Four months?
A week later. A week full with head hunters, job applications, phone calls and trying to keep up the spirit at work. The latter is one of the most difficult things to do, but let’s not focus on the negative.
This week my current employment agency called to chat and see how I am doing. An effort I can really appreciate and I was very pleased that a genuine conversation was held.
From the lady calling me I understood that I ought to be happy being invited to an interview at all, and that is it normal to be without work for four months now.
FOUR months.
Me, a person that cannot stand being alone for a long time with nothing to do… four months at home playing happy housewife, it will kill me!
There must be an alternative. So to remind myself of things I could do when the walls of my home will be closing in on me:
- Make new online portfolio (designy)
- Learn C# (not sure why)
- Pick up salsa dancing again (once I was quite good)
- Take second course in sign language (most useless skill I have obtained in my life)
- Volunteer at pet’s shelter (stinky but useful)
- Bobbin Lace “Dutch: kantklossen” (not just for old people!)
Not sure what it is going to be, perhaps all of it together. As long as it keeps me from watching TV every day the whole day just because I have nothing better to do.
