The Hunt continues....

I know it's been a while since I've blogged, but I've come to a point where I was not sure if I should continue "sharing" my thoughts, my words, bits and pieces of my life because it's almost like I'm being vulnerable at the same time. Special thanks to my blogger friend Boni. I just read her blog and her post motivated me to write a blog on my page!

So what's been going on with me? Let's see....what shall I write about? Oh okay, I know...my quest to find a J-O-B.

I'm still job-hunting and it's actually becoming exhausting. At one point, Floyd told me to take a break. I guess he saw that it was wearing me out how I would apply for a job, interview for the job, then get the "I'm sorry" letter notifying me that I didn't get the job. It took a toll on me, indeed. I have friends and family helping me out, but we just don't seem to understand why it's hard to get hired out here. I'm always "over qualified" or "under qualified", but never just QUALIFIED. It's frustrating! Oh no, but my frustration doesn't mean that I'm giving up. I still apply for at least 2 jobs a day, follow up with the employment agencies on any openings and the cycle goes on and on.

So while I'm hunting for a job, I'm told that people back on Saipan seem to take a big interest on my life out here. Mainly, asking if I'm working yet, etc. Besides my immediate family, why do other people have to know if I got a job or not? What's in it for them? It's almost like some people feel powerful because I'm unemployed and they're employed. Someone even had the audacity to ask me (over and over) if I enjoyed being unemployed. I said I did because it gives me the overdue vacation I needed. That person said, "Oh yeah, will you still be happy when the bills come in?" OH.MY.GOSH!!! Are my finances your business, too?! It's a shame that others find joy in being sarcastically obnoxious. They obviously have nothing better to do with their lives.

As much as I miss home, that's exactly the crap I don't miss one bit!
