Unemployed & Dandelions


Ugh…

I am still unemployed.

My job search continues.

I am not sure how many days it has been, how many rejections I received plus I didn’t update my Excel tracking file yet. I was also just on a call with a recruiter that rescheduled our meeting multiple times. It’s nothing personal, I’m sure.

He indicated my background was solid, is extremely busy with a lot of candidates and he would get back in contact with me in a couple of months.

A couple of months!

I was told we could probably have something lined up by summer.

Summer? This will be over for me by Spring! It’s tough being unemployed & anxious to get back to work.

My previous post (see link below) indicated this was a marathon not a sprint, but I need to start running faster.

Job Search 2025

My goal of shredding (guitar) & get shredded (healthier) is still active for me though.

I am still shredding (really good on 3 chords on guitar now) & getting shredded (100 push-ups today already, but not necessarily in a row), but I just sold myself out.

I am now doing online surveys for money.

I just registered and it’s actually a lot of fun. I reached Bronze Elite Status already & I am targeting Silver by the end of next week.

What does dandelions have to do with being unemployed? Absolutely nothing.

But for me, as I network, apply for jobs, upskill with training & now completing surveys if I see a dandelion in my lawn through the window it’s gone. I mean gone.

My lawn has never looked so good & I do not like dandelions.

The most time in the sun I’ve had in a long time & I previously worked remotely. You have to find the positive in the little things every day.

TGIF!

Thank God it’s Friday tomorrow; I planted grass seed in a bare spot & I am watching it grow over the next two weeks. From the window where I am doing my job search.

I need a break.

Time for more surveys.

Rock on!
