back to checking for work

What was really interesting was a post put up and simultaneously cut off as far as people submitting. I haven't checked the phone lines, as that tends to get slightly confusing with the multiple posts that were never bothered to have been erased. That cuts into my phone time waiting for each message only to hear repeats of things outdated and no longer open. Sheesh.

What's the point of having a hotline if you can't update it in a timely manner?

I'm telling you, it's getting rough out there and the attention to detail clearly shows the franticness or lack of attention to detail, the attitude that it gives off is "I don't give a damn because I'm not the one looking for work, you are, so jump for it"

I continue to look for office work as I have a plan and want to follow through with that.

The phone rang this morning for some b.s. company that keeps changing the number it's calling from -- they are notorious for the bait and switch, they write on craigslist all the time, don't identify themselves, change up the ads, and then wonder why people tell them they're not interested once they do identify themselves over the phone, justifying calling you by saying you contacted them when in reality you didn't, you were responding to a blind ad.

Fuckers.

In any case, I can't give up. Must keep looking and submitting for work.

I continue to look for work but it's been slow going. I found some promising gigs and put in for them, and continue to think positively.

Meanwhile my energy levels are in the toilet. Don't know why. Meanwhile my gardening has been fantastic and I plan to plant more. Hopefully flowers this time, since the weather is warm enough to not bring a sudden frost.

This summer has been weird for sure weather-wise.

After scouring ads, I took a break and took advantage of a deal to get a free haircut and color.

I had thought I was going to get a completely new do, but instead, they only darkened my hair and snipped here and there, keeping the length for the most part. I was sort of disappointed, and could see they cut a bit, but for the most part, the cute layered bob I was envisioning did not happen. Maybe my face wouldn't accomodate it, I don't know. I leave it to the pros to figure out what works. They liked my length and hair, so I guess I'll just leave it there.

I also asked to be put on a recurring basis on their mail list to get a refresher or new cut in a couple of months. Let's see how this current look grows out. *smile*

meanwhile, I keep scouring the jobs and looking for work. Looking for open auditions as well as background work...did receive a nice little check for some work I did over a week ago. Loving the turnaround on these checks! Will go deposit.
