Hey all.
Haven't blogged for awhile. There is good reason for that.
First of all Happy New year to all. Hope you enjoyed the end of 2005 and beginning of 2006.
There hasn't been much to blog about, since my life has become a routine of looking for work and not finding it, living with my grandmother and seeing Frankie a couple of times a week.
This last week was really tough since I hadn't seen Frankie at all. I've been helping my grandmother fix the new house she bought, in which I will hopefully not live if I can find work again.
Luckily I made some time yesterday to go pick up Frankie and spend the day with him. Since it's been raining cats and dogs here for a whole week (the weather is seriously fucked up) I took him to one of the malls in Montevideo. Specifically Montevideo Shopping Center (I know, really original name, but it was the first mall to open up here in 1993). While there I took him to McDonald's and he spent at least 4 hours playing in the play area. He had a great time.
I then decided to take him to see a movie. Originally we were going to see The Chronicles of Narnia, but then he saw the poster for Valiant and chose that.
It was a great little movie, about the Carrier Pidgeon service during WWII. Apparently based on true facts, but obviously from the pidgeon perspective. Frankie loved it.
I then took him back to his home and made my way back to my grandma's place.
We had a seriously great time together.
This whole non-work situation has my nerves wracked. I just can't believe I can't get a job. I think I'm going nuts.
I've sent literally dozens of resumés out, but no responses, and that sucks. I'm well qualified for pretty much anything and yet I can't find work. My parents think that I'm over-qualified for work here, since I've worked at IBM, as an English teacher, at an Embassy, at a Call center, as well as other jobs.
I swore yesterday on the bus going home that I am going to find work this week, and find a place to live next week. I HAVE TO!
But everything I want to do depends on my finding work first.
Damn that!
I want to do sooooooo much, but until I find work I can't.
The only thing I can do is not lose hope.
