Job Searching ...
That's me this week. I'm out searching for a job, any job. I'm applying for anything that I can find that I have even the faintest hope of ability to perform. I spent yesterday talking with people at a temp agency about positions they had listed. This morning I have an interview at 10:00 for another position with a company in Louisville.
I think that about everyone knows that my life has undergone serious upheaval and we haven't even gotten to the part where I have to pack up everything I own and move. I am trying to blog regularly, but I'm falling further and further behind in reading and commenting on your sites. I believe this too shall pass and I will at some point in the future return to my habit of wokring to maintain the Xanga connections that have supported me so well during this season of change. I learned recently that my failure to comment had at least one person convinced that I was upset with her. So I'm making my general explanation here because I want you all to know that I'm not being ugly to you in particular - I am equally neglecting everyone.
Thank you for sticking with me while I sort out my life. I'll be honest, the wisdom of Xanga is that if you stop commenting you lose subscribers. But in the six weeks that I have been pretty much absent from your comments section - I've only lost about 6 subscribers from my total. I have no idea who they are, I do peek at the number, but I don't look any further than that because I don't want to let myself worry over whether or not I've offended people. I can't take that pressure.
Wish me luck! You know the very very best would be some entry level position where I just need to answer the phone and have access to the internet so I can get caught up with my reading and commenting while I'm on someone's clock ... surely someone out there would pay me to bring my happy face to their receoption area every day just for my smile.
Then you would be a part of my success by the way that you bring that smile to my face while I'm reading. We'd be a team!

I needed a job in the evenings. Something I could do after my hubby got home. At first I was going to take a job at a grocery store where I worked 3 days a week 6 to midnight. Then, I got the job of my dreams for that time period. I was a receptionist at a car dealership from 6-9 and I answered phones, smiles, and went online. They even had to hire someone else to cover the hours from 4-5 that they originally needed as well. If I could receive such a gift, then you will as well. You will get just the right job to compliment you my dear.
If you speak as well as you blog, you'll impress anyone you interview with. Best of luck! And don't worry...some things are worth waiting for.
There's a lucky employer out there....soon you'll meet. Heh. You think you can get rid of me by not writing for several weeks!
You'll have to block me first.
Go get em, T.
It will come to you!
Try to take a minute to vote at my place today, though. I value your input on titling the column - a lot!
Love ya.
You'll make it.....
ive stuck it out..and I'll keep doing it!
Your life outside of Xanga requires more attention now. Don't worry about not commenting, you just do what you have to do! Good luck finding work, that has to be one of my most hated activities.
Good luck in the job search!!
I can dig it. Hey, since there are a few openings, *I'll* subscribe now. That'll get your numbers back up. And I know all about not having time to make comments. *We'll* be a team! Good luck on finding the ideal job. I know you will.
Great luck with the interview!
Mike
I pray God leads you the perfect job for you.

An interview already? That's great. Good luck and if they are smart, they'll hire you and promote you immediately.
Good luck on all fronts!
