It is spring now. We had some fleeting glimpses earlier this year, only to have our hopes dashed by day-long snow storms. But it’s no longer a tease – as of today there is no snow left on the ground.
I had been feeling pretty down last night. It’s been a while looking for work, and things weren’t looking great. Being in the position of needing a job, and needing training for a better job is not an enviable one. Last night, I was seriously considering a survey call center position I’ve seen in several places recently. The hours and pay suck, but I’m sure they would hire me.
This morning I fired off an email to a position doing web design in Rocky Hill. I got a call ten minutes later, and we moved forward. I now have a job doing web design where I’ll be able to keep learning and advancing my skills, while not having to compromise on the pay. It’s idyllic, and I know I’m going to need to work my ass off to earn my keep. I’m ready to learn. It’s time to sell out hard. This is the only marketable skill I have and I need to squeeze it for all it’s worth.
