effex: let's just shine (let's just shine)
I'm pretty sure I lost a week somewhere. I came down with a head cold and stuffed heads are not conducive to accurate timekeeping.

Still sending out resumes, still not hearing anything back. Have widened the search to include Admin/Receptionist type jobs, which is what I did right out of college, but nadda. I know the job market's horrible right now, but I'm wondering if the problem is my resume and cover letters - any chance one of you folks knows a good review service?

Otherwise keeping busy! I'm writing, I'm drawing, I'm cooking, I'm leaving the apartment at least once a day. I got to have lunch with [personal profile] colorblue... last week? And she was awesome. I've been to a couple meetups. I've got a volunteer thing later today. The building owner has me showing an empty apartment for him, which'll knock some money off my rent. I've signed up for Elance and am trying to relearn this proposal business. I did my taxes and got a sweet refund.

I'm not feeling homesick - I like Chicago, even in the winter, and I talk to my family all the time. I'm figuring out my way around, I'm meeting people, I'm easing past my creative block... if I could find a job* I'd be set.

* It's only been three weeks, I know, I know, but this shit is nerve wracking.

WHO'S GOT AN INTERVIEW? Me, that's who! Part time and seasonal, but it's actual design work for a big company.

Game face time.
