I’m still on the hunt for a job. I registered with a couple agencies and have been going on interviews. Soon I shall have something, fingers crossed. It’s hard to sound excited about being an administrative assistant. I mean, it’s not like it’s a career goal anymore. Years ago there were secretarial schools that women went to, because it was one of the 3 accepted careers for women (the others being nurse and teacher). If a woman was going to work, that’s one of the very few choices she had. I don’t know how anyone ends up being a career assistant, especially in this day and age where getting a new job every couple of years is the norm.

Since I’ve been home looking for a job, I’ve also been trying to get my stuff all unpacked and settled. That’s been going even less successful than the job hunt. First of all, it’s over 100 degrees outside, so going to our garage and hauling boxes into the upstairs apartment we have isn’t an appealing thought. Also, Boyfriend and I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, so space is severely limited. We’ve both been frustrated with the process, but we are slowly but surely making progress. On the plus side, my computer is set up and online via wirelss (yay Boyfriend!) so no more issues with that one silly little laptop key. The rest of my desk, on the other hand, is in a miserable state of being partially done, since a lot of the relevant crap that goes with having a desk is still boxed up in the garage.

Other than that there’s been not a heck of a lot going on. I’ve been trying to keep up with blogs, though I haven’t been able to check all of them as often as I used to. That’s ok, because if I get a job that has me as busy as I want to be, I won’t have much time to read them all, so it’s something that I should get used to. For now, though, I need to get some stuff done around the house to make things easier for when Boyfriend gets home and perhaps eat some lunch.
