I heard, through a friend who is employed there, of an opening at a local large company. My son also happens to work there. I have always wanted to work there. Even if I have to take a cut in salary from where I was when I left The Company, as long as it is 75% of it, I'm fine with that. I can continue to collect unemployment longer than my original deadline. Mr. Obama extended benefits. I'm not certain how long (54 weeks or 99 weeks - government communications are always vague) but this just means I don't want to consider a part-time position, since I would probably make less than I get from unemployment benefits.
I don't need a job to "complete" me. My self-worth is okay. But, there's just so much housecleaning one woman can stand to do. After awhile, and finding myself talking to the dog, it's time for some different stimulation and interaction besides a wagging of the tail from man's best friend!
In other words, this extended vacation is becoming monotonous. Yes, I could get to like this. And, I have truly enjoyed the break from the rat race. But, I'm feeling the pull to get out there. When I heard of this opening, I felt excited and refreshed. If I don't get this job, I will most likely put just a little bit more into my job search. Perhaps I will re-tool my resume and cover letter. But, for now, I WANT THIS JOB!
