Well, I am at that point in my life again. I’m ready for a change. I need a new job. I’m sitting pretty in the position that I currently have, but I do not want to be here forever. I have gained some great experience in HR and I’m ready to take my knowledge to the next level.
I browsed craigslist today. This inspired me to update my resume, so that I have something current on hand. I’m either 1) Underqualified because I lack a degree. Or 2) Over qualified. I can take similar jobs with simlar pay, but I’m ready for something better.
This broght me back to the idea of continuing my education. I ment to go back much sooner. Life happened, one thing led to another and I’ve never re enrolled. I checked on the deadlines for financial aid. I’m getting all of my ducks in a row, and aiming for attending classes in the Fall 09. I can go back sooner, if my parents will cooperate and help me fill out the FAFSA. I’m still technically a dependent, even though I’ve been on my own for the past five years. Dumb.
I’m so excited about this weekend. Christina and I are going to the Reptile show at the Fair Grounds on Saturday. Then the gay pride parade is Sunday. I’ve been battling a nasty cold, but I do have faith that I can beat this by the weekend. Here’s to trying!
So I turned my bank account upside down, twice this month. I was spending hastily, with Christina moving in. We painted two rooms and I spent a lot of gas, moving her things in with my Jeep. I fell behind on two credit cards, which just added unnecessary debt. I ended up using my birthday money from family to bail myself out the first time. Then, my dad helped me out the second time. I’m paying him back, which helps me feel less useless.
I NEED TO GET BACK IN SCHOOL. I hate living paycheck to paycheck. I’m good at shuffling money from one account to another to make ends meet. At this point, my savings is totally depleted. My credit cards are current, and I’m working towards paying them off. It has to get better before it gets worse. At least I’m being optimistic.
