So, last night I get home and I see that my dad has sent me a check for a pretty nice amount. My parents do this a lot when they know I'm "in need". I started getting really misty eyed. Here I am....almost (a few months!) FORTY and my parents are sending me money to help me out in these hard economic times. It's so appreciated but I also feel like I'm worthless. Because I'm having such a hard time finding something new I feel like even my P's don't have the confidence in me that I'll land something. Now, I know that their concern only comes out of love but I'm just having such a hard time with this whole thing. I've always been able to support myself and make a decent living. This is the first time since I was about to leave college that I'm really worried about money. But as I've talked to numerous friends about this who are around my age, they too say that they've received help from their parents and there's nothing to be ashamed of. Umm....
I was listening to Drex this morning (they kind of drive me nuts but it's nonsense radio and really that's all I can handle while driving to work) and he was talking about "funemployment". Instead of looking at it like UNemployment, it should be looked on as FUN where you don't have to do the daily grind and the feeling of Groundhog's day becomes nonexistent. Well, this is all fine and dandy but doesn't anyone have to pay a mortgage or have really high bills??? I'd love some time off to enjoy the summer but honestly, I need to be making the coin.
Today I got an email from a chap in London who's looking for "September employment". Not sure what that's all about but I assume that he's in school and wants to do something for a month in the video game industry. Instead of just deleting the email, I responded to let him know our situation and to wish him luck. I truly don't want to blow anyone off these days especially since I know how crappy that feeling is since no one is returning/responding to any of my emails/inquiries.
Here's to all you FUNemployment people. Enjoy the relaxation while you can. I wish you all the best!
HIRE ME!
