It's no fun looking for a fulltime job, and it's no fun having that job search in the back of your mind constantly, and it's certainly not fun without a steady income. But it is fun to be able to take a day, or at least part of a day in the middle of the week, to go do something fun and avoid the crowds.Friday, Emma and I went to Martinez to check out the snow city workers created, and we did a little sledding. On Tuesday, the whole family jumped on BART and went to San Francisco to look at the Christmas sights. We took a trolley, a cable car and walked all around the city. Beyond the joy of visiting San Francisco, it was great to get out on a weekday afternoon and not have to fight the weekend crowds. It was a peek into what life must be like for the rich or retired, but not something I want to keep going for much longer without a regular job.
Updates on job interviews: I called an executive about a second interview, and await a callback. At another job I'm applying for, the interview for Friday was called off by the employer after a work emergency forced some delays, and they expect to call me in the next week or so to reschedule. Let's hope it happens before Christmas.

Weekdays ARE wonderful, but that nagging thought about the job search...well, it is difficult to be joyfully unemployed, at the very least.
I keep thinking that all the unemployed are going to have to become entrepreneurs and start our own businesses--if we could only find that NEED that we could somehow fill. I've just about decided I need to put my two great loves together--reading and writing and start writing reviews or editing for hopeful writers. Hmm. Wonder how I can get that started?
