But I gotta do something to get out of this ridiculous spiritual slump. I've been unemplyed now since January, and if you too are in this boat, you know it's not the Disney Cruise. It's more like the infamous up the river without a paddle kinda ride. "Where Oh Where, have all the jobs gone? Oh Where Oh Where can they be???? "
I just posted a suggestion on Oprah Winfrey's website suggesting she form a panel of experts and follow people like me around with cameras and document as we go through the cattle call of interviews. Perhaps they could propose tips or suggestions. I actually think this would make a fantastic reality TV show, but where to pitch it?
Anyway, my typical daily internet job search, was somewhat fruitful today. I actually landed an in person interview for Friday. Trouble is, with all this time on my hands I've come to realize that my six figure software sales career, really isn't all that fulfilling to me. I truly wish I could do something else. Something more creative. Something I'd be passionate about. But, when my feet land firmly back on the ground that is reality, I realize.....I just need a damn job. Probably should'nt push my luck hoping for something I'd actually enjoy too. I mean really, who exactly do I think I am anyway!! Not to mention, my book of enlightenment says that is not productive to complain. The Universe is on my side after all. What the hell else does one need to know!
Anyway, I intend to post my daily rantings relative to my ongoing job search including my experiences interviewing. Some of this is bound to be amusing. If you too have funny unemployment stories, please share. I think we could all use a laugh!!!!
