So I told you this whole blogging thing would be sporadic at times. Don't hate the blogger hate the game baby!
So as many of you know the family is pulling up roots here in good ole Omaha and moving our herd to Viva Las Vegas. While this sounds great and wonderful it is the in-between stages of life that really suck. We have four months to sell a house, buy a house, move oh and me find a new career that hopefully doesn't include a paycut that is half of what I make now.
First for the house:
St. Joseph is firmly planted upside down, three feet from the house and in the back yard. This appears to be the most widely believed position for him in order to get optimal vibage for house sellage! We have decluttered the house of most all personal items and I have been taking tremendous efforts to keep it clean. I swiffer the floors twice a week, I wipe down the sink every day before I leave so there are not spots on the stainless steal and I even make the freakin bed. (I'm seriously thinking of starting to sleep on the couch as this is getting old!) We have had two showings. The first didn't like the neighborhood and the second loved the house, but thought we were overpriced. That should invite the potential buyer to make an offer, but evidently not. So this Sunday we will be having an open house in hopes of bringing in lots of traffic. According to the forecast it is supposed to be about 50 and sunny so let's all pray together that people show up and offers are made!!
Secondly the job hunt:
Not much to really report. To date I've applied for 44 jobs and received 10 flush letters of 'going with other idiots' I mean candidates. Sorry I'm so much more qualified, but if you are unable to look past the fact that I don't yet live in the city of year-round warmth, tans and pools I feel sorry for you. Oh wait it's their prerogative to weed out people. As you may be able to tell my frustration is getting the best of me. The hardest part is finding individuals to look at my resume. I've been networking like crazy on LinkedIn. I'm up to over 200 connections. I've updated my picture and C Todd, a friend of ours, did an amazing job helping me revamp my resume. I firmly believe this is why people stay in jobs they hate because the prospect of looking for a different job sucks even more!! I will carry on though adn land myself an excellent opportunity! If not M will just have to be my sugar daddy for a while and when I get there I'll go work part-time at a pet store until I find something bigger and better.
All in all I'm just ready for the move to take place. 4 months is a long time to think about things and the added stress and anxiety is not good for anyone.
Peace, Love and Puppy Dogs,
John
