Accelerated Job Search

I think playing the waiting game is going to happen in my professional life too now. The church has an accelerated job search program I want to be hardcore about but not before I find out if I get one of the librarian jobs with the county. I am going to wait the week next week to find out about it. I told my mother then I have to be hardcore about landing anything that'll let me save money for my real estate fees. I want to wait but I don't want to be lazy but I don't think I'm doing that.

I feel like I'm playing the waiting game with annoying too now. It's not like I can't contact him. I can do that easily. I just don't want to have to do that. I want him to want to contact me and make the effort. It makes all the difference in the world to me. I am really liking my haircut. Nick did a fabulous job. He is my hairdresser forever.

It would be great to date annoying then take him there to get his hair cut. He's probably never spent over $25 on a haircut. But really men don't generally have much hair to work with anyway. He never needs to get a blow-dry. I want to do that to nip the Nick thing in the bud. I want to be dating annoying or engaged to him by December when he graduates because I want to give him a Poly graduation experience as in cover him with lots of leis. I'm sure his parents will bring him a couple from Hawaii. I hope they plan to attend. While I don't like that he is in school now I am very happy he is finishing his doctrate. He can teach now if he ever wants that option and hopefully it qualifies him for administrative jobs too in his field.

Whatever it does or doesn't do we are all counseled to get as much education as possible. I am glad he is doing that even if I do wish he were finished with it now. I still remember eliminating him in my head when I thought he was working on his undergraduate degree when I first met him and was trying to convince him and whoever else I could to attend my Book Fair. When I write that out it seems so calculating BUT I didn't go to school just to end up with someone who hasn't even completed his undergraduate degree in anything. Even Nick has his BA in Political Science. He just decided on the cutting hair later in life although he has risen quickly to the top of his field.

He attended Paul Mitchell's school of hair design and he works events during Sundance now. He has a picture with Paul Mitchell in Park City. While Curtis doesn't have a BA he did finish some Design program at BATC and is working actively in his field and well enough that he has bought his second home. He is also probably going to take over his father's farm eventually while he works as a designer for Visionary Homes in Logan. Both are actively pursing their careers and annoying was doing that too before he quit to attend school.

Many of the men and women in my ward have amazing jobs but then many of them don't as well. You'd think I'd be more forgiving in my current state of unemployment but I'm not nor do I expect to be in this state much longer but I will adjust and do what I need to do. I'm just giving myself a break until I find out about the county librarian positions I just applied for. I am NEVER working at a call center again. I am NEVER making an hourly wage again under $20. I am working in Real Estate asap.

I love my testimony, I love the gospel, I love my life. It isn't perfect and I'm not where I want to be now but I am working on that as I will throughout my life. With the gospel everything is joyous and amazing and I am grateful for that perspective.
