Unemployed, Day 15 - 18.
Day 15
Today I’m grateful for this beautiful weather, which gave me a wonderful walk today with with my dogs.
I’m happy that I still have health insurance, and will for a bit. I had a great conversation with a mentor today. He is a wonderful person, and the best part is I always know where i stand with him. Thanks for the advice — and for making me smile.
I’m also grateful for a wonderful email from a friend in Los Angeles who sent out a job seeking email to her contacts in Seattle.
Day 16
I had my first “interview” today. I used quotes because well. It wasn’t an interview — It was a sales pitch. I apparently found my limit. How do I miss the music industry. I didn’t even realize that I would miss it. Until i sat in an office this morning with a man telling me about selling insurance.
It is a beautiful day today! I love, love this weather. Plus our days are getting longer again — which is so fun. I miss the longer days. Last night I hung-out with my cousins. We played darts. I’m quite bad at darts.
Today - i’m just applying and applying for jobs. So many jobs out there no calls back. But I know something has to work out. I have hope.
Day 17


Day 10. I received my information for unemployment. My interview with the state of California on the 22nd. Thank goodness, maybe I will be able to stress a little bit less.
Today, I learned about a perk of being unemployed. The option to do something in the middle of the day if I want to. My sister-in-law celebrated her birthday today, and I was able to go have lunch with her and my brother. (They work at the same school.) We laughed and I was her surprise for lunch. As i drove away, I couldn’t help but think. Wow, I would not have been able to do this had I not lost my job on monday. Perk? i think so.
