It’s a new week, so happy Monday folks! I hope this week is good for you.

My days are running into each other and each week seems to be pretty much like the previous week.

I’ve sent out something like around a hundred resumes till date, but there’s been no response at all from any employer. Day-by-day, I feel my confidence deteriorating and there are times when I seriously think about my employability status and wonder whether I should just chuck it and become a SAHM permanently. I also need to take a decision about my helper R. Her contract ends sometime in mid-September and I need to figure out whether to continue the contract or let her go. I am in two minds about this – if I let her go and I secure a new position, I would really feel her absence as she is a very good worker. But then the other question is can I afford her salary, especially when I am at home these days and there’s not much work for her to do. Hopefully, this week will be better for me than the previous week.

I’ve been creating a lot of content for both this blog and In My Hands Today, so this is what keeps me busy all day!

Have a great week guys!

Another boring week for us, though it was a short week for BB & GG and S also had a break in the middle of the week.

Whenever we get a holiday in the middle of the week, I get reminded of an old friend, who loved hump day holidays! She loved the idea of a break in the middle of the week, a reset of sorts, and every time there’s a holiday on a Wednesday, I always think of her!

I didn’t have a good week career-wise though. The one place I went for an initial interview, didn’t shortlist me for the next round. I must have applied to atleast 50-60 places since May, but there has not been even a single interview. I was thinking about this and realised, another colleague who was in a similar situation (like me, her position also got eliminated, but she was pregnant, so she left when her contract ended which was in her last trimester). She’s much younger than me and with a degree with a better market value and is still unemployed! When I started thinking about her, I felt even more bad – someone like her is still unemployed and where does that make me stand?

Enough of this depressing thoughts! On to happier thoughts this Monday! Hope you have a great week….
