Still searching and never again

So its been a month and a half of endless job careers, online searches and temp agencies and still no luck. Unemployment helps, but the light at the end of the tunnel just gets smaller as the days go by. I know that I am good at what I do and its frustrating to know that companies are taking people that have more experience over skill. Its driving me crazy.

Other than the job hunting there isn't much to tell...oh wait, there is. I went out on Saturday night with a girlfriend and some of her friends to a club. I did have fun and the club was nice, but some of the girls didn't know how to act right. I'm only 24, I know a baby to some, but there were girls there that were 18 and 19 and drunker than drunk. If you know how to handle your self when your drinking then I have nothing to say, but when you are under age getting into a club you need to keep your self in check. Wandering off to the bathroom with men that you don't know is not okay and giving your number to everyone who asks...even to a whole group of guys that are together isn't too cool either. If the group was half the ladies that is was I may go out with them again, but for now I'm limiting it to just that girlfriend.

Moving, Job, etc.

We're moving! Finally, I get to get my own place, and really settle down. Boxes are being packed, items are slowly being taken over to the condo. Calling all the utilities has started out a little rough, but I figure it'll eventually get done. Can't wait to sleep in my bed in a new place!

Once again I've basically been laid off from my job. 3 out of 4 got put on a 30-day furlough. which just basically means forced vacation with no pay. We still get our benefits, and can apply for unemployment. They says we'll maybe be brought back, but I hardly think it would actually happen as early as 30-days. I've been to a Temp agency, maybe they can help, or maybe I'll just find a simple part time job close to home, perhaps Disneyland?!

I tried to upload the mini tour of my condo on here, but it's giving me issues. Maybe I'll try later.

hmph, maybe it did work, enjoy!

The end of house hunting

So today was the relatively big day of ending our house hunt with signing 50 million papers, and confirming this, and stating that, sign here, sign there. Paul and I officially have bought our condo in Anaheim.

I probably don't act like I'm excited, but deep inside I am! Once I'm actually moving boxes into MY house, I think it'll become more real. I get to buy some curtains, washer, dryer, area rugs, and a handful of other odds and ends from Home Depot or Lowe's, to finish up the place. I think that's what I'm more excited about. All the little crap you get to buy for your place. I think it helps solidify the fact that it's yours and you can paint the walls any way you want, and re-do flooring, and bathrooms, etc. It's buying all the fun stuff you might hesitate buying when you rent. I can buy art for the walls, and start saving to get my mystery Westie dog who awaits me in the El Cajon area of Southern CA.

As far as how much more we're paying now as apposed to renting, only $340. Isn't that a little insane, that in this economy we got such a great deal! It's also amazing and insane as to how much renters are charging! For our 1bed 1bath with central a/c, comparitively seems like we wasted money renting, which in a sense you do, but if you have a little help, you can make buying something permanent so worth it in the long run. I won't lie, we did ask for some financial help from our parents, but we'll try to pay them back either with unlimited visits to the condo, food, or straight cash!

Ok enough for now, time to get back to...work!?

Just walk away..oh if it was that easy

So its easy to tell someone to walk away when things get bad in a relationship but how many times have you stayed. I dont think that because something, anything gets hard you give up. Now if someone is beating you or something of that level then yes walk away. Run, but if its a bump then I think that there is a chance that it can get worked out. If you love someone you will go to the ends of the earth to make the relationship work. Are there times when you do have to give up? Yes, but only after you have tried everything. Relationships arent easy, maybe thats why so many fail; people shy away from things that are hard and take the easy way out. Thats what society has become, whats easiest is best (i.e fast food, cell phones, online schools)and I think that people apply that to their relationships. They think its easier to leave someone because one thing isnt 100% and to try and find someone that may be closer to 100%.

Nothing in life is perfect. Thats the reason that people are not the same, but what percentage is close enough? 80%, 96%...99.8% and is the percentage thats not there worth walking away?

Running around like a chicken with my head cut off...

So I have taken time from posting because my life is a mess and have been trying to figure it out and then after reading the two newest posts by Liz I realized that the reason that we started this blog was to share our craziness. So here we go...

I was laid off last month and then my relationship took two steps back and I am mess. Things are better now in the relationship department but there is a part of me that is still sad that it went backwards instead of forward, but hes still here and is amazing. He is a great support right now when I feel completely lost in my job search. I couldn't love someone more. Saying the words are not enough so I got him a book...its called "Why I love you". I suggest everyone get it.

The job search on the other hand is going no where, I think its almost time to find a corner...There are good jobs out there but there are also a lot of people that are jobless fighting for those good jobs. I think I have applied to 40+ jobs and nothing. Also I'm down to my last $30 and I'm freaking out. my unemployment is delayed and I have no idea why. You can only call them wed. and thur. so I have to wait on that. Bummer.

Enjoy this update...the next one might be even better!!!

Today I've wanted to post, but haven't been inspired to write about anything in particular. So instead I've chosen to post pictures. The above are all found on the website http://www.ffffound.com/ (thanks to Phil)
