Pick Me! Pick Me!
Wednesday I had an interview. I answered all the questions asked of me expertly. Asked the interviewer some pretty good questions as well. Actually had stumped her with a few of them. Came across that I was an authority on how to raise funds in this challenging economy. And during said interview, I felt as […]
The Value of Friendship
Jobs these days seem awfully hard to come by. There are times when I fell so utterly unemployable, like not a soul cares to hire me. I indulge in these pity parties sometimes, not thinking about what I do have. A reminder that there are better days would sure be welcome sometimes. I decided to […]
My Summer Sanctuary
Even though the calendar says summer won’t arrive for a few weeks (unofficially), or until June (officially), the season’s begun for me. And not a moment too soon! At my social club, I have a small room where I can go to get away from it all. The club is located in a beautiful, bucolic […]
The Return, or, Indifference
I’d been anticipating this situation for months. As we all know, expectations often don’t match with reality. Sometimes, things work out quite differently. Over the weekend, my social club thew a party, celebrating the imminent return of warmer weather. Spring arrived, with Memorial Day only a handful of weekends away. Lounge chairs sat in neat […]
This Job’s a Scam
I’ve been looking since November for a job, and even more so after my last day at the end of January. I’ve never lost hope that perhaps the right opportunity would come along. After attending webinars about how to update my resume and cover letter so that AI can read it, creating a list of […]
Mis-Match
One morning, before I perused the job posts and tried to find something I could apply to, I went to my dating app to see what action there might be. A man “liked” me and he seemed halfway decent. He was a writer, like me, and he played poker, also, like me. We were about […]
Among Friends
I like to entertain. Thing is, I don’t do enough of it. Seems like no one else does either, so if there’s a fun gathering of friends needing to happen, I’m usually the one throwing the party. Last month was my birthday. I wasn’t thrilled about it, mainly because I’m unemployed and wasn’t exactly in […]
My Friend, AI
She looks pretty cool, doesn’t she? That’s my new friend, AI-mie, the newly-generated woman that the WordPress image generator drew up for me. She totally looks like she has it going on, in a somewhat decaying urban setting. Ready for action, AI-mie will jump into any fray, with a cool head and a thirst for […]
Tacking On Another Year
Another year has flown the coop, and I feel like a bird with clipped wings. Although I feel great and still can pass for looking pretty good, I’m not sure about the road ahead. This is the time when most people my age start planning their retirement. I’m in the unenviable position of never being […]
Not This Again…
The writing was on the wall, but I was so busy that I didn’t notice until it was too late. My boss and I had quite a conversation on our weekly meetup call. We both work remotely, so every Monday we’d have a half-hour talk about tackling the projects I’d been assigned. On this particular […]
