Unsure of the Unknown

Well, well, well... Happy new year, happy booed up day, happy baby Jesus rose from the dead for our sins day, and happy mama day to you all. I know its been quite a while, but I have been extremely busy. More so than I care to share... NO, its not a new job, but still, I have been busy.

So I am online at 1 a.m. updating my linked in account, figuring out where to frame this certificate, and obsessing on why with so much education and work background (just not in what I want to be when I grow up) am I having a hard time finding suitable work. Now don't get me wrong folks, I do have a job, I just so happen to be quite underemployed. And I am quite impatient... meaning, if I am putting blood, sweat, and tears into school and networking (and we all know I am an introvert when need be), why am I being passed up for jobs? I know I don't do that well in interviews (at least that's how I feel), but still!

Then I got to thinking... I am not the only one that is struggling... and to be quite honest, I shouldn't be complaining because I have a job at least right??? While to contrary belief this would be correct way of thinking, I will disagree on this one. Why?? Well I am me... and I don't think a lot of people have this same mind set. See, what I am getting at is that if we don't hold ourselves to a higher level, then we will accept the okie-doke in life. I believe that I am destined for greatness, and a bunch of Jimmy Choo's, okay that might have been a little extra, but so what. The point is that, we get complacent in life, and that's when we accept what life has dealt instead of making some input as to what you want to do. Now don't get me wrong, I am all for baby Jesus, and I know that a lot of times, its about patience and so on. But some folks don't even make a way for him to help you and expect it to just come to them. I'm gonna need you folks to put on your thinking caps and at least try... 

With that being said, we do have a lot of environmental factors affecting us... such as the current employment stats. Although we have a small gain in the lack of unemployment clams filed this quarter, the percentages are still not looking good. Many analyst state that some of the clams are down due to people just giving up job searches and applying in general for unemployment (although I can't see why, that was the best three months of my life - even with a part time job). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of the 14th of this month, the unemployment rate has been steady going down, for April 2012 is estimated at 8.1%. There is still a lot that needs to be worked on, but you can check out the stats at the hyperlink above. My point is that folks will still try to use this as an excuse...and while challenging this is for people in particular job fields, its always an alternative for finding work.

I started to ramble on, but I just needed to vent. Sometimes, it feels as if I will never get anywhere. And I know I need to be patient, but I have never been the type to do that. Maybe what I am studying isn't in the cards for me. I always did want to act, style people, or do a little bit of make-up artistry. Maybe my problem is that I want to do everything at once... I do have ADD like tendencies. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great. Or at least let me know if I am the only one feeling this way and how to handle it. Till then, tootles!
