#2 Get a FT job in Online Marketing

Looking for a job is tough and it causes a lot of stress. You have all this free time on your hands but you can't really enjoy it because a) you're broke, b) you feel guilty spending any of your free time NOT looking for a job, and c) you're not saving ANY money. These things may not cause stress to everyone, but they got to me after about the third month of being unemployed.

I guess I wasn't ever really "unemployed." I was laid off from Elance - and then immediately started a PT Admin job at UCSF thanks to a great hookup from an awesome friend. That kept me going and kept my rent and car payment paid and everything was fine except for the fact that I am a creative person and the admin work was sooooo tedious. There were many days that I'd wake up and try my hardest to be thankful that I have work - but a couple hours into it, I'd be dying for some sort of creative outlet. That's when I'd find myself on Facebook, updating my status, taking pointless quizzes and commenting on anything that i found remotely interesting. Facebook is a very unhealthy habit - for me (I don't judge the constant usage of others, just my own). When I find myself on FB for longer than about five minutes, I'd try to redirect myself to some sort of news page or information site to try to use my boredom time to read something useful. It didn't always work though - Facebook could suck me in for HOURS on end.

I've completely gone off topic. #2 Get a FT job in Online Marketing - is the first goal on my list that I've completed and I'm totally stoked! I have a JOB. And it's in Online Marketing. This is AWESOME. Today starts my first full-week at CVSDude and I can't wait to get started...
