DAY 14 - A DATE WITH MARVIN

I have to admit this was a rough day emotionally. The anxiety set in at 8:00 p.m. last night when I realized that I missed my first designated call in time with MARVIN (Michigan Automated Response Voice Interactive Network). I had a vision that I would have to go stand in a long line with the rest of the state of Michigan to explain why I could not follow directions. Luckily,as I read further, Michigan has taken into account idiots like me and allows us to call in the following day. What a relief... talk about feeling like a leach at the bottom of the human food chain. Luckily, MARVIN did not take it personal that I stood him up.. whoops...

Today I was bummed, it is amazing how vulnerable you become when you are looking for work. Even Deepak Chopra could not help me today. I know your self worth should not be tied to your position but I think I have some work to do in this area. On the bright side, I am running a 10.5 minute mile and am 3.2 pounds from goal weight with Weight Watchers. Yeah....

Realization

I need to realize there are going to be good days and bad ones. Just setting small goals that you can control I think will be helpful as the job search continues. Exercise is key to staying focused and pumping yourself with those so needed endorphins. (Sorry not a funny day for me)
