Job Search & Relationships

Click… click…click… type… send. The past 10 days this is all I feel like I’ve been doing. The job search has been absolutely crazy! I’ve had multiple leads but the exciting thing is that I’m getting interviews. Since being laid off I’ve had three which in this economy is nothing to overlook. However with the clock ticking away I feel like I get more nervous with each day that passes. I know it is just a matter of time before things will pan out, but feeling a little lost on where to go next has left an uneasy feeling in my stomach. I’m not sure if any of those interviews will lead into a future career but I’m know God will give me a peace about the right job when it comes. All I can do is trust Him and live blindly.

Lately on the relationship home front, because of the job situation I haven’t felt like I have had to much time to pursue anyone. However it seems the moment I stop looking, that is when guys come out of the woodworks. Even past relationships have started to resurface again which in most cases are annoying. They just remind me of being hurt and turn into more of a poking game then something meaningful. Everything else so far has been pretty casual up until this point and there has been a date here or there. Some of my friends are trying to set me up, but there hasn’t been anyone I’m head over heels for. Thus the reason I haven’t written about them. I have been pretty content being single so I’m not really sure if I want to stir the pot up. Plus this whole job situation and the possibility of moving has made me hesitate starting anything with anyone.

Things between Mr. Seattle and I have calmed down a lot and I haven’t heard from him as much anymore. It really stinks that I finally found someone I was really interested in and excited about getting to know. But now has seems faded because of the distance. I guess for now Mr. Seattle is more a less a closed book, until he decides to open it again. I don’t tend to pursue guys, when it starts to become one sided.

  1. I always avoided dating when I was unemployed too. Although my reason was because I always felt like such a loser when the first question they ask is “What do you do?” and my response would invariably be “nothing.” Way to feel sexy there.

  2. congrats on the interviews. you are right, in this market that is no small feat!! good luck!
