Here's to you unemployment!

Happy anniver-sary, happy anniver-sary, happy anniver-sary....happppy annnnniversary!


Yes my friends, as of today I have been unemployed for one complete year. ONE FULL YEAR!!! And although, I have been dreadgng this for the past, well year, I am actually not as upset as I thought I would be. I think it’s because, I have a feeling great things are going to happen. When you’re, unemployed you have to believe in all the positive things you can, fortune cookies, tea leaves, random signs, sounds crazy, but as I said one year.

So my friends here I come to you one unemployment year wiser and six months from 31. I have always said I would have the job of my dreams when I was 30, and since I am 30 I now realized it was not by the time I was 30, but more in my 30’s. So, I have learned a lot, traveled a lot and discovered myself a lot this year, and it it now time to move on.

All I have to say is CHEERS and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, it’s been a heck of a year and I am only expecting amazing things to come. So here’s to you unemployment and the end of our relationship! Here Here!

(I wanted to post a picture of me cheers-ing with champagne, but I am not only out of champagne, but also do not own champagne glasses, so please enjoy this random Internet picture)

So Here's What I'm Thinking........

What to write about, what to write about? 



This is the question that has been plaguing me for the last month or two. Everyday I say to myself, “Look Britt, you have a blog with an awesome name, but you haven’t updated it in a loooooonnnnggg time.” And why, why haven’t I updated it? Because really I have nothing to say right now, I still am unemployed, but I have a feeling you readers may be sick of hearing about that (I know my family and friends are for sure), I haven’t had any recent interview, and (much to my dismay) I am slightly accepting where I am in life.


As I think about it, acceptance of my current situation is not necessarily a bad thing, at least it means I have stopped telling my friends “well at least you have a job” every time they complain about work, which let me tell you took a while. This acceptance has kind of given me a sense of piece. I have also come to terms with the number of rejection notices I get in my email, from as far back as June, I no longer find them to be such a hit to my self-esteem and am thinking maybe I should print them out and make a collage to hang in my house, so when I get a job I will appreciate it that much more.


Other things I have been thinking about:
1. Would I be a good English teacher? Probably not because I don’t punctuate well.
2. After seeing Step Up 3D I want to become a hip hop dancer, REALLY REALLY BAD.
3. When you dress babies in stupid clothes that you think are cute, do you think they realize they look ridiculous? I think so.
4. Everyone who lives in Seattle complains about the rain, but yet still lives here, why?
5. How many of my resumes really get looked at? 


Based on this entire acceptance needless to say the job search continues daily, so readers until next time........
