So its a new year. Not much has changed except that I'm now looking for a new job. I just have to say, job hunting sucks. Its been over a year since I've had to apply for a job and its not very fun. I hate that thought of being rejected and I admit, I'm not the most confidant person in the world. In the past I've always gotten the jobs I've applied for... always. Buts thats because I've only applied for the ones I knew I could get. For example... Ottavios (2006)- one of my dads accounts; Claires (2006-07)- my best friend at the time worked for Icing and recommended me; Payless (2007)- same story; Remedez (2007-08)- I'm a really good massage therapist and had the right qualifications; Sanctuary (2008-09)- Knew the product line from working for Remedez and I'm a great therapist; The Spa at Hotel Park City (2009-10)- My sister worked there and recommended me.
So now here I am.... jobless and looking for work. Its so intimidating looking for a job! Yesterday I was getting ready to go out and get my resume to a few places and I was desperately trying to find an excuse not to go. Luckily I have a husband who is super encouraging and understanding (and has this way of making me want to be better and try harder). So off I went. Into the world to try and find work. I haven't heard from anyone yet but I still have a few more places to apply.
Other than trying to find work, I'm just trying to keep my head above water. Trying really hard to stay happy and positive that things will get better. Not an easy task I might add. Having little Noah helps a lot... his smiles keep me from totally breaking down everyday. Knowing that I have him to take care of and relying on me keeps me going. Not everyone is as understanding as my husband and my son are as to what I'm going through. One thing I learned in 2010 is that I have to be very careful of the things I write on my own blog because I know a few people who get offended by pretty much everything. In fact, they'll probably get offended by that very sentence.
I'm hoping 2011 will bring some new and exciting things to our lives. 2010 was such a great year, I'm not sure 2011 will even compare! Here are some highlights from our year...
