Where I am with the job hunt

I spent a little over a week just organizing myself: sorting through all the crap I had to bring home from my office, figuring out unemployment, rewriting my resume, making lists and lists and lists...

Now I'm in the actual job hunt. It isn't so hard at this point. It's mostly tedious.

It's super-convenient that nowadays we can apply for jobs online, either by sending a resume via email, or by filling in profiles on company websites. The second part is the the tedious one. It's mostly cut-and-paste. It's just that it takes time.

When I say tedious I'm not complaining. I'm just describing.

Recruiters have started contacting me. I've been getting emails from ex-colleagues. One of my favorite bosses from the past just got laid off too, so we were comparing notes.

I'm doing other stuff, too. Last night I did a ton of ironing. Tonight I'll do another ton.

I've been running and doing some cool stretching exercises (see the picture). I've also been dressing up every day, so that if I ran into anyone I wouldn't have to apologize for my appearance.

Today I was a the library and realized I could do my job hunting there, if I got tired of doing it from home. They have wifi.

And last but absolutely NOT least, I went to the spa down the street to make an appointment for tomorrow. My mother gave me a gift certificate for a massage tomorrow. It's for an hour massage, but found I can extend it to 90 minutes for $40. So tomorrow I'm going to be kneaded like a loaf of bread.
