It has been a while since I wrote in this blog. There really hasn't been much to say. I finished counting unemployment weeks when I finally got a job last October. It didn't last long. I then had another job which lasted a bit longer. I am now working as a freelance writer....the emphasis on free.
I tell myself that it's okay. I shouldn't mind working for peanuts if my work is getting out there. I tell myself that the more I write, the better pay out I'll get. That's true.
I have for the most part given up on finding permanent employment outside the home. I admit that I'm totally burnt out with the job search as it's been way too long since I've had a real job. Employers pass me over, and the interviews I do get are unfulfilling for me and for the employer. I tell myself that there has to be an easier way to get a well paying permanent job without sacrificing my health and/or my morals. Yes, the employment picture right now appears rosy. Yes, I'm feeling the pressure to take any job just so I can have money coming in.
It is too easy to wallow in despair not knowing what tomorrow will bring. The questions keep popping up...Will I be able to stay where I am? Will I have enough money to pay my bills? Will I ever get a full time fulfilling job? None of this I know now...
