📆 Month 5 into my Journey In Unemployment Land. A lot of different things are happening at the same time.
🐶 My dog has officially entered her teenager phase. She's rolling her eyes, disobeying commands, and throwing tantrums. Please send all the dog training videos. I mean it. Help.
👨👩👦👦 My family is planning a trip to the Virgin Islands in January. My niece and brother-in-law are graduating from high school in May. I have no clue if I'll be able to attend either ceremony, let alone get them gifts.
💒 A bunch of people are getting married. I've been invited. I can only go to one. I'm hosting friends for the event. I am not ready to answer the How've you been question.
🏢 I'm still arguing with the Department of Labor. I did contact my local representatives for help but I've heard nothing. I will follow up. I will keep fighting.
📝 I've officially submitted over 200 job applications. No interviews, no callbacks, nothing. I do have a bunch of recruiters contacting me to train AI models, however. That makes me want to gag.
📊 Between March to October, I've written over 150k words on personal art projects. I don't have the stats for the copy I wrote at Terakeet. I'm positive I've written over 200K words, if I were to include digital copy. I'm really proud of how consistent I've been.
👩🎓 I signed up for a writing workshop. I'm still learning: reading books, taking classes, talking to other professionals, and watching YouTube.
🧠 I'm wondering if I want to stay in marketing anymore. Is it for me? Why was I doing it in the first place? I'll be back once I figure out the words.
Until then, keep me in your thoughts. Keep sending me job postings. Let's connect and chat! We are in this together.
