I got another call from the local employment agency that I'm working with. This time it was for a job as an office assistant with accounting knowledge. This sounds closer to what I'm looking for. I have what they called a working interview next Wednesday. This gives me enough time to recover from the plague that I currently have.

Please let this work out.

Nope

I called this morning. The job would barely cover childcare costs and was another receptionist job that was only going to last until maybe mid-December.

I turned it down. I'm not sure if that was the right thing to do.

I got an email from an agent at the employment agency in town asking me to contact her about a job opportunity. The agent I was assigned to pretty much just dropped me. I don't think she ever got a sense of what I was looking for. It was quite frustrating to be presented with all sorts of different reception jobs when I had two bachelors degrees. I know we all have to start somewhere, but answering phones is probably not the best use of my abilities.

Here's hoping that this is something promising.

More school?

In yet another confused move, I registered for an information seminar at one of the universities in Nashville. It's not exactly where I was wanting to go, but if I wait until I can get into a position to go to a school that I really want, I'll accomplish nothing. Or at least whatever I do accomplish will be put off by another who knows how many years.

It's probably better to go on with school right now. Maybe work at the daycare during the day, classes at night. I get to see my kids and continue on with what I want to do in life. This is a good thing, right? Will I change my mind again tomorrow?

I guess it's time to start studying for the GMAT.

Detour

Yesterday I went to put in notice to the boys' daycare. They're doing so well there and they love it. I just can't afford it any more. Instead I came out with an application to work there. It's not the direction I was looking to go in, but it's something.

I asked Thing One what he thought about me being a teacher at his school. His eyes lit up. I guess that makes the decision for me.

In the past week I have

-interviewed with yet another staffing firm. This one is just as promising as the others. Everyone tells me the same thing. It's not a market that wants some one with no official experience. They'll try to find some way to get me in.

-had my father-in-law networking for me. He passed on my resume to some of his old friends in Nashville. Hopefully they can help.

-started my training for Relay for Life's online chair. I got to send out a mass email introducing myself. I really have no idea what I'm doing, but it's going on my resume.

-still not gotten a job.
