Haha, brenda, I would totally do this!

askye, sorry the search has been so rough, but you definitely need to be putting yourself out there. Get yourself actually rejected! Get actual experience in trying! And hey, maybe one of them won't be a rejection!

Seriously, you're smart and totally capable of being a great employee, and someone out there is going to be lucky enough to find that out. But you've got to give them the chance.

So I've been kinda semi paralyzed with being overwhelmed at the stupid job hunt. And I didn't look for a job, no I looked, but I didn't really apply for any jobs for several months. I realized I can't keep doing this, but I just look at the job listings and think "no one wants me".

Hey, this is me and women!

So are you and Hec comparing notes, or what?

Heh, you know Hec & I are simpatico! But yes, it's good dating advice for you and (I think, or I wouldn't have given it!) good job hunting advice to askye. I believe in you guys! Go out and get 'em!

I know it's harder to do than say, but really, go!

Yes, go!

good for you for realizing what you were doing - and doing something- go askye.

sj I figured you would hear from the other seller , but not so soon. Ah well...

I'm putting myself out there, I found another job to apply for. I saw some signs up for retail jobs but I'm not sure how good I'd be at selling sports equipment.

I paid to get Penny spayed, it's more expensive than the state program but she'll get fixed next Thursday (rather than waiting for paper work to go through).

My other challenge is getting out and doing things (cheap things) even if I'm doing them myself. The town's winter carnival got cancelled (due to lack snow or any real winter) but there's a Chili Cook Off next weekend. I'm not entering, but I'll go and eat some chili, hopefully Will can go with me and if not, then I'll go by myself.

Or maybe see if anyone in the knitting group wants to go.

Good for you, Askye! I'm glad you were able to identify what you were doing and fix it. Good luck finding a job and in reaching your other goals.

Damn, I forgot Aromaleigh was back until after I re-ordered a BE powder foundation.

First-world makeup problems, I haz dem.

Upstairs neighbors have been coming in and out all day, slamming the doors hard enough to make my apartment shake a bit each time.

Get yourself actually rejected! Get actual experience in trying! And hey, maybe one of them won't be a rejection!

Totally what Liese said.

Yay for getting out in the world askye. I should look into that. Good luck with the job search.

Are any of us near Cranford, NJ?
