Day 42



So now is officially ending (at least worktime wise) day number 42 of my layoff. I've sent out 67 resumes. I've had 2 official interviews, and a couple of chats. I have, out of all that, one prospect for which I am waiting to hear back from. I give that one at least till the end of this week, then I guess I lose hope since that interview was on the 23rd of September.

The next level of school for my apprenticeship is coming in November, which I have already booked and put the tuition in for. If we get much closer to the backout date for that, I'm gonna say fuck it, and put off my job search until I get back from school. Then at least I'll be one step closer to being done my apprenticeship, which seems to be keeping me from getting a job.

Basil For Your Morning

Morning everyone. Now is the time when the credit card company is starting to call about past due payments. Yay, this is where unemployment becomes fun. Hopefully my EI can cover most of what is needed to catch up, certainly won't be all of it. Oh well. It's a nice day here, NHL season starts for my Vancouver Canucks in 4 days, so there's some things to be happy about and look forward to. Last nights dream included me trying to figure out a way to buy a $5000 model excavator. They exist. It runs on batteries, but has working hydraulics and everything. Man I want one of these.

*fucking drool*

Waiting For The Call



I swear, this has to be one of the worst feelings in the world. You've had interviews, sent out dozens of resumes, and all you can do is sit, and wait. Wait, and wait some more. You stare at the phone, willing it to ring. It doesn't. I hate this. I keep checking my ringer to make sure it's on, I check my phone to make sure it's charged. I go nowhere without it. Everytime it buzzes or makes a sound, I jump, and it's a text message. Or a facebook random update that someone likes my status. Aggrivating. It's like waiting for a chick to call. This sucks.

"I Didn't Do It"



Good morning, followers and those who stumble through. So begins week 2 of the blog to end all blogs. My search for a job gets fired up again this morning, and so far, as usual, nothing to report. Phone isn't ringing, haven't seen any new ads to reply to, and the incoming emails are nil. So the most exciting thing I get to do today is go and get cat litter. Oh and do the dishes. I guess I could watch more of The Wire... Stay tuned.
