The Joys of Looking for Work

The joy of looking for a new job, oh how I hate you. 

About three weeks ago I received a letter from Service Canada starting that I had to attend a employment information session which would be held on March 13th. My immediate thoughts were; REALLY! You got to be kidding me.  I had only been unemployed at the time of the letter for 6 weeks and hadn't even received any money yet.  Though as of yesterday I did received $114. I really hope that at my next report to EI (employment insurance) that I will have received my full amount as one can not live off of $114. Also since I owe a friend a lot of money for an accident (will talk about in another post), I really need the money.

So I went to this information session today and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Learned some interesting things, one you need to keep a record of your job searches for six years. What I also found interested is Second Career and Apprenticeship program. Oh the dreams to have a new career and not have to do office administration work again, one can dream. But then I think; do I have a baby now or start a new career and wait 5 years for another one. I really don't know what I should do. I will have pray and think about this. 

So for the actual job searching it isn't going great, I haven't had any interviews or any recruiters contacting me about jobs.  Not that I really want to go back to work but it would be nice to have money. I need to go back that way I can have maternity leave for the next child. 

Anyway that's all for now.

A New Beginning AGAIN!!!

Well here I go again trying to do a new blog it is just like when I did journals. I would buy a brand new journal and write in it for about a week and then stop because I couldn't seem to commit to it; I seem to have a commitment problem to most task that require regular maintenance. It can be really aggravating not being able to commit to something, but for now we will see what happens. 

Anyway I should get to what this blog is going to be about, it is about my dysfunctional existence with ADHD and my struggles to function as a wife and mother. I have many daily challenges, as I deal with taking care of David (my son) and looking for work. I also suffer with noise anxiety and have to deal with that often. At least I am able to take medication for that, but not for my ADHD as we are trying for another child and that medication doesn't mix well with pregnancy.

What I also would like to share on this blog is my interests:

natural beauty products to make

cloth diapering

recipes

sewing 

music

and other things (my mine has gone blank)

Anyway I hope you join me in this advanture and hope I can keep the committed to it. 

Goodbye for now.
