Mood: Unhappy

Not much has happened lately.  No jobs on the horizon…well I applied for heaps before Christmas but no word yet, I guess a lot of them I won’t hear about till after the New Year.

I hope next year brings me some kind of good luck, I really need it right now.

Things aren’t as bad as they could be, but it sucks being unemployed.  It’s been nearly 9 weeks now.

As long as I get to go on my holiday in February, I’ll be happy.

Nobody understands how important this holiday is to me.

I HAVE to go.

I feel like I don’t have anything else to focus on at the moment. 

I sleep in until about 11am every day because I can’t see the point in getting up.  I know that’s a bad frame of mind to be in, but this holiday means everything to me. 

It’s something to focus on and look forward to, instead of focusing on how much of a failure I feel like because no one wants to employ me.

Mood: Preeeety good

Mood: Angry

Well, I STILL haven’t heard from the place where I had the job trial.  I’m so p’d off.  If they say they need a week to decide, then decide in a damn week and don’t leave people wondering.  It’s so rude.  It would be nice to hear one way or the other but then again a lot of places these days don’t really give a stuff about anything but their own best interests.

I’ve applied for about 5 jobs off the Jobsearch website to a particular employment agency, I wonder – AM I APPLYING WRONG??  I have received no confirmation that they’ve received my applications – seeing as though it’s sent via email you’d think the easiest thing to do would be to hit “reply” and say “Thanks for your application…”.  And also seeing as though everyone else I send an email to seems to arrive, I can see no reason why this employment agency would not have received mine.  I might actually complain about them, they shouldn’t advertise jobs on the internet if they don’t have the capability to respond to any applications that come in.  And it’s not like I’m applying for jobs I don’t have the experience for!!!  It’s so frustrating. 

Mood: Doin' ok

It’s 2 weeks today since I had the job trial.  They were meant to be making a decision this week – they called me Thursday week ago and said it would be another week before they decided. 

I haven’t heard from them. 

I bet I didn’t get it and I’ll probably get another letter to add to my already extensive collection of rejection letters. 

I’m not concerned about not getting it, I don’t think I really want it, I just wish they’d be a bit more considerate.

I went to the employment agency today to discuss them putting my resume forward for a job at an x-ray clinic, it sounds pretty good.

Tomorrow I’m doing temp work at a solicitor’s office, apparently it’s a great place and the people are really nice.  And seventeen-fifteen an hour tops it off!!!! 

Tomorrow night should be fun, it’s my younger sister’s work Christmas party (I’m going of course!!), then after that we are going to go for a drive to look at some Christmas lights!  I’m really looking forward to it!

Can you believe Christmas is so close?

It’s scary how fast the year has gone. 

I remember last Christmas Eve, my younger sister and I had bought this reindeer piñata and some lollies to put in it.  We hung it up in the BBQ area to wait for Mum & Dad to get home!  When they arrived home a bit later, we went out to have a go at it!!!  Dad had had a couple of beers with his tea so probably didn’t need to be spun around or even blindfolded to be disoriented!!!  It was so funny, watching him walk off in the wrong direction, swinging at nothing!!!!  Then he brought out his sword!!!!  It was a great laugh!!  It took forever to actually break the piñata, it must have been made out of cement!!!!  I wish my big Sis could come home for Christmas!!

Anyway, I think I should head off and get some sleep, so I’m ready for my big day of work tomorrow!!!

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Mood: A bit happier

Well, I just had a call from one of the employment agencies, I have a temp job at a Solicitors office for Friday this week and Monday next week.  I'm also going in to talk to the manager of the employment place tomorrow about a full time medical receptionist position, so we'll see how that goes!

And yesterday when I went to the chicken shop, the owner asked me if I had the day off, I said no and told her about what happened with my job.  Then later, her husband asked my sister if I would be interested in some part time work at their shop!!!!

It's lifted my spirits a bit!

Mood: Angry, depressed

I tell you, this unemployed business is really getting me down.

I’ve applied for a million jobs and received a stack of rejection letters – what’s worse is those companies that don’t even bother to send them out, especially when you spend a lot of time preparing your application.  As for the government “assistance”, yeah, thanks a lot for all your help.  (By that I mean the “employment agency” paid by the government to get you into work).  My job guy’s attitude was “I’ll keep you in mind for anything that comes up within the next couple of weeks but after that I won’t, I’m sure you’ll have something by then”.  THANKS A LOT!

I hate this situation.  I hate having to be on the dole.  I just want to work.

I was meant to be going on holiday with my two sisters in Feb, I was REALLY looking forward to that but I guess there’s not much chance of that happening now that I don’t have a job.

I don't even have a good feeling about this job that I had a trial for.  They called me last week and said they were still interviewing people and needed another week.  Makes me feel pretty hopeless if they have to keep looking before they give me a damn answer.  But I guess they don't really give a stuff about anyone but themselves. 

So, I'll expect the rejection call/letter towards the end of the week.

Yes, I'm pessimistic and angry.  Certainly never thought I'd end up in this situation.
