I'm getting out of the house for a couple of days! One of my best friends, Amanda, moved to a suburb of Lexington last year and I don't get to see her that often...so I'm heading down to see her and her family tomorrow and Friday.
I have been going crazy in this apartment all the time and now I finally get to get out of this place for a while.
Don't worry, Diana...I will be back in time for your jewelry party! I wouldn't want to miss it!
I hope everyone has a nice Thursday and Friday... I know I will!

Thank You!
Sarah left this comment on my last blog.....
"I will continue to pray for you! You are such a cool girl that any employer should feel lucky to have you."
This quote got me to thinking. Missy said the same thing to me tonight about how these employers don't know what they are missing out on. That really makes me feel good!
I just want to say to Sarah and Missy.....THANKS!
Missy knows how down in the dumps I have been these past couple of days and these are just the words that I needed to hear. I'm going to apply for jobs like it's going out of style tomorrow. I'll admit that I haven't had my heart into applying for jobs these past couple of days and I'm letting my bad mood get in the way. No more of that! I'm tired of being a failure and I'm going to find the right job for me! God is going to show me where to go and He will bring the right job to me. I just have to keep believing!

Random Thoughts.....
I'm just sitting here wondering why in the world I'm still awake at 12:55am??!!??? I just don't know what to do with my schedule anymore. I'm having the strangest dreams at night and it's causing me to not sleep very well and I'm bored out of my mind! I have no money coming in, because I just can't find a job that I'm qualified for, so I don't want to go out and waste gas in my gas guzzling truck! I'm going out of my mind and there are only so many jobs you can apply for in one day and there are only so many people you can call in one day. I'm going insane! I'm trying to have a good daily schedule so that when I do go back to work, maybe it will be easier for me to get back into the swing of things. I'm trying to get up no later than 8am so that I can get my daily job searches done during business hours. But it's just not working!
I'm going to try to go to bed, now that it's 1:02am...and we'll see what tomorrow brings! Have a great day, everyone!

Boredom
Here I sit...with nothing to do other than apply for more jobs. The good news is that I keep finding job ads online to apply for. I just wish that I would get phone calls from all the people that I'm applying for. I have an appointment tomorrow at 3pm to meet with TRAK staffing. The lady I talked to today said that they have temp-to-hire positions as well as direct hire positions and she told me that with my office experience, they are very excited to work with me, so I just pray that something comes out of this appointment.
I did get out of the house for a little bit today. My wonderful Mom, came over to my apartment today to take me out to lunch and go shopping a little bit. She only works two short days a week, so that gives her time to come and visit me. It gets boring talking on the phone all day and applying for jobs online. It's too cold to go out and enjoy nature, so I feel like a cooped up chicken...LOL.
I would love to find something that I could do around the house to earn money. I kept thinking about selling stuff on Ebay, but Missy and I sold all our stuff for that HUGE vacation that we took last month. I just wish it was easier to bring in money.
Well....can you believe Christmas is right around the corner? It's sneaking right up on us. I can't wait to spend time with friends and family! The only thing I want for Christmas........IS A JOB!!!

Job Search
For the past two days I've been sitting in front of my computer trying to come up with a killer resume. I've been going to all kinds of websites trying to find resume samples and good formats to base my new resume on. So far, there has been no luck with applying for jobs, but there is still time. I just hope that something comes thru eventually. If anyone can help me with my resume, please let me know!! I'm desperate!

What now?
Where do I start? For those of you that don't know, one of my trends this year has been going to concerts. I went to a concert on Wednesday night for one of my favorite country artists, Chuck Wicks. So, I was out until about 3am that night and had to work on Thursday morning.
I went to work on Thursday morning with only 3 hours of sleep that night because I promised my boss that I would be there. I walk in the door and my boss is standing there and I told her (very cheerfully) that I'm tired, but I'm here. The only words out of her mouth are, "You're tired?" I said, "Yep! But I'm here!" The next thing she said was, "Jerry wants to see you in the training room."
For those of you that have been reading my blog, there was a rough spot a few months ago with me being critisized for every little thing I did at work and I felt like there was just something they wanted to find on me so they could get rid of me.
Well, I go to the training room and Jerry instructs me to go to his boss's (Dan) office and have a seat. I'm very confused at this point. I keep thinking...why am I talking to Dan? So, Dan starts telling me that he has a letter that he needs to read to me from our CEO/President. Dan starts reading the letter and basically tells me there is a group of people that they are letting go because they have to downsize.
Then I get escorted back into the training room where there is a group of about 10 people. All 10 of us have just gotten fired! What's up with this? At first I was kind of relieved that they didn't just find something on me and they were firing me. I later find out there are firing 21 people. I did get a descent severence package, but how is that going to help? What am I going to do? I need a job and unemployment rates have skyrocketed! I don't get it, but now it's just something else that I have to hand over to God and let him handle. Hopefully something is out there for me, but what?
Where do I go from here?
