How's everybody doing in this regard? Hopefully better.
That said, I'm not. I've been doing training for an at-home call servicing opportunity and been jerked around for the past three months. Studied, lost sleep, paid money I didn't need to, got equipment and am just being thrown into a mess of stuff.
Just insane. On top of this it really looks like my mom is about to be fired from her job. (It's been this way for over a year, constant threat of being fired/let go.) What the heck happened to the job market to make things so unbelievably cutthroat and dire? I know the economy is beyond terrible, I know everything tanked but to have everything become so completely cutthroat and impartial is insane.
sorry to hear about that.
yeah, my brother hasn't been working for the last
few months either. but its more of his own personal
choice also..
So I've started doing a whole other batch of job applications (my daily thing) while on the phone and chat with this stupid servicing company (who never answers anything). I'm even to the point of writing some more crazy last-ditch letters to places/people who I really admire in the hopes that I might get some kind of response. (not that I ever really do)
well, you have to keep trying.
i'm in a similar situation. so i know the feeling.
sometimes it seems like nothing is working.
but you have to keep trying or you'll never know.
I am just done with this whole thing. I did the film school thing and got chewed up by it. I know unemployment is what happens when you get out, but at this point I'm still just drifting about alone in the ocean.
How does one actually enjoy any part of being unemployed? I'm going nuts being stuck in one place with nothing to do.
well, you need to start working on all those
projects you used to wish you had time for.
that, or start keeping yourself busy and learn
new things to do.
i used to go back and forth with photography.
and lately, i hadn't done in quite awhile.
i met a girl that was a model, and of course,
my enjoyment of photography came back,
and we have a lot of fun doing shoots, and
other projects.
try something new, while you have the time.
when you get busy again, you might not have
the chance.
catch up on all those books you haven't read,
watch all those unwatched movies, catch up
on tv shows.. write a blog, draw some pictures,
paint, make some music... really, if you had any
hobbies before go back to them, or look into
new ones.. not everything is expensive or
requires money.
good luck.
later
