Not that I don't have things still to say about the job market and my current role.....but I may just need to turn this JOG into a DOG: Dating Blog. I'm just saying. Times are tough.....for me personally. I'm back on the market....the dating market, that is. Oy!
More to come......soon!
DATE ME!

Take A Number
Long time no JOG. I think I've used this before but who cares....I'm recycling material.
So.....my job is.....fine. It's fine. I'm kept EXTREMELY busy which is cool but I'm almost too busy (working way more than the standard 40 hrs a week). I'm having to tell folks that I can't assist them at this time (in my mind this means 'never'). I've never really had to do this before but now I do. I'm pushing work off. I hate when my heart races because I have so much going on at once. Now that I have independent health care and a higher deductible, I can't afford to have a heart attack so I'm TRYING to remain calm. For me this is very tough. I am a passionate person and wear my emotions on my sleeve and face (more so face than sleeve....I mean who really wears anything on their sleeve except for a shirt?!). But I have to take a deep breath and reason with myself that I can only do so much. I am one person. So back the F off!
In other news....I feel like as a recruiter I'm really getting known. I'm getting emails from all over the world requesting my assistance in their job search (most I can't help as how many jobs do I know in India???). People have "heard good things about me". Huh. Who knew? I would like to eventually just have my own clients if I could manage the tracking down of money. But for now I'm OK.
Alright...I've gotta get back to it. I can only take so much time away from this job. These wine promos, credit card merchant programs and cooking demo mall promotions are not going to staff themselves.
Holla!
