*NEW VIDEO!* Biggest Loser - An Update

I don't know if some of you have been reading the blog lately, but there have been changes happening.

I moved back in with my parents. This was, however, after an EXTENSIVE round of even more job interviews that didn't pan out despite spending hours and hours in the car driving back and forth between this and that.

I am le tired.

I did manage to finish a book (the review is up in a past entry) and make today's video amidst unpacking and cleaning and spending a little time with friends and throwing shit away and selling stuff on eBay and just generally reevaluating pretty much every single one of my life choices.

We'll see how this latest string of job interviews go before I make any further plans, though.

Anyway, so here's the update:

Next week: Psych!

2014 Reading Update

I have been super busy lately, what with getting myself injured and going on various job interviews that have inevitably lead to nothing but disappointment and stress migraines.

I started to read two separate books since the last time I posted a book review and both of them have just sat, untouched, after the first few pages because I have been so depressed and non-functional (both physically and emotionally) that I just could not pick them up again.

Maybe I was just aiming too high with those books (one was quite a big one and the other is a very dense, because yes, those are two separate things). I've decided to pick up another one and try to start over with that.  Something smaller, but one that I have actually been wanting to read for some time. It's along the same lines as my favorite subject matter(s) and I'm hoping that it will spark my brain into actually WANTING to read again.

Onward.

*NEW VIDEO!* The Post Pre-Interview Test Video

SO!

Things have been interesting the past two weeks, what with all the interview nonsense.  I don't think there will ever be a point in my life where I walk into an interview situation and actually feel like I'm going to get the job.  Does that part ever get any better?

Someone asked me why I don't just get a little job first so that I at least have an income and just look for another job later. The answer to that is both simple and very complex. I don't want to rush into a job that I think is going to be temporary and would most likely drive me insane, because I know the type of person I am. I am the type of person who would STAY in that hell job, bored and frustrated for the rest of my life if given the choice because I would be safe.  I fear and loathe the interview and resume proccess so much that I would just settle down with whatever pissy little occupation set itself in front of me and then end up hating myself more and more as time goes by (re: Wal-Mart for 5 years).

I pretty much know that nothing around here is going to make me happy (that would involve limitless amounts of cash, a personal trainer, and Tom Hiddleston on speed dial), but I at least want to find something that I can make a living off of and not want to go postal and stab all of my co-workers in the face (re: Wal-Mart for 5 years).

And so that brings me to all the running around I have been doing lately. Let me break it down for you:

Feb 1-2: On the coast with parents
Feb 3: Drive 2 1/2 hours to prison interview #1
~1 1/2 hours to Hattiesburg
(this is where the back pain began and I could not stand up)
Feb 7: Back to parents for chiropractor
Feb 9: Back to house
Feb 11: Up to Tara's for prison interview #2
Feb 13: 3 1/2 hours back to coast for chiropractor
Feb 17: 3 1/2 hours back to Tara's for office pre-interview test

And I have to head back to Hattiesburg tomorrow for the Hideout fundraiser.

Then back to the coast Friday for the chiropractor.

I am tired.
