Guess what, you guys? I have job, and I couldn’t be happier! After seven months of searching, right? Finally! *grin*

It all happened so fast, I’m not kidding! They called me, like Monday evening, and they wanted to interview me the following day. I did the interview, and then they called me before I even got home to let me know I got the job. I was like, “SERIOUSLY?!” They were like, “Heck, yeah!” And then they told me to come Thursday for the orientation and paperwork, and, and, that was it! It’s been a week since I started. I’m liking it!

Tonight was my first weekend shift, and it was crazy, I’m telling you! Oh, did I mention I work in retail? Retail and weekend spell F-U-N… or does it? I was only supposed to do four hours, but I ended up doing six. Six hours, dude! At least I get paid for the two extra hours. Woohoo! But gosh, I am exhausted! My back and legs hurt from all the running like a headless chicken. Well, sort of. I mean, there were other things I did in between the running, like folding, and folding, and more folding. Felix thinks this is my karma, since I like looking at folded shirts and stuff, and I don’t fold them back. Turnabout’s a fair play, huh? LOL!

I am aching all over. I feel like an old fart.

Anyway, I am really tired, and I should probably get some sleep. Hey, I know! Why don’t you guys leave me a comment, show me some blog love. You know you want to.

Hello, dear friends! I apologize for once again slacking off with the blogging. I know I said so many times in the past that I was going to blog more often, but I keep failing. Not that I have nothing interesting to share. I do. Sometimes I have something which sounds really funny in my head, or like, I have something that I want to share about my day, but when I start writing about it, I lose it. I’m just not a writer, is all, and it frustrates me. Even more frustrating is how this website was supposed to be my creative outlet, an avenue for my beaded jewelry and scrap pages… so far, I only have links to other peoples’ stuff. Nothing mine. I find it really disappointing. Let’s not forget the part how being jobless means no funding for hobbies or passions.

Let’s see. It’s been six months, and (in case you missed the part where I said it, let me reiterate) I still don’t have a job. I am frustrated, and I think I am slipping into depression. I don’t really know what being depressed is like. All I know is that I haven’t felt good about anything in a long while, and every day feels like a waste. I try not to talk so much about it, as it doesn’t help having people think of me as hopeless or helpless. Seriously, it’s not like I’m not trying. I mean, I do try to be productive given my circumstances. I also have been submitting applications for Special Ed positions and retail stores here and there. Still, no dice. So yeah, things have been crazy, like wild crazy, in my world.

Six. Frickin. Months.

Luckily, there are still some good stuff. (Thank goodness, right?) Like, I am finally a California credentialed Special Ed teacher. And I am still married to Felix. And Nate is doing really well in 9th grade. And we have Medi-Cal with free prescription refills. And we have a car. And I have volunteer work. And a new laptop. And tomorrow’s a brand new day.

P.S. I know, I know! I will post pictures of the necklace I made using the Swarovski crystals and components given to me on my birthday. I will also post some of the projects I made back in Manila. Those are good stuff, too!
