Just eh...
I've been a blogging slacker, but I haven't had much to say. Though I have been doing a bit more - shock, horror! - actually writing in a physical journal. You know, with a pen and everything.
The job I got a while back ended up not working out, so I'm on the job hunt again. I was a bit amused yesterday when I got calls from not one, but two recruiters about a position they thought I'd be a good candidate for. It's the same job - the one for which the boss decided I "wasn't a good fit." *sigh* Hopefully something else will turn up soon. On the plus side, one of the recruiters is with a company I've tried to make contact with before and had no luck, and the recruiter was impressed enough with my resume that she asked if she could contact me if they get any other projects or jobs that I could be a match for. I figure the more work-related contacts I have, the better off I'll be.
I still miss my dog, but at least I'm not crying every day like I was at first. At least it's not weird to be at home and not have him right by me, but I'll be glad when I can think of him without having waterworks involved. I know I'll get there at some point - life goes on and all that - but I do wish it would hurry up. My fuzzy guy deserves to be remembered with smiles instead of tears.
Other than that, my life is just a bunch of eh. Hence the lack of updates here - hell, I'm bored by my own life; I don't feel all that inclined to bore others with it as well.
Happy All Hallow's, everyone, and enjoy the extra hour of sleep tonight if you get to Fall Back.

What does that phrase mean, "not a good fit"? That's the only reason given for why I was fired from my job in August. I still don't understand how I wasn't a good fit - I had more experience in my duties than those who held the jobs I was supposed to take over and, in the short 2 weeks I was there, I had also gotten positive comments from our guests whereas the others got negative comments. Additionally, I arrived early, didn't leave before my shift was over, didn't take a cigarette break every hour, dressed appropriately, etc. How can that be a poor fit? I don't get it. Anyway, I'm sorry the job didn't work out. But it always sounds like there's alot more work available where you live than where I do and that you can get the kind of work you want, so I'm sure something else will come quickly along.
I'm also glad to hear you are feeling a bit better about your dog. So many people don't understand how difficult it is to lose a pet, if they are more to you than just an animal. Tears hurt, but I also believe very strongly they are an important part of letting someone we love go.

I think "it's not a good fit" means they just don't like you; sort of the equivalent of "it's not me, it's you" from the dating world. And obviously, you weren't like the other employees at the last job, so you weren't going to fit in with the others since you have better work traits than they did.
