My lack of progress on the job front is really getting me down now. I have not heard anything back from the last 6 jobs that I have applied for, 2 of these have been re-advertised over the last few days. I did apply twice for a job with a security firm that I formerly worked for, and they are also advertising again for the same position.
Other than these jobs I have not seen any jobs that I would want to apply for. I think I am going to have to lower my expectations and go for jobs on a much lower pay scale that I was applying for before. So, this means that I am going to be applying for jobs at about £9K less than I was earning. How's that for a shock to the system?
I have been quite proud of myself, up until now, over how I have been handling the whole sacking situation emotionally. Considering I only came off my anti-depressants in July, I think I have coped brilliantly with the whole situation. Yes, I've had my down times, but they haven't been crashes like I have had in the past. They have only been hours of feeling down at the most, rather than days, or weeks in some cases. It has now been 5 weeks, 7 if you include the time I was suspended for, and I am getting a bit stir crazy here in the flat with nothing to do other than search the 'net for jobs.
I have been out for drinks once a week since I was sacked and now I am at a point where I won't be able to do that for fear of using up all the money that I have left.
I also cut out buying comics from my routine about 3 weeks ago, to save money. This really grates on me as it is a hobby, and a habit, I have had since I was 8 years old. It is especially annoying as it would give me something to do while I am at home bored out of my brain. I guess that I will just have to re-read my old ones yet again, the ones I'm not selling on eBay to raise money to live, that is!
My intention is to have some news for you on the job front by Monday at the latest. Just wait and see!
