Life

I really need to figure out a way to improve my life.

When I was around 25, I was living in an apartment with roommates (perhaps too many roommates) and working at a job I truly enjoyed.  It wasn't the best paying job, but the work was interesting, I was making great contacts, and I had great co-workers.

When I was laid off in the spring of 2010, I was so disappointed.  I spent that summer searching for a new full-time job.  When nothing came up by the time my lease was up, I moved back to my parents house, and continued the job search.

By the Spring of 2011, I had been on countless interviews.  One week, I had 5 in a row.  A couple weeks later, I got and accepted an offer.  The job ended up not being a fit for me, so I left after 6 months.  I got an offer from a local organization that I had been involved with for many years.  It's only part-time, but it's a good way to make contacts and keep busy while I look for a job that fits me.  I can't do part-time forever, and being broke is really stressful.

Until then, I plan to keep looking and tell everyone I know that I'm looking.  I hope that by searching and networking, I'll stumble upon the right opportunity.

Once I find a job, and start building up my savings account again, THEN I can look for a place to live.  I'd love to live alone, but that's pricey.  I've also considered buying something.  We'll just have to see how things progress.
