still searching

Ok, so it's wednesday and I haven't written since last week - bad erin!

But I'm back on the blogging wagon! I'm still looking for jobs but I'm in the twin cities so I haven't been dropping off resumes, just looking online. I had some troubles with iowajobs.... ok, lets be honest, my computer crashed so it probably wasn't the site but hardware issues. Not sure how much I'll get done today. But once I get back home tomorrow I'm going to get back on my job search plan. I probably should write it down so I have a definitive plan.

After talking with Austin - my dishy boyfriend - I realized that I don't know what I even want to do. Do I want to just get a Job till I can figure out what I ultimately want to do? Do I want just a job to get some experience in iowa, and to prove to employers that I'm not going anywhere? Or do I want to hold out for my big Career position? Or do I want to take what comes along knowing that I'm being guided by a higher power and what's meant to happen will happen? What a tough time to even be contemplating these questions!

The big thing I need to keep working on, more diligently than I have been, is my writing. Even if I can't make a living off it, selling my short stories could add a nice little bit of fun money to my budget. And that's a Great way for me to use my communication degree outside of employment. That way I don't have to get a job (or career) that uses my degree, cuz I am.

Still haven't heard from the youth shelter. I'm guessing that my app will show up today if it didn't yesterday, since I put it in the mail Friday. I love kids, my involvement with GS proves that but I bet working with at risk girls will probably be stressful, I know i can handle it but I wonder what the turn over rate is.

I'm going to enjoy today as a vacation day - I'm meeting my mom and my daughter for lunch =) Well, I'll still look but tomorrow back to the grindstone!
