Getting things done I've managed to accomplish some things today. Not only have I managed to apply for yet another job, I must have applied to about 8 since the start of the year, but I have tidied my room up a little, replied to the email from the receptionist and set up a meeting with a recruitment agency tomorrow. Everyday I wake up and turn over knowing I don't have to get up. I have nothing to get up for and just can't be bothered. Although every morning I look for new jobs I rarely find any that I'm suitable for; within the admin field, in an estimating area (like before) would suit me down to the ground. Websites tend to put up the same advertised job time and time again just with different dates when they were added. I assume this is a way of getting more applicants, but I find it annoying knowing that I've applied and nothing is being done about it. Still, I can't get impatient. Good things come to those who wait and all that jazz. I know I've got some applications under my belt and feel much better for that, knowing I'm getting my CV out there. From a couple of these applications I've managed to sort out this meeting for tomorrow with the agency. I'm going to be adamant I only want permanent jobs as I'm on JSA and don't want to jeopardise that. I figure any help in trying to get an interview, let alone a job is very much needed. Plus all this can be added on my forms that I take to the Job Centre to show I'm actively seeking work. This evening I've managed to sort a little bit of my room out. The thing with my room is that it is full of crap, full of cuddly toys (yes I'm a BIG kid) so I have giant a giant Eeyore and Winnie the Pooh on the floor beside my bed, I have shelves and shelves full of Eeyore, Winnie the Pooh and Me to You soft bears and I don't want to get rid of them. They are me. But my room is at the same time starting to look like a nursery and I need to do something about it. I've tidied up the drawers in my two bedside tables and I've taken down the two posters that were on the back of my door. I've also managed to sort my array of earrings out and put them away as well as clearing the mug rings left on every available surface. I want to decorate my room sometime this year and want it to look a little more sophisticated. Things will change. Eventually. I'm also happy to write that we have a new set of bathroom scales and having weighed myself I am now weighing less than I was on the old ones. The scales are placed in exactly the same place as the others were so I'm taking this as a good sign. My being ill and eating little may have just helped me lose a couple of lbs. Great. I will write a bit about it in my diet diary. So it's been a good day for me. I'm feeling better after a bit of a rough night. Every time I lay my head on the pillow a coughing fit would start. I'm glad to say I coughed much less today than I did yesterday so I must be getting better. Mark is coming around tomorrow night or Saturday depending on how tired he is after his last night shift tonight. Working his shifts is something I don't want to even think about, they are bad enough from an outside point of view, I wouldn't want to work the bloody things. I don't know what we are going to do this weekend, other than look at Microsoft Access (for his job), neither of us have used it much before and now he has got to create something on it so we are having a nose around. How exciting!! |
