A new venture

Good evening kittens! I've been a busy little beaver this week with cleaning and redecorating projects designed to keep my unemployed butt busy and away from boredom. Yes, I'm still unemployed. Yes, it sucks. It sucks applying for jobs and never getting a call for an interview. It sucks living with my parents. My mother has the opinion that I simply don't want a job. In her mind, she has convinced herself that all I need to do is walk into a business, tell them I want a job, and poof! it will happen. I will be gainfully employed. I don't know why she believes this but she does. She has had the same job for the past 25 years. That's awesome. But that also means she hasn't been in the job market for a quarter century. She doesn't realize that the vast majority of job openings require the candidate to have at least a bachelors degree or there are a half dozen other people applying for the same job. She tells me I have to take anything, even if it's something I don't want to do. She conveniently ignores the fact that I can't even get a job offer. I'm not declining anything. I wouldn't. I hate not working. There are so many things I want to do but can't because I don't have the money. So I'm not just being lazy. I'm trying. It's just not a good job market. Ok, enough ranting.
     On to food. One of my favorite subjects by far. As many of you know, I consider myself a version of Martha Stewart; I love her and have learned a great deal from her tv shows and books and magazines. That being said, I have always wanted my own cooking show; a forum where I could impart the things I've learned in my life, things I've learned from my great grandma and my two granny's, to other people. So I thought, "Why not do a video series on the blog?" I could record myself in the kitchen, cooking and baking, kinda like Martha or Emeril. So to all my loyal readers, I need some help. Someone who has avideo camera and can edit and post videos on the blog for me. I can't pay money; yet; but I can promise you food.

  2. I understand with the job situation. I had the same job for 18 years then poof I was laid off! After applying to dozens and dozens of jobs plus sending resume & cover letter in (old school) I've had two interviews for one position. Most responses are we've chosen another applicant, or we'll keep your info on file, or you just plain don't hear anything at all. It's definitely a new day and world we live in and is hard to find a job. Networking is a must nowadays to find something.

    Continue your writing and your blog. I believe it helps to write it all out. Good luck with your journey!
