GETTING MY HOUSE IN ORDER
As part of my extended procrastination before the job search, I decided this was the week to purge my closet of clothes that no longer made the cut. It is such a gratifying experience to clean up and streamline. I see this as a mental exercise to get myself lean and mean and ready to get my energy focused to find that next fabulous role.
FREE THINGS
I have also put a list together of things I wanted to do while goofing off. Today, I decided to enter contests for prizes and giveaways. I have always wanted to win something cool. It has never happened yet... So in a few weeks I may be either the proud owner of the HGTV Dream house in New Mexico, a pair of 1 carat diamond earrings or $500 worth of make-up - wish me luck. Oh I forgot to sign of for Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes.
WEAVING LAID OFF IN A CONVERSATION
On a job search note which is what this blog is about anyways, I am starting to tell people that I am laid off. Boy, is that a conversation killer. I went to pick my daughter up from a sleepover and I was chatting away with several moms. The energy was really flowing and for some reason I mentioned I was laid off. It made me think when I was employed and out socializing I used to think it was a drag too to hear it.
REALIZATION- If I win Clearing House - I can hold off on employment until the recession blows over. Don't tell people on the weekend that you are laid off - it is a major mood drain on those around you....
