I’ve got two more days to complete at work before I’m completely free. I still don’t know what I’m going to do next. Many of the jobs I’ve been applying for have postings that don’t close for a few more days or weeks. I also don’t expect government offices to have quick hiring processes, so I may be unemployed longer than I’d like.<\/p>\n
On the bright side, I do have a grand plan for the next few weeks. Before I fall back on working in the service industry – and serving coffee at Timmy’s – I’m going to connect with a few volunteer organizations that interest me and use this time to become more active in my community. If nothing else, it’ll give me something interesting to talk about when someone asks about the gap in my resume during an interview.<\/p>\n
It might give me a new perspective on life. If nothing else, it should help keep my normally worrying down to a minimum while I’m pounding the payment and searching for a new job.<\/p>\n
