You know its bad when, a temp agency actually does call you, because they might have a job (permanent) for you....and all you can think is "uhg, I dont want to go to work!!!!".
yeah....so, there are phases. first one is the excitement of initially being out of work, cause "just a couple of weeks off" sounds SO nice!. the second one is the panick (sp?) phase, in which its three weeks since you have worked, the money is running out...and there are NO prospects of finding a job at all. so, you send out 899876 resumes, and go to temp agencies, pick up retail applications, do everything you can do to FEEL as if you are working hard to get a job. then you move into phase three, which is 2 or so weeks after phase 2, in which depression sets in, and you realize that out of all those resumes that you sent out, and those temp agencies that you went to, you have received ZERO calls about a job. you are penniless, cant even buy groceries to eat, all you do is go to the gym, and watch oprah....OR you go to the gym TO watch oprah, thus feeling somewhat productive. THEN, WHAM! phase 4 hits you like bricks, and you....just let the job thing go. eh....phase 4 is the "i dont want nor need a job" phase. its the "stay at home and be a wife/mother" phase. no more resumes are going out, you stop looking at the classifieds, stop looking on the internet....and well, just enjoy your free day and enjoy (almost revel) the fact that...thats all you have, is FREE time! no obligations...what a wonderful thing! afternoon naps, midday movies...chik-fil-a for lunch at the mall. wonderful days! PLUS you have wedding in a month, and well...it would be SO nice not to work until AFTER the wedding! then, one morning....it happens....you get a call while you are at the gym....a temp agency calls. "they have the perfect job for you!"...and "they wont mind you taking time off for your wedding and honeymoon.". phase 5.....the "dread" phase. when at one time, all you wanted was a good job that made some money and gave you something to do...its not what you want anymore. all you want is to be free everyday, and be able to watch the repeats of "Newlyweds" on MTV, or watch the new "Ellen DeGeneres" show! the last thing you want to do is call that temp agency back to find out more about the job they have for you....in fact, you feel ZERO excitement about getting a job...in fact, it makes you depressed and pissy at the thought of having to wake up everyday to go and do the same job....everyday...day in, and day out...missing all the good tv during the day, and all the free time.
yeah, i am in phase 5....
i am hoping there is a phase 6, in which i call the temp agency and they have a great job for me, paying me tons of money for something that i would LOVE to do...allowing me a whole lot of freedom.
