About me

I'm a mid twenty something woman living in New England with my two dogs. I graduated college in 2008, and by then the economy was tanking. It was not a good time to enter the adult world. I was originally going to Vet school, but developed severe animal allergies. After 7 months of allergy shots, that affected my liver and actually made my symptoms much worse, i had to give up that dream. Now I'm just trying to find a steady job. I had major reconstructive knee surgery in November of 2011, so I'm still healing.

In which I'm getting tired

I had another interview today. It's just covering a two week vacation as an administrative assistant, but I have to try for what I can get. I should hear about the job I interviewed for yesterday some time next week. That's the one I want. It's not great pay to start, but there's a lot of room for advancement, and it's full time with paid vacation. I'm really hoping to ring in the new year with a job.
With a potential ice storm coming my family cleaned out our gutters and put the driveway markers up. A bunch of geese and crows came by. They seem to have left before the bad weather hit.

In which my dog is okay!

I took my big guy Riot to the vet today. His lump was just a fatty/oily bump. No questionable cells in the aspiration at all. I'm so releived. Now I can stop checking it every day or so.
I also had my interview. I think it went well, but I've felt that before. Hopefully I hear back one way or another sometime soon. I hate waiting.

In which I'm worried

One of my dogs, the almost 7 year old, has a small lump on his back. Today I noticed it was bigger. Tomorrow we're off to the vet. I'm very concerned. I'm hoping it's just a fatty lump. Other than that, he seems fine. I also have a half day of envelope stuffing, an important interview, all before the vet,so it's going to be a long stressful day.

In which I work a few days and have an interview

I got a job for today, tomorrow, and part of Thursday stuffing envelopes. Yep, it's as exciting as it sounds. I'm just doing it to keep a good relationship with this temp agency. I have another interview at the insurance company I've been trying to work for on Thursday. It's a different position this time. Fingers crossed.

In which I have a phone interview (and one of my dogs turns three)

I think my phone interview went well. But I've been wrong before, so I guess we'll just have to see. I'm supposed to hear whether I move on to the in person interview early next week. I'm really hoping my job hunt can finally be over for a long time. I'm so damn tired and burned out from this. It's taking a toll in every way. Physically, financially, emotionally, mentally. Pretty much all the bad allys.
On a better note, one of my dogs has turned three today. My no longer so little Rottweiler/German shepherd cross. He's such a good dog.

In which I have my resume submitted for consideration

I've been applying to jobs everywhere. However, that's not to say I've been applying to every job. Thanks to some really bad knees, retail is completely out. I did it for nearly 10 years, and I'm physically, emotionally, and mentally kaput with the whole deal. Stick a fork in me.
So recently I've been working/applying for office jobs. I've mainly done secretarial and data entry. It's mostly sitting, inside, and has room for advancement. While I do a lot of temp work, it's not a long term solution by any means. So while I do those jobs, I apply to full time ones as well. I worked for an insurance company for nearly two months ending at the end of September. I liked it there. Amidst all of the other places I'm trying to find work out I've kept my eyes open for this opening at this office. I've been working with their recruiter, and have been on two interviews. So far, no luck. The recruiter submitted my resume for an entry level recruiter position that has become available. I should
know in a few days whether or not I get an interview. Fingers crossed.
