Shopping & Interviews.........Yuck!

Since I am not working, I get to do alot of chores around the house that I've been lucky enough to have avoided until now. Like grocery shopping. Ugh! I remember the days when I thought my GF spent way too much money and time on groceries. That thought has quickly been replaced with "My God! I can't believe we need to get groceries again. They cost so much!"
Gone are the good old days when I waited in the car while GF shopped. Or better yet, waited at home while she shopped. Another reason to get employed?

Speaking of employed......I had an interview last week and another of sorts this week. I wasn't too sure that I was interested in the job that I interviewed for last week. The pay and benefits looked appealing and I thought the interview went well. But I didn't hear back from them. I'm trying very hard to look at this whole employment thing in a positive manner (otherwise I'll go over the edge into depression) but I have to say - it sucks! Interviews are nerve wracking. I'm a pretty shy person and have been taught not to "brag?" about my strengths and abilities. So the whole interview thing is going against my core feelings. It is a struggle.
The interview I had this week was done on the phone, by a large corporations' recruiter. We'll see where it goes next. They have many levels of hierarchy so now I wait until next week to see what happens. I am trying not to get too worked up over this one, and will wait until I know more before commenting on it.

Until then, I'll try to stay out of grocery stores (yeh, right) and will take a deep breath and get ready for the next adventure.
