Happy Days Are Here Again

I received a phone call yesterday from my friend who I interviewed with and he offered me the job of lead style consultant at Metropark.  The position sounds bigger than it really is but it pays more than my last job and I am being entrusted with more responsibility. All in all I am pretty excited about it not to mention happy that I'm working again. Things look like they will be moving pretty quick. I'm going to be meeting with him again today so he can bring me up to speed with how the store works and a run down of everyone who works there. So I'll be finding out more about exactly what I am going to be doing. I just want to be able to move up quickly and make more money. That's what I'm all about right now. I really want to set myself up so that I can go back to school. That would be an ideal situation. We'll see.

The Annual Message

I hope everyone was able to watch President Obama's first annual message to congress.

Here's to hoping...

I went to a job interview today. A friend of mine is a store manager for a retail store, he had a couple of openings so he gave me a call. Ideally I would love the management position he has open.  I am honestly not that optimistic about everything. I've been been let down alot at my previous job, so I've been left with little hope. However, I do have some left and I'm trying to turn that into more hope. I believe I'm qualified. I've just been waiting for someone to give me a chance. Hopefully this will be it. EIther way I'll take what I can get. If they don't feel I'm ready to take on a management position, I'll take their lead sales position they have open. No matter what happens I know I won't be doing this for the rest of my life. 

why not?

I have procrastinated entirely too much with regards to this blog that was supposed to be an outlet for myself. Hopefully this will be the start to continue using this blog.  Many things have been going on for the past couple of months and I realized that I've fallen into a sort of depression. No, I'm not moping around the house or having thoughts of suicide. It's more of a constant day to day reflection of where I'm not in my life. I see other people getting their lives in order while mine seems to have fallen apart in some respect. 

Since the new year began I've lost my job and slowly drained what little money I had left in my bank account. I've had to resort to getting support from my cities social services department a.k.a. food and cash assistance. I'm also in the middle of processing a claim for unemployment. 

Aside from all the personal financial issues, the rest of my life is going pretty good. I went back into a relationship and I feel like I'm closer to my family.  I've also been catching up on alot of reading.  And I've also been putting some thought into where I want this blog to be. I guess I'm just go
