I will admit I am a bit nervous and jittery over all this job applying. I know most of the places I've applied to won't call me back, but there's jut this really calming sensation I've had as of late. That I'm going to get a job. That lots of people will be calling me. That even if they don't call me, that's OKAY because there are better places to apply to. Yesterday morning alone I got three "we're going for someone else" emails within five minutes. But I had applied to four at that location, so there's still that ONE I'm waiting to hear my phone ringing. It would be nice if twenty-five percent of all jobs you applied to, you would get a callback.
If you guys haven't noticed, my insomnia has been acting up really bad lately. I have made a huge decision in my life and hopefully my life will move forward from here on in. I'm scared of the repercussions, but I'll feel the tremors from the earthquake later, I hope.
Yesterday was the start of my applying frenzy. Before, when I would apply, I would pick the typical places that everyone applied to. Large supermarkets, fast food restaurants, local eateries. I might occasionally find one job from online and try it out. This time around I have been trying everything and anything that I think I can qualify for. Yesterday from two in the morning until about nine or so in the morning I was focusing mainly on finding a job. It was really hard work, I have to tell you, but it was definitely rewarding when I got the phone call. Yes, it's seasonal work. Yes, it ends by January 3rd, but it's something for the time being, until I find something right. Something better. I will definitely think on it. I found another place that would prefer a walk-in. I think before I head over to SeaWorld (yes, the assholes who rejected me without explanation before) I will walk into the other place with a resume in hand. I liked that they said they would train; experience unneeded.
That has truly been the only thing on my mind. Finding a job. Finding a job. Finding a job. Why can't I sleep? Finding a job. Hotels are the place to go, I tell you what. If you get a random email from me, just give it a shot. It is this website Hyatt had suggested and today they found two "matches" for me. I already knew about one of them, but the other I applied to and actually had fun. I think that it had to be the first application I have ever filled out that was fun.
So, yesterday, nine to ten applications, plus tons of other fruitless searches. So far today, three filled out online. One I'm going to end up going to with resume in hand and an interview I must go over and see if it's worth it. Two other applications that I know I want to fill out.

See? Nothing special about my life.
