A Temporary Situation

A friend who worked for The Company in the past is having surgery. She has asked me to fill her position in her absence at a local company, one which I have referred to in the past. One which I would love to work for. Even though I had decided not to work part-time or on a temp basis, this is different. It could mean a foot in the door. I said yes. I'll be busy for five to six weeks ~ until around Thanksgiving. I look forward to it.

Ironically, I got a call today about another open position with a company I've had my eye on as well. We'll see how this works out.

Someone told me when I was first unemployed that Monster or Indeed would not help in my job search. I have found that to be very true. I applied to many, many positions, and heard back from only three employers! It's who you know. It's networking that really makes a difference.

So, did I accomplish everything on my project list here at home? Probably not. But, am I ready to call it a day and go back to work? Yes. That's not to say that I didn't accomplish a lot. It's just that it all came to a head yesterday when I actually got down on my hands and knees and scrubbed the baseboards in the master bath and then pointed it out to my husband for acknowledgment. Mostly all of the tasks around the house are like that. No one is bothered if they aren't completed as much as I am. Making work is not something I need to do. The bottom line is that I don't feel fulfilled doing housework. I need people.
