Days are too short for a blog writer :)

July has gone like... pfffffffffffffffffft!

Work is being so intense... a part time job that would require full time I think.
No holidays this year, what a contrast with last year(s) in the hobbit house.

I've joined my babes several times in Bretonie but would not go there, in the hobbit house. Too many memories.

My devils are back in Paris (they came back 10 days ago). I run to work, come back quickly to take care of them. We spend much time at the swimmingpool, gotta help them learning how to swim better and better.
Yet, they gotta go to some "city" holiday camp. I have no other choice (sigh). But they enjoy it (happy sigh).

When they were in Brittany, I've been out all the time. Friends taking care of me, so precious and incredible. Gotta say I am almost a diva at the moment, refusing invitations again and again. Just no time! :)

Having 2 jobs, taking care of my babes, not forgetting sport and friends. My days are full. Too full to blog that regularly!

Tonight I've just finished a painting. Getting back to it, adjusting to my new crazy rhythm.

Oh in 3 weeks, we should welcome another kitty baby at home!!! She already gets a name, but shhhhhh... secret!

My babes are being wonderful, we make such a perfect trio. They're supportive, helpful and I try to give them back  much love and attention.

Jungle (chapter #38)

So here I am, still looking for a job. I think I'm not the only one by the way (lol when I get a job interview, the pile of resumes is truly impressive!)

My job hunt has been a bit slower lately... with my grand-ma last days and divorce judgement, it was hard to focus on it.
But I'm back to it.

Got a very good interview last week to be a receptionist/assistant (that more or less the pic I gave them, without all that contrast huhu,  they wanted a pic... They often want one!
And I fight hard to not look too tired... pfffff).

Got a super opportunity from a big internet company, but it was abroad... :( ... had to refuse. So frustrating, I could feel THE opportunity.

Medical assistant, part time actress (lol), assistant for laywers, assistant in associations welcoming homeless people, I answer any job offer I can.


Gotta be sure I don't work on weekends or in evenings.

People often worry that I have stopped having a regular job for 10 years.
Sigh.

But I've learnt to know how to sell myself now, and I learn everytime.

I am very curious what kind of job I'll get at the end (soon hopefully!)

From planet Candles

in orbit, I am. Quicksands, always. Tornados often.

3 days, Easter, with hardly any job offer. And school holidays just around the corner, that will be even slower.
No improvement from my grand-ma.. I'm the closest to the hospital so I think I'll be there everyday, till I get a f**&%ing job.

 I need to go out, see people, do more sport (isn't 8 hours/week enough? no nooooo) :P

The Job, part 2

I've spent one hour today working on my second job interview for the company I saw last week.

The first interview went well it seems. On Friday I got a call for second interview tomorrow morning at 10.00am, this time with the HR manager. 
I was so proud.
Funny when you've stopped working in a formal biz environment for 10 years... you get back into it, but you're everything but formal. You answer typical questions, but just can't answer in a typical way. Even if I imagine the expected answers, I have to go straight to the point : 

"Why do you want this job?
"because it is a very interesting position that will allow me to develop my career"
"because (and then I give my most pretty smile) I need to feed my kids"

It would take me 30 minutes to go there, very well located in Paris centre.
I wonder, god I wonder how I'll make it... alone, full time job, the kids, my painting biz, and myself. No holidays for a year.

I need Superman to take care of me sometimes. I should be an emergency for him! : )
Please Superman, come here and take care of me for a couple of hours only. 

It's stressing, but exciting. I'm going to be a super modern girl. Capable to do everything, alone.
And one day, one day trust me, my paintings will be enough. I'll be a successful artist. I wouldn't type it if I wouldn't believe it. Forced to make it happen now : )

edit: both appointments, the job and lawyer have been postponed ! boooo

the Job

Tomorrow, job interview, at 2.00pm, 9th arrondissement, for %%o%ù (fainting with feet pleasure)

Wish me luck!

edit : the interview went pretty well yesterday, so I gotta wait and see if I'll be part of the 3 last ones to get a second job interview : ) ... If it does not work, then... great training for the next one!

Hunter

Hunting for boots comes first to my mind.
Hunting for food or sex come right after.

But right now I'm hunting for a job. Being on my own and just selling paintings is not enough (one day it will be !! ).

It's complicate (and that only sums up pretty well my life at the moment). I gotta find something, part time job, that allows me to take care of my kids at the same time. But making enough money is important, and keeping working on my painting business too. God that's complicate! lol

Online jobs... pretty risky, you have really anything. Usually demanding and not well paid at all.
So, I'm trying anything just now... as long as it sounds serious.

I avoid anything like...

"Vous avez un ordinateur, une webcam, une connexion internet et l'envie de gagner de l'argent facilement en vous amusant : ce job est fait pour vous !" .... steamy!

"Looking for Personal Assistant Needed, Must be able to pass a drug test. All qualifying" ... Annoying!

"URGENT ! Artiste cherche modèle féminin pour poser nue pour ses cours de dessin d'après modèle vivant.(environ 10 élèves)" ... huhu ... ha ben à poil? je passe! lol

"Stage garanti sans photocopie H/F (75016, Paris 16ème)" ... Mwahaha... je déteste pas les photocopies, mais pour que dalle, merci bien!
