Wish list
Loving this Buffalo Lamp and this Desert Big Horn Lamp. Electric Boot Chair - Western bravado in bold red and blue. Deeply embossed, (doesn't that make you toes curl up?) hand-painted boot pattern on luxury leather set off by a contrasting welt and silver nail heads. Would love to see this in person! All from Crow's Nest Trading Company.
I just applied for a job that pays $15.00 an hour, so this is all dreamin' here ;) Yep, it is my Monday, Tuesday, ego slap-down of applying for jobs. Do you ever feel like your life is over? Or at least your 'big-dreaming' life is over? I have my moments.
Dumb question: Why does someone as knockout multi-talented as you have to work for someone else at all? for the insurance? They have affordable policies for self-employed now I hear.
ReplyDeleteYou would be a fantastic stylist, designer, artist, consultant from the comfort of your own home. No commute!
I don't get it!
You are so sweet to me. Well, I am working on that. Looking into freelancing. Getting my act together. I am really hoping that is where I end up soon.
ReplyDeleteI do feel as though my life is over at times, but I more so feel as though it is constantly restarting. My husband relocated me one state over, the month I received my MLIS. I had a great career in library PR, and it was well-paying. Now I make $12/hr cataloging books, a necessary and noble aspect of librarianship, but still...
ReplyDeleteI actually appreciate this move and "career change" deep down. His career is flourishing, and I know that if we can live without it now, we'll be fine later.
Buying new shoes on payday just because used to be really fun, though.
Yes, Lauren, restarting is a very good term!
ReplyDeleteI have worked about every job imaginable in my life and there is nothing stopping me from doing that now.
I was thinking of working in a nursery would be great for me right now!
I guess, we can't judge ourselves too harshly on our hourly wage these days.
And I can do lay-away, like I did in my early years ;)
Don't let this environment get you down; looking for employment in times like these can be degrading and humiliating no matter how talented and intelligent you may be. I and others I know have been through this as well ... you are a very talented lady; I just know something better will come your way. Listen to your heart and support group; they know how talented you are! xoxo
