100 Applications After Graduation

Image
Original photo by  Parker Byrd / Unsplash Today I reached 100 applications submitted since graduating this spring (2 months ago). Every single one of these positions I applied to I would have loved. Truthfully, I applied to a few dream jobs that were a bit above my qualifications. Out of those I have received a total of 3 call-backs, 2 phone interviews, 2 in-the-running emails, 20 denial emails, and 26 with no updates in a month or more. I know this because I made a spreadsheet. Some dream jobs; all I would have loved I am not unemployed, mind you, I have work. I have a day job, I freelance, and I have money making hobbies. Though I have these opportunities I still want a position I can grow with along side my business. Unfortunately, spending this much time applying for jobs is taking away from time with my kiddo. I made a relevant assumption that as soon as I graduated from school I would be able to focus extra time to my family and increase projects for my business.

My First Whole30 Fail

Image
Photo by Igor Ovsyannykov / Unsplash I had my first fail yesterday and I ain't even [that] mad. Though, I am feeling completely bloated. Here's my excuse/reason/whatever-you-wanna-call-it: I am sitting at work, minding my own business when a group of co-workers walk in and invite me down to have my pick at left over – catered – Mexican food. I had just finished my lunch of garlic shrimp with red bell peppers I had prepped the night before (it was delicious and filling) and I let them know. One of the women reminded me I could take it home to feed the kid-o. So, I trotted along side them chatting, enjoying the time away from my desk until we got to this hall way of heaven. This was AUTHENTIC Mexican food. I took a paper plate and added a piece of delicious smelling chicken breast next to a pile of colorful potato medley that in my mind I knew my child would scoff at. I took a pre-portioned tortilla covered in foil as it was passed to me. There were plates and bowls of so

Imperfect Produce: A Review

Image
I received a  referral code for Imperfect Produce  while soliciting people's favorite subscription boxes in a social media post. After about a whole 10 minutes of looking over the site and viewing prices, I had chosen the small, organic box delivered every other week. To clarify what making a decision in 10 minutes of looking into a product means—you have to understand—I still have stuff in any given online shopping cart for a week before I either commit or delete it. So, it delivered at the end of the week (that just happens to be when they deliver to my area). I was sent an "oops" email saying that they were not able to add the Organic Pears and Mandarins and would be crediting me according to how much they would have cost me as well as the delivery fee (I guess I forgot there would be one?). But then this email made me realize, I had forgotten to get online during their selection process window to pick out what I actually wanted in my box. My anxiety peake
