Well here I am at eight weeks unemployed. I will hit that mark on this Wednesday (tomorrow)

In the previous post about my job situation I mentioned I was going insane....you have no idea. I am so far past that.

I don't have a boyfriend or a kid to distract me. I have all these walls of my apartment....and that is it. Oh and my kitties are here too.

I am about to lose my apartment. I am actually surprised I have kept it this long. I have had the money to pay the rent the past two months....this coming month, I am going to have to start borrowing from the parents. I filed for unemployment 6 weeks ago and as of Monday, March 24th they had not made a decision. Said it should be by the end of the week. I am lucky though, if I get it I can stay in my apartment. If not, then I have to hit up my aunt for the money to get out of my lease (about $1500) plus my rent for April. Then to make matter worse I have to move back in with my Grandma who is also housing my aunt and soon will be housing my uncle. It is a 3 bedroom house that is about 1100 sq feet. 4 people living there is going to be insane. I am again going to be confined to a room. But at least I will have a place to go.

So does anyone know how to get employers attention???? I have found that most places will not accept you going to their office in person and handing them your resume and application. It is all done online. Which throughly pisses me off. I have been on monster, careerbuilder, hotjobs and many others. I have heard NOTHING! I even have a recruiting company that is supposed to be helping me out. I haven't heard from them since I signed up with them. no jobs leads at all through them. What sucks about that is....On monster most of the jobs in my field go through this recruiting company. You can only talk to your assigned agent and no one else. What if your agent isn't doing their job?? In this case I can't so anything. Also I have applied outside my field. Like to customer service jobs. I was actually told by two companies that they wouldn't hire me because I was over qualified! I was like WTF??? if I applied for the job obviously I don't think it is beneath me to do it.

I re-did my resumes after consulting a professional as well as I redid my cover letters. So far nothing. I actually got more of a response from my other resumes. So much for the professionals.

Well if I find out that I don't get unemployment, I am going to go work at Circle K at night. Don't really have a choice in the matter. I need money. Also, my best friends company is hiring.

I am soooo bored out of my mind! SO I want to apologize lazypuppy! You have put up with me, especially this past month, and me thinking that you didn't care. I was so wrong! Thanks for just letting me vent and for the fact that even when you are exhausted you go out with me (like Monday...I know you would have rather slept and relaxed at home)

So I found this really cool website through a message board that I chat on. You can visit my city and then build your own. The more people that visit your city the bigger the population gets.

I don't know to embed a website on here...but I will give it a try. here is the address

Enjoy!

Well it has been a while since I have posted on here. I was working all day everyday until the 29 of January. That is the day I officially lost my job. And as much as it sucks I am relieved that I don't work for that company anymore.

But that leave me with no job and wondering how the hell I am going to pay my bills! It is more frustrating than anything. I apply to countless jobs online and I never hear anything. NOTHING AT ALL! The last time I heard from someone was over a week ago. I feel useless doing this and I am bored out of my mind. I am also to the point where I am getting on the nerves of my loved ones. I am down, borderline depressed and becoming broke quickly.

Seriously I have no clue if I am sane anymore...I am soooo bored, I just want to work. Problem is that I am in such a specialized field (Interior Design) that it is making me struggle more. And I can't take less money than I was making cause I need that much to stay afloat.

I am at such a loss. I hate this point.

Other than looking for a job and being frustrated, I am actually doing quite alright. I am sleeping better than I ever have and I am actually a little relaxed which is very odd.

I heard this great song for the first time today. And it is so TRUE!!!

Love Song For No One Lyrics
John Mayer

Staying home alone on a Friday
Flat on the floor looking back
On old love
Or lack thereof
After all the crushes are faded
And all my wishful thinking was wrong
I'm jaded
I hate it

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
Get here

Searching all my days just to find you
I'm not sure who I'm looking for
I'll know it
When I see you
Until then, I'll hide in my bedroom
Staying up all night just to write
A love song for no one

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?
Oh no way

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
I'm so tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
I'm so tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here oh yeah

You'll be so good
You'll be so good for me

Ok so they just lost 12-4 to the Phillies, but they had one hell of a series in Philly. NOBODY ever expected the rockies to be in the thick of it this late in the year. I must say that I think that they are going to fall short of the playoffs, but DAMN this was one hell of a year.

I remember at the beginning of the year, all the news people and ESPN analysts didn't give the Rockies a shot for anything. Basically they were saying that the Rockies will again be in the basement in the NL. WRONG! So maybe home grown talent isn't so bad!

The pitching is what has surprised me the most. We actually have consistent pitchers (thank god for Jeff Francis!) and our offense has finally been helped. Gone are the days of the 20-19 Rockies win, where no pitcher could get anyone out!

I'd like to say this. THANK YOU TO THE ROCKIES! You have made baseball interesting in Colorado again. Keep it up and you guys are rocking the house! AND who knows maybe you can turn heads in the NL and try to become the Wild Card!

OMG I was in Wal-mart the other day and Christmas stuff was already out! CHRISTMAS!!!! Already. I mean they had halloween in this little section, and almost one whole side of an aisle dedicated to christmas. This is a bit MUCH, don't ya think?

Although it did get me thinking. Every year when I send out my christmas cards (late by the way) I have always wanted to send a yearly update sort of thing...just because I am sick of answering the question when I talk to family at that time of year. So maybe I should start now by starting to write the letter and then add the things that happen in the coming months. I am a horrible procratinator...so maybe I could start this. HAHAHA! we will see.

Plus since I am broke just about every month I am thinking about saving as much as I can so I can get a few people some gifts.

In other new my apartment lease is up soon. I need to go and talk to management about how much my rent will go up. I pay $703/ month which is about $80-$100 per month below what market value is for my apartment. I am wondering if I could continue to pay what I am paying.

If my rent goes up...then I am going to have to move in with my grandma. I could get another apartment, but I would have to move in with Grandma for a month till I get my deposit back so that I have a deposit for the new place. Or I have to live with her for an extended time. WHICH will KILL me if I have to live with her again. I love my Grandma, but my Aunt is there 5 days a week and I CAN"T live with her. Plus I am almost 28 years old and I have enjoyed living by myself. My cats love it as well! They are more sociable and playful.

So I am apartment hunting and this weekend I am going to talk with my management company. FUN!

Just a line to tell you nothing special has been going on. I just work and that is about it.

I am hoping to find a new job, but nothing has been out there. And if by chance I hear about one...I apply and never hear anything. I almost hate doing it electronically because it is so impersonal. I would be open to tips on how to get recognized. I have re-written my resume and I follow up on everything. So I am at a loss as to why I don't get called at all.

In other news, I have been chatting with this guy online. His name is Chad. So far I like him, but I am a bit hesitant to meet him. Last time I showed up to met someone I got stood up...well I saw him there and when he realized it was me he left. So I am treading lightly. It is almost like I am afraid of that rejection that I will not even give it a try.

And on Friday and Saturday I got to watch Gregory (lazypuppy's little boy). My mom was impressed about how well I handled Greg and played with him.... She said that when I am ready to have kids, she knows I will do well. I love my mom so much! She really knows what to say. A lot of family members have been hounding me to get married and have kids. It is refreshing to know that my mom is not that type at all. But I had so much fun watching the little guy, cause I never get to watch him.

Oh and this past Sunday was a mini family reunion. It was good to see my aunt and uncle from Farmington, NM. It was also good to see my great aunt who lives near me. Despite the fact that many of us in the family are not talking to each other, this day went well. I actually enjoyed myself.
