Today's progress

I haven't blogged at all today, I know x_X Admittedly I was slacking off a bit earlier. Today the job search continued. I've been looking at careerbuilder, indeed.com, jobing, and craigslist. Monster has proved useless over the years, so I've all but given up there, but I do look occasionally. Didn't today.

I called my grandmother again this afternoon. She's been a REALLY big help as far as motivating & advising me on my journey to not-sucking-land. She's supportive of me helping with my boyfriend's habits too. Talking to her means I have someone that I can't let down; I give myself "homework assignments" (for example, apply for 10 jobs before the next time I talk to her, etc) so every time I talk to her, which is every few days, I've actually made some progress. Otherwise I get embarrassed. If you're like me and you worry about other people worrying about you, do something similar - find a supportive-but-firm person, and always have something productive to tell them every time you talk to them. And don't lie either!

Tonight is dedicated to bathroom cleaning & laundry. I'm also going to try to start a new habit - doing the dishes every day after dinner. I'm sick of the dishes never being done, and rule #1 for me lately is that if something bugs me, I'm gonna fix it right then when I think of it.

More status reports tomorrow, off I go!
