I started writing this post this morning but I got sidetracked by looking at old MadTV clips on YouTube. After about four of them, I totally forgot what I was going to post. The power of the funny.
This afternoon I talked to my mother on the phone and was reminded about this post. Yeah, I still don’t have a job. I know she means well but when she asks me about what I do with my time all day and what my prospects are it just kind of gets on my nerves. Even though I tell her that I’ve just been on an hour-long webinar about adult learning and social media, I know it comes out to her as, “blah, blah, blah”. And, so I change the subject. I also remind her that I will alert the media when the news changes.
Yes, some days it’s all about reading and doing all the small, stupid things that normally you’d take care of on the weekend. It is just not worth talking about. I went to the grocery store. I vacuumed the heck out of the house. I made granola bars from scratch. Whoopteedoo.
But, today, I’ve had two people reach out about job possibilities and then I sat in on the webinar and tweeted with people on the webinar. So? Interesting day in my book. Also, while I was out this morning picking up some seafood at the fish monger I saw a woman take her toddler into an “Adult Specialty Boutique” (just looked up their description online to get those exact words). That has got to be chalked up to interesting, yes? Yes.
