So I’m really sorry I haven’t been blogging much lately. I really do have something to say but wanted to let it marinate for a few days before posting it here. (not that I have a huge readership-it might just make me feel better). My thoughts lately revolve around raising the bar and not taking the easy way out.

Currently (and luckily) I am working part-time doing something I love (teaching GED classes) while looking for my dream (live-with-it) job in higher education. Some days I just want to say forget it (ok more often than not honestly).

Some of the reasons why include…never hearing back from anyone  and if I do it’s an email saying I’m not qualified…seriously I have a master’s degree couldn’t someone hire me for a 30,000 dollar job….not asking for much. (a cute little loft in a decent sized city and maybe a kitten named Snakey-see I’m not a diva!) If I could only get an interview….oh well I know there are a lot of people applying for these jobs!

It would be easier to:

1) Stop applying to jobs….afterall I don’t hear back from many.

2) Be a sane person who doesn’t try to complete a marathon…but nope I’m committed

3) Feel sorry for myself while taking all kinds of naps and moping around the place.

But I’m trying to raise the bar/take the hard way out-if for no other reason than it will keep me from screaming very loudly!!

And believe me there are SOOO many days I want to take the easy way out (and sometimes I do) but for the most part I still believe that I am a qualified, well deserving candidate so I sloth on applying anywhere and everywhere possible. :) I just have to be the an optimist and believe that people are good and somewhere out there is a perfect job….well not a perfect job but one perfect for me. (I just wish it would come yesterday)

Besides the not having a job bit-life really is lovely and I’m happy. You might not have gleaned that from my post but I am! Employ me and I will be ecstatic!!!! (I’ll pay you)
