Matching up Last night I got an email from the witch (receptionist) and it just confirms that all of you are right, and that I should leave her behind. Dammit! Hi Claire--thought I would mail you as I can say more on here than in a text! She is still going on about the place, and although she probably thinks she is being nice and letting me know what's happening, it's getting annoying for me. I don't feel I can ask her to stop telling me things as I don't want to be seen as sour. I'm getting fed up with talking about her and the old job. I am looking ahead and moving forward, but I don't have anything to be excited about. I'm still job hunting and checking the websites and papers daily. I've applied for a few since Christmas but haven't heard back from any of them. I did send an email yesterday to see if one recruitment agency had received my applications for a couple of jobs. Unfortunately the only person who can help me there is off ill and so I won't hear from them until she is back. Another agency requested I send my CV and my general search criteria over to them on Friday but I still haven't heard anything from them either. Maybe I'll find something at the Job Centre today on the computer things, although as of this morning the only one in my area is one I have already applied for. Why do they keep re-entering them on the system, is it to get more applications in? I'm keeping my hopes up and not letting it get me down. I know I am doing all I can. There are not many recruitment agencies based in my area, and the ones we do have are based more around temporary work. We all know how well that worked out for me last time, don't we? I don't particularly want to do temporary work at the moment. As I am going to be getting JSA I'm unable to do the temping work at the same time, and ideally I'd like a permanent job. Maybe in a month or two when my options seem to have run out, I'll sign up for temping work. Money is money afterall, whichever way it is received. I just don't want to fall in to the trap like I was before. Waiting around for over a year for work and only ever getting one job. I'm not counting it out completely, but I have some savings at the minute and if I get JSA I'll be getting a little in, enough for me to live off, I'm not exactly spending it like there is no tomorrow. No, my last experience of being out of work taught me to save and spend my money wisely. Not only that but seeing my sister get in to so much debt drummed in to me how important saving. This will continue, even while I'm not earning that much. Enough about work and money. It's boring. I don't have a fully planned week. Everyone is back at work, and I have no friends to see so I will be spending my time at home. Mark will be around at the weekend and we are spending it here. I won't get to see him for a few weeks after this so I better make the most of it. It might be time to pull out all the stops and use some of the beauty stuff I got from Christmas. I might even wear a set of matching underwear for once! |
