OK - there is hope!

I've been away at my parents house for a few days and did some job searching from there. I was so excited to find two jobs to apply for that I hadn't already applied for AND look really exciting. There is hope. And I know summer is a terrible time to look for work because everyone is planning vacations and it's a more laid back time at most offices so I'm excited there are a few things to get me jazzed.

I've also been having some fun thinking of ways to make a living that don't necessarily involve an office. I don't mean the lottery. I just need to think of something worth writing about. Or worth doing. Hmmm...I'll keep thinking. In the meantime I applied for both of those jobs and for one, I wrote the bravest, most aggressive cover letters ever. I basically started it with the sentence "After reading about your company and the position you have available, I cannot imagine a better person for your team than I". I wrote that. After I sent it I was nervous but why not? Clearly the "I am writing to request consideration for the position of..." isn't working.

On another note, I did find out that I am officially my nieces and nephews' favorite aunt. That trumps finding a new job to apply for. Well, it's a different contest but still is cool.

The state of economy worries me as I'm wondering if people will hold off hiring but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
