This week was a whirl wind. You may have noticed posts disappearing off of here. I decided that discussing some aspects of my job search was best left for phone calls with family. That being said, I have interviewed with HP three times in two weeks, and I am awaiting news on Monday about whether or not I am going to be hired. If you need or want any more news on this feel free to call me, if you know me.
Job hunting is one of those interesting times in your life that provides you with more than you can reasonably do at times, while leaving you with tons of time to go crazy. I am spending loads of time with my family, while trying to kill the loads of time that seem to drag on endlessly. The only part of this that really destroys your motivation is the stress. I handle stress incredibly well, under normal circumstances. During the stressful times I do great, but when there is a lull in the action such as a day off I get migraines. I have worked some stressful jobs without any issues, until I get home and have a break. Something about the release and the opportunity to relax gives me a migraine. Migraines run in the family, but as far as I know everyone else gets them in a similar way, only when the stress lulls. So my verdict is that I wish either every second of life was stressful or that every second of life was laid back. I can deal with all levels of end between, but not extremes.
I could work in the most stressful of environments, and so long as I never take a vacation, I am fine.
I am thinking of ways to kill time, and books that I can read. So in looking for boredom busters, I discovered a new book on Kindle that I am reading now. It is Primitive by Mark Nykanen. It is the number 1 book on the Kindle top sellers list right now, mainly because it is FREE. This always makes them better!
So you may be asking what is this book about, click here for a link to the description on amazon.com. I hope if you have a Kindle you give it a chance. If you don’t have a Kindle you can still make an account, and download the Kindle for PC application to read it on your laptop. I wish you all happy reading. I am seriously considering a Book Review blog to voice my personal opinion on all the books I am reading, let me know if you think you might be interested in reading about my adventures in reading.
