My senior years

My last days are upon me... I'm 30 tomorrow. Time to officially lie about my age, since no one seems to think I could be 29.

Thirty is old as shit to me.... I better get a job offer this week so I can really celebrate.

I had four interviews last week... Lets go job offer! Hos need to werk, twerk, and get on the road to success.

I've been avoiding people because then I don't have to face the reality of 30. I have made the gym and exercise my best friend however. This seems to help relieve stress and the pain and intensity of a good workout gives me a break from the anxiety, woot.

never make the same mistake twice

not sure if this is possible...

however, interviewing and searching for a job has made me take a detailed look at who I am and what I have done right and wrong.

i was such an idiot in my early 20s, and i messed up my credit. these mistakes prevented me from receiving a kind of sweet job offer. so, after doing my research and having interviewed for several jobs in the past few weeks... I am a pro. I look up what the company policies are on credit checks, and I put it out there before it shows up and makes it look like I am hiding something.

I pay all my bills on time now, and have even started to settle old debts. I will not be making those foolish mistakes again. I nailed an interview yesterday for what could be a great job with huge amounts of upward mobility. I just decided to call HR today and speak with the woman who I interviewed with. It turns out they don't do credit checks and I am in the clear for my interview tomorrow! I am really proud of myself for being proactive and honest about the situation, if anything it makes me look like a straightforward and humble person.

In the past I would have let this get me down, but I am determined to be successful in life. The hard part of being successful is really trying to not make the same mistake twice... I'm getting better a this one.

Cheers to a job offer soonsies! :)

October

This is the month I turn 30, start my career, and sell myself out to the corporate world.

I feel like I need some good and original ideas to start my own business in the next 10 yrs... Because, if I'm not following my dreams, I'm just signing up to help someone else achieve theirs.

I gave up most dairy and gluten... For health reasons. I quit smoking, and I barely drink. This sounds so boring, but it makes going to the gym everyday so much easier.

I have a ton of interviews coming up, and I feel much better now... For a whole it felt like applying for job after job was a waste of time. Life is strange how things seem quite and then suddenly pick up.

I still want to move to LA but might have to hold off for a while unless I get a decent job there.

I was freaking out until I realized that I actually look and feel better and healthier at 30 than I did at 20. I also have a smarter and more conscious head on my shoulders than ever before. I actually think before acting, and I'm more focused on what's best for me.

This sounds so lame. I can promise an amazing Halloween party with my most fit self ever. I goes hard in that gym daily! Going on a hiking adventure Sunday, will post pics.

I just looked at my messages and apparently someone loves me... Who are theez random readers?!!! Maybe I should just forget all the crap and go for famous...

ATM

I drove through and made a deposit and went to the grocery store and realized before I got out of the car.... That I had left my card in the machine.

It was still in the machine when I drove back...

Benefits of living in a sleepy town, and being the most absentminded ever.

Taxidermy lovers dream

I just interviewed with this lady whose husband is a game hunter... She wants some cleaning help. I may consider it if the money is right.

Among the animals her husband has hunted and displayed in their home:

Giraffe
Hippopotamus
Lion
Several different kinds of deer and mammals with antlers
Grizzly
Bear
Javelina
Zebra

I'm sure I forgot some others but there were so many...

... On second hand... Do I refuse the job based on principal? I don't like endangered animals being killed just for fun... It seems like a disturbing hobby.

Did that just accidentally rhyme? Oh, and I want to be a rapper... It's a dream.

I want to be a

I just received the most glowing letter of recommendation, and I can't wait to apply or more jobs. Even if nobody reads it, it feels really good to have worked for someone who is so complimentary and confident about my abilities.

Might go into tutoring, or start a business doing that. I may have realized I really want to work in a more one-on-one capacity with several clients/students. I think it's what I'm best at.

Anywho, I am so excited to design and plan my Halloween costume. I think I want to be a forest fairy... With leaves and a brown skirt and top, and a way to work in lots of gold accents and a gold body chain and shimmer- really just a spectacle.The best part of this is the fact that I finally joined the gym and I can't wait to pound that treadmill like a little hamster. And perhaps hit the weights... After some instruction as not to injure myself. I have this fantasy of being strong enough to do a one arm push-up, and being in the best shape for Ho-low-ween.

There's a new baby in my life. :)

Jobz

Week 3 or 4 of my career search...

Had an interview. It was a no go. I think I was over qualified... I feel like being a nanny is below me now. The family seemed upset when I asked about benefits and health insurance... Ummm? Full time jobs should provide cost effective health benefits as well as life insurance, 401k opportunities, and other benefits. They probably hired someone without a degree who didn't want 25/hr.... And that's on the books. So I would actually make much less having to procure my own health insurance and having taxes taken out.

I may be interviewing for a job with CPS soon. Government jobs usually provide the best benefits however this would be hard work. I'm fine with working hard, but I get emotional when it comes to children and their well-being.

Anyway... I feel this is a step in the right direction. My uncle who is a high level CEO said my résumé is on point... But to make it two pages rather than one.

I'm ending this week feeling renewed and ready to go full force. Yea buddy.

On other news, my friend has a cute lil baybay... He's 3 weeks and just so good. I love that lil babe. He's so good and barely cries and just loves to be cuddled and given attention. :)
