No one has ever exclaimed, “I LOVE looking for a job!”  But I didn’t think it was going to be that tough.  I assumed a couple days contacting temp agencies, then surely someone would give me a job. 

And now, after three weeks of sending resumes, calling to see if they got it, calling again to see if they want to schedule an interview, going to interviews, filling out more information online, craigslist, indeed.com, talking to friends, calls to follow up, and anything else I could possibly imagine, I still have nothing to show.  Although my resume has gotten spruced up a bit.  So for all those lucky job holders out there, I am looking for work!  Let me know if you need somebody temporarily for a month or two. 

However, joblessness does have its perks.  I am becoming a craigslist tycoon, cleaning out the garage for Mom and Dad and making the occasional buck when something actually sells.  I watch a good hour (if not more) of HGTV and Extreme Makeover Home Edition a day, as well as enjoying limitless time on free, FAST internet–something I don’t get while on a ship.  I’ve caught up with quite a few friends from school, made multiple trips into Seattle, and started reffing (and hopefully playing soon) volleyball.

Wish me luck.
