The job search continues...

I have sent my resume to sooo many places. Hey! What if they all call all at once and offer me job after fabulous job, forcing me to have a bidding war for my employment...
highest salary takes this fantastic package of brains and skills....
I can dream cant I ? :)

This is what my outbox looks like as of about 4 minutes ago.

And all I've gotten so far is two interviews and an informational meeting.

One of those interviews was for a furniture store doing auditing. The lady basically said in the interview that she knows she should be paying more, but she knows how hard the job market is, so she figures she can get someone to do it for less. Is that legal? Oh well if it’s not, because I can honestly say that if she offered me the job I would take it in a heartbeat and a half.
Can someone say desperate?

The other interview wasn’t really an interview at all; it was a pre screening for Wells Fargo. That would be a great job, so I really hope I get that one.

Or one of the 6 positions I applied for with Blue Shield of CA.

All of this job searching has had me thinking about what my perfect job would actually be. I can think if two.

#1 Is being Bill Johnson’s personal assistant.
#2 Is either owning my own business, or helping someone else build up their own creative business.

More tomorrow (still spelling it out in my head).

Cracker Barrel

Today is Sun Day. This is my second Sunday in Redding, and I think it is my favorite day of the week. I can’t really explain Sundays at Bethel except to say that I wouldn’t miss them for the world. Today church was SO full because of the worship and revival conference, they even had to open the over flow room! Ray Hughes spoke, and he was talking about sound and declarations. And then he prayed for Cracker Barrels in California. I really love this man, unfortunately towards the end of his sermon I got a massive headache, which was not helped by the near arctic temperatures in the sanctuary.
In other news, I have a cat now.... or at least my new housemates have a cat and I get to live with it. I am totally ok with this, as I get all of the benefits of having a cat, without any of the responsibility. The cats name is Izze. Like the soda pop.
Lots of things are very new right now, new house, new roommates, new cat. New church, new church people, new worship teams, new bulletines.
Still looking for a J O B.

kitchen

Look its my new kitchen!
Yay for New things, they make my life feel so very full.

Stir Crazy

Ok, so being home all day is going to cause to to lose my mind. I spend all day looking at job listings, half of which are for taking surveys online, or sites that want to steal my resume and send me junk mail. The other half, the legit listings, are being applied to by people with PhD's becuase EVERYONE is looking for a job around here! Now, you may be saying to yourself "Why doesnt Toni just go out and pass out her resume around town. Well apparently you dont live in Redding, or you would know the answer to that question.... Its about 108 degrees during the day and the air quality has gone to crap.... I like to think of it as being a turkey in a smoke house. And, as much as I love smoked turkey, every time I go outside I feel like I am going to throw up or pass out. My greatest fear is that I would do both of these at the same time, causing my vomit to land on my face. Ew.
