Greetings to you creative breed, from my humble abodeJ . Today I’m feeling * SOOO GREAT*, (
can you tell?) which is totally contradictory to the day’s weather… Yes I woke
up to a misty, drizzly Gillets. I enjoy this cold/England weather now… I could
attribute it to residing in Joho for a while, but naaah it is hot there too. It’s
the simple fact that it releases me from FOMO and encourages productivity. You
see, when it’s hot I want to do everything except “think”. I dabble with
insanity when it’s too hot. I get all kinds of tired ( because the sun drains
energy and the moon boosts energy), irritable ( clothes don’t fit), confused (
in my defense, everyone’s facial expression
is like that) and just like bleh…. This
is weird because I used to looove the summer, I still do love the summer,nights
that is.
Thanks to today’s weather; I have regained my cognitive command and my “jab
search” (yes job with an “a” pronounced with a wide open mouth "aaaa") has been blissful. Izolo phela bengisure ukuthi
ngiyafa ngendlela ebekushisa ngayo, however on the plus side I made four
submissions.
Applications, applications, applications, wowzers! I feel like I
resemble right iC.V nje manje. No don’t get me wrong I am not complaining, because
I mean it is my life and thanks to my dear sister and bruv; I’m going about it
in the most comfortable manner, inadvertently then putting pressure on me to
find a job as in yesterday. It’s as if someone is saying, “hhawu awukakatholi
lutho namanje, hhayi ngeke?” Hahahaha (that is not entirely true), I know this
is a silly thought because I’m not H.R, however I know better than to believe
everything I think.
What I have learned through this whole process?
Hmmmm, looking for a job
when you have a job and when you don’t have a job is different|| It is tiring ||
A cover letter is tough to draft for a job you are not keen for.|| It is easy
to get distracted || It gets so intense.|| You begin to consider taking jobs you wouldn’t
have in a milllllion years|| It can feel
like you are writing exams|| Salaries can screw with your mind|| Have
deliverables that you can achieve at the end of each day|| And deliver them to
self || Go with what feels best|| Even if it wasn’t what you thought you were
looking for|| Rather have fun|| Take a break|| Find a really good thing to keep
your mind of *tings (my nephew, I am obs) || Let it go || Have faith|| Do it ||
Keep looking ‘til you find one that sounds like it was designed for|| Stop and
start and stop and start again || Did I mention, to have fun with it || Finally,
SURRENDER your whole process to the Universal H.R organizer|| And begin to feel
like it’s yours, because IT IS. J
Please do share your "jab search" stories with me down below and carry on with this day the best way you know how:)
