Alright, so it's been a while since I've relaunched this blog, however that time is now. For anyone out there not familiar or just joining me. Welcome to my personal blog. My name is Eric and while I can't promise you an adventure full of riches I can promise you a view of my life, for what it's worth. I'm coming up on a year since the store closed down. I've been fortunate enough to be able to collect unemployment, but it's only barely enough. Enough to get by on paying rent to my Mom, and to send some money to my Dad for insurance and cell phone bills with only a little left over for me which normally goes to gas and food. I grow weary of the job search, of not working, and of worrying of what happens if a monetary emergency comes along.
I hate looking for work, I really do. It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I have a hard time finding jobs that I feel like I'm qualified to do. I apply with high hopes only to be met with...NOTHING. No phone calls for interviews, hell I would be happy with even a straight out no. But here I am, plugging away. I am running out of options though. I'm already running out of my first extension of unemployment benefits and I always get a little shaky because I'm not sure if I'll get my 2nd set of benefits. I should, but I don't know, I'm a little uneasy when a government agency says that claims should be filed for you. I don't like not knowing and let's be honest, I have little faith in this government actually doing it's job.
Speaking of the government not doings it's job. For the second year in a row the damn DMV has failed to send me my car registration and sticker. It didn't have any problem sending the notice out, and it didn't have any problem taking my money. Yet somehow it can't get my registration to my house. I'm really hoping it's not because the car is registered under my Dad's name and he no longer lives with us. Which, I don't see where that would be a problem, but I'm guessing that may be the case since I never had this issue until my parents split up.
So yeah, back to jobs. I can't find em, I spend hours scouring resources daily, internet job boards and the like. And I try to do at least on application per day. But I don't know, I wish someone could sit there and just tell me what the deal is. I feel like I can do a lot of jobs out there but I don't have "x" degree or "y" certification. What happened to places where they train you on the job? I don't know...positive thoughts, maybe something will turn up. I really do want to get back to working, and I really do want to get back to school. I don't want to live this life any more, I want to live comfortably, take care of my parents, and eventually move on. I shall start posting more updates, I have a few extracurricular activities in the works that I may finally get started on here soon. Thanks for reading.
