Perseverance

I’m still in the market for a decent job.  Last year, I was thinking that 2011 would be the year to finally get one.  I was quite busy applying for jobs.  Now that the year is almost to its end, I feel a little bit discouraged as to when can I really have that coveted job.  There were job openings for  Business Analyst Jobs and I was even offered to apply for one.  Unfortunately, it was located a long way from where I live.  I was once again reminded of the disadvantages of living in a partially rural town.  We don’t have any plans on moving to a bigger city.  I actually prefer living in this town and how serene and calm it is at night.  Though jobs are not as abundant compared to big cities, there are still job opportunities here and I just need to persevere and keep on applying.

One After Another

Yesterday, I was able to finish a task that has been stressing me out. Today, I had my doctor’s appointment. I’m finally off of my medications! Woohoo! I’m so happy. That means life will be normal again for me. I can eat all the greens I want and hopefully stop losing hair. I am now more than eager to get a job. If I can find work-at-home customer service jobs online, that will be awesome. Everything is going into the right direction which makes me so happy.

The Job Hunter

I’m still hoping that I can find a job this year. Two salaries are always better than one. After grocery shopping yesterday, we already spent most of the husband’s salary. Mind you, there’s only a small amount of “wants” versus the “needs” in there. But then again, that is not a full paycheck. I don’t want to keep on ranting about the lack of money because we do have money just less of what we need right now. More than the thought of buying more things, I’m more keen on saving. This trying times, we both learned that we are perfect for each other. One is good in budgeting while the other is good in saving. We plan to continue on doing that even when things are bountiful. That will really help us in fulfilling our long term plans like buying our own home.

For Hire

Recently, I have been really missing working in the corporate world. After two years of being a stay-at-home wife (not by choice), I’m so ready to start working again in an office. I miss the whole office environment – having a job, coworkers who eventually become your closest friends and of course, pay day!  Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to look for jobs right now but I’m still hopeful in finding one this year. If there is one thing I’m quite thankful for for not working is that I get to spend loads of time with the husband and also I was able to expand my hobbies.

Worst Jobs

This is of course a matter of personal opinion and preference. I used to complain a lot about my previous jobs. Yeah, I’m a stay-at-home wife right now. During my recent job search, I just suddenly started pondering about jobs that I will definitely get into. I salute folks who accepted these jobs and as what they always say, “It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it.”

Embalmer
The thought of a room full of cold dead bodies is enough oto scare me. Removing body parts is way worse and not just my cup of tea.

Elevator Operator
This job makes me claustrophobic. The idea of being trapped in a tiny little space and pushing buttons like a robot is just plain old boring.

Construction Worker
After all the laborious tasks, the pay you get can’t barely feed your family. The workplace is also accident-prone and you get exposed to materials that might have deadly chemicals like asbestos. After several years, you need to hire Mesothelioma lawyers because your doctor diagnosed you with mesothelioma cancer.

Crab Fisherman
I love seafood especially shrimps and crabs. Catching those nice big king crabs is not a walk in the park. Crab fishermen will have to battle out exhaustion with rough seas and bad weather.
