I went to an appointment with a staffing agency that specializes in my line of work. They seemed a lot more professional than the one I went to a few weeks back (and have heard nothing from since). So I'm feeling pretty good about them. They have this thing on their website where they highlight certain candidates for potential employers to view, and they asked me to be one of them. So now I have to write something about myself to catch the eye of potential employers. I thought that sounded pretty cool.
While I was out and about, I decided to stop by the place I had called last week who seems like a good job, they're just not hiring until mid January. Anyway, I introduced myself and spoke to the owner awhile, and he seemed impressed that I had taken the initiative to stop by. Also, I had researched him and his company online, and was able to make some intelligent comments about his recently combining with another small company. He seemed pretty impressed about that too. So that turned out good too.
After I got home I called a couple of places the last guy I worked for referred me to (I had misplaced the piece of paper it was written on, but finally found it again). Neither was hiring, but one guy asked me to send him my resume, and said he knew of a few people he could pass it along to that may be looking. So that made me feel good too.
Finally, I called my Mom to ask her for another loan, which she agreed to. I didn't want to do it because she is getting a cash advance off her credit card. It makes me feel guilty even though I plan to pay it back including the interest. She just has so little I feel bad taking anything from her. But she keeps saying I'm the one who has always helped out everyone else (my brother, my sister, my nephew). But I still feel bad, I don't know why. I guess I just want to be able to take care of myself.
I've been off my meds about a week or two, so I know that's effecting my feelings. I'm trying to get some help with that, but it takes time.
Thanks everyone for your support. It helps so much!
