I am sinking in the mire.
I think I'm going into a post-move depression. Or maybe it's just girl stuff. Yeah, that's probably it, honestly. But the fact of the matter is that I am simply unmotivated to do anything, I want to sleep all the time, and I'm feeling rather down about the job prospects here. I find it difficult to believe that someone with my maturity and job experience doesn't have folks beating down her door.
I always do this--start out feeling very confident and excited about finding a new job. The world is my oyster and I can do anything! Then after about the 10th resume/application I start to question my self-worth. Most places don't even bother to call me back. Every now and then I'll get a postcard or email saying "Thanks, but no thanks." This week it was the American Heart Association (hiring a Project/Event coordinator) and a place called CapPlus Technologies (hiring a front office/admin...but hey, they're *really* close by). The bottom line is that I want and need a job, and although I am fantastic, I can't find a job. This upsets me.
Give me about a week or so, and I'll probably still be unemployed, but my mood will be much better. :P
In other news, our little man Bucket has had The Operation. He is now officially an "It". I will never again refer to him as such, but it is true that he has been neutered. I was running errands Tuesday and came across a clinic for low-cost spay/neuters...we'd been meaning to have him done for a while now so we jumped at the chance. He's handling it surprisingly well. The hardest part is keeping him from playing and acting crazy; he feels well enough to roughhouse, but that's a strict no-no. I've been trying to occupy him by teaching him how to hold a treat on his nose. It's not a tug-of-war, but it seems to wear him out just the same.
and with that, I'm off.

Hey, make the 'most' of your free time. Join a cult! Bob Dobbs (tm) is a good place to start: http://www.subgenius.com/
Just as good would be to *start* a cult. G'wan, you can do it! But if you'd rather not, you could at least think about being an entrepreneur. Start your own business. Be independent-minded! Or do some *major* goofing off, so that you have a stockpile of memories to look back on when you're stuck in the workaday world once again.
So, this is no time for depression! Get Happy! See? I'll bet you feel better already.
Alternatively you could take the advice spray-painted on Morrison Street as it crossed over the I-405 sometime in the 70s: be boring, be deathlike, be Eva Lake. Strangely enough, Eva Lake is immortalised by that epithet, whether or not she found fame or notoriety elswhere. The only problem is that it takes decades for that kind of status to develop, and I reckon you want something to do *now*!
Hey Kerri,
Steph said to check out PetsMart. Their Headquarters is in Phoenix and she said that they were hiring for some office positions earlier this week. She said that you can just apply through the website www.petsmart.com or call 1-800 petjobs. You can use Steph as a refrence if you want :)
I hope things pick up for you. We miss you guys.
Chris
