Mental Wanderlusting

I'm happier when I'm busy. Is that weird? I feel like I need to be doing something most of the time, or I feel like I'm worthless. Since I'm not working, I get bored as hell. And being bored makes me stir crazy.

I'm really ready to go back to work. In the interim, I'm continually finding things to keep me occupied outside of my job search. I'm focusing on freelance writing and helping a friend with an online marketing project. It's pretty educational, so not only am I banishing the boredom, I'm learning too. It may put $$ in my wallet, and it's a resume booster. Shit yea!

I ditched the unpaid internship and the classes too. I can't afford the DJ hobby right now. I don't have the energy for it, I need to focus on getting this career back up and running.

I have lots of free time to be creative and let my mind wander. And to catch up on television! I absolutely heart Wendy Williams. She better make it past the six-week sneak peek. She's the best thing on broadcast television and I don't care what nobody say 'bout it! And right now I will admit that I am a total reality television addict. I will watch nearly any reality show on Bravo and VH-1. It's terrible but who doesn't like to watch people make asses of themselves? And it's scripted real life?

I also have a lot of time to talk to God. This is a time to stay prayed up, no doubt. Despite my circumstances right now I am a very blessed individual.

I feel like this post has come full circle, now I must go. Peace.

Still On It

I'm trying to get back to blogging regularly since I got my computer back. I lost my momentum for awhile, so please bear with me as I get back in the swing of blogging.

Things have been a little crazy lately. I'm still unemployed, going on three months. During this time I freelanced for a few weeks, and interned at the DJ school. The internship is not going so well, mainly because I'm a grown ass woman with financial responsibilities, and I can't afford to be working for free no matter how "educational" the experience is. Sure, it's fun to be in the mix and be around music all day, but I need to get paid. So I've returned my focus to seeking full time work.

The good thing about being out of work for so long and trying on different hats is that I have a better sense of what I want out of a job. I learned that I don't just want a job, I want a career. I need to work in a creative environment. I still have a great love for marketing. In the past I've been quick to move on, preventing myself from exploring the opportunities available in my current field. I'm learning to not be so haste. It's up to me to breathe life into my career if I feel things are stagnant.

I'm doing my best to be optimistic during this period in my life. It's very difficult, but I refuse to let myself get down about things. If I'm doing my part, God will take care of the rest.

Peace,
