No More Excuses

 

Hello Everyone:

I'm feeling less resentful today.  I had a good day, doing everything I needed to do.  I had my phone appointment with the job coach today.  It was a good appointment.  The person I spoke with mostly does resume and cover letter critique but gave me links to better sources.  I plan to follow up with that.  Little by little I will achieve my goal.  Right now it's just a lot of networking and follow up.  It can be so mind numbing but it what has to be done.  When I spoke to the job coach I clearly articulated what I wanted to get out of this experience: skills training and a job.  One skills training that would aid me is project management.  It something I've heard of but never really pursued.  Maybe now is the time.  Now that I don't have the mum excuse I can focus on the things I need to do for myself.  When mum was alive and in need of care, I had a convenient excuse not fully pursue any skills training or opportunities.  After all, my first priority was mum.  She's gone and now I don't have that excuse anymore.  It was also a good excuse to be a little lazy.  I guess I can't do that anymore either.  Probably a good thing because I need re-impose some self-discipline, starting with getting up with the alarm.  Anyway, we'll see what comes out of all this networking and follow up.  I'm going to take an optimistic approach about it and do the work necessary to achieve my goals.
