Drowning in hopeless

Well, I thought I never be able to find job. I even check out about "Contract" jobs. It is depend on which company. Well, one got me interesting but I found out it is all bullshits.

Well, I feel sooo..... I dunno.

So, I decided to explore more through internet. Somehow I landed in this Website... I use the copy and paste here***********************

Are You Feeling Isolated In Your Job Search?
If you feel alone and isolated in your job search, there is hope. No one has to, or should, feel isolated during their job search.If you feel isolated, perhaps it means you confine yourself to your home and spend all day searching for jobs on the Internet. If you have a strong feeling of isolation and disconnection from the world, perhaps today is the day for new strategies! Being isolated from the world is not healthy for your job search. In some cases this isolation can trigger the “blues” or varying levels of depression. Moreover, a job seeker functioning in this state of mind is not very productive and not attractive to employers. Here are five strategies I recommend to overcome isolation:

1. First, leave your home for many hours each day because jobs are not in your computer. It will be a miracle if you do land an interview due to the Internet. If you want great things to happen in your job search, then go where business people are... they are in their offices, at professional meetings, at conferences, at lunch, etc. Mingle with them, integrate yourself into the business world, be seen, and be visible. This is the best way to find a job and your feeling of isolation will diminish. Question: Where and How can I come up to them?? I mean, how can I approach while they have lunch at resturant? Or Ya mean show up in the cafetereia in the work buisness?? They do have cafeteria, or small place where to go to lunch.. right? Mmmm, I wonder, how is that possible? I really don't know the area. *sigh* Maybe I should get out more. So, I can learn more about my area.

2. Second, consider volunteer work. Select organizations you believe in and invest a couple of hours each week volunteering. It will make you feel great about yourself, you will have an opportunity to help other people, and your isolation will diminish. It’s a great tool to build new business relationships and network. Maybe I should go to volunteer by cut down my work hours so I have more time to do the volunteer. Mmmmm, There's a nearby Animal Shelter but is there another better way to volunteer?? I mean, what kind of company, there isn't one here. It is all shopping center around here. If I want to go to buisness that would be in Dallas or Ft. Worth but I don't know where are they and what kind of buisnness are they??

3. Attend professional meetings. A group of professionals with similar backgrounds and interests will be useful. They know what is going on at other companies and in their industries. They have connections you need. Become an active member in the organization, volunteer for projects, get involved in committees, talk with other people, follow up with other people you were interested in, etc. Be seen, be visible, and be active. Mmmm Again, how does that work? How can I partipate? Where can I go to and what company? Other thing, does it feels so weird to show up at the desk... "How can I be a membership here?" What's the best way to confront with all this? That doesn't seems right.

4. Form a career team of 2-3 people who can help you with research and administrative tasks, and allow you to focus on marketing and networking. Meet with these people regularly to discuss your job search, strategies, and ideas.

5. Use the telephone to connect with friends, family members, and others who can support you during your job search. These people may be able to provide you with leads and critical information for your job search. They can boost your spirit as well.Your primary strategy should be focused externally. Job opportunities will not be delivered via your e-mail account. These are just a few strategies to overcome job search isolation. There are many people willing to help you during your job search… connecting with people on a daily basis will be a tremendous boost to your spirit and job search results!

Interesting, huh? Mmmm???

Sometimes, I don't always understand if I'm in the group. I feel so left out everytime I'm in hearing group. How in the world am I going to fit in if I don't understand them half the time. If there is ever one-on-one converstation, which it is very short one minute converstation would be hi and how are you and where are you from. That's it. Heck, I rather sit down and play Chess than having converstation.

Plus, I don't feel confident driving unfamilar area. These roads are so complicated than Eastern part. It is like I spotted something that I want to get off but problem is that I can't because I've alrady miss the ramp that was 20 minutes ago. It sure has very LONG ramp. The ramp is way in the back. While Eastern part, ya get spotted something and get off quickly to get on the ramp and to get there. And another problem there is very little or NO signs what they have before ya get off the ramp. While Eastern part always posted signs to let ya know what they have up there. Geez, what's worst? I know if I'm lost then I'm TOTALLY lost here. Unlike Eastern, when I'm lost... It is just turning wrong direction and all I have to do is to go back. No problem. I've done that many times but here.... It is IMPOSSIBLE to go back where you come from. The roads here are too complacatied. They're not make it simple like the Eastern. Eastern doesn't allow U-turn while here does. I ended up U-turn and I can't go back. I have to drive worth of damn 30 minutes then able to come back. Like I said, here's sooo complicated. It's wasting damn gas. And gas here are soooo expensive, too.

So, I think I better go back to Gergoria. I don't like it here, anymore. There is no jobs around here. If deaf people wants to move here... I'm not coming back ever again. I heard that Austin is popular place for deaf people lives there. I don't care. I just don't like it here. I'm willing to get lost in Gergoria than I am here. I'm willing to get lost in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virgeina, Washington DC, and Maryland. NOT in Texas. I don't care. pppffffffffftttttttttttt

Since, I'm going to visit Labor Day Weekend there in Gergoria, there is very good chance that I'm staying there and not come back. We'll have to wait and see how that's going. Opps, I almost forgotten. I better get that planned to happen to go to visit Atlanta, GA.

See ya!

It's really chilly here but no snowy.
