Day #36

i didn't update for a while again...i know...but i have a REALLY good excuse this time!

i've been absolutely buried in freelance and interviews! that's a legitimate excuse for not updating my unemployment blog, right? oh, and check this out:

Jobs applied to: 21

Interviews: 4
Jobs offered: 1

yeah, i was offered a job! now, before anyone gets all excited, it's a part time freelance gig. it's not full-time, i don't get benefits, and there is no guarantee it'll last. so, i'm technically still unemployed. however, i'll be working for this place all day tomorrow, and hopefully that will be a good thing...i need to get to know the guy i'm doing the work for, and then find out if i can continue to work for him.

i've also picked up freelance work from my last job...i've been working on that the past couple of days. my boss there said that he needs me back, but due to a retarded policy of the parent company, no one who has been laid off can be rehired. he's going to talk with HIS boss about that though, so we'll see what happens there.

had a phone interview today with a place hiring for customer service. it's not graphic design, but it is full-time...although it's only seasonal. certainly better than nothing! scored a "real" interview on Thursday, so i apparently did well on the phone interview today. if i can get this job, PLUS work up the freelance stuff, i could be doing quite well financially very soon. of course, by "quite well" i mean i can pay my bills and not have a panic attack when i look at my savings account.

regardless, things are looking up. i'm happier and more hopeful. can't wait for things to go back to normal...and STAY that way!
