Set backs are sometimes a good thing

Well last night I had a few mental set backs.  First one was hearing that one of the less active members of my "so you do not have a job" support group got a job.  That is a good thing but I had also applied to the job and did not even get an interview.  It makes you take a step back.  Then a job that I came really close to getting but knew that I did not announced who they did hire.  I guess I was/am upset about it since the person was listed in our local newspaper in the business section as a new hire under non-profits.  It is a dream of mine to be listed in that section of the newspaper.  I know it is silly but I always wanted a job that was important enough to be listed there.  The last bit of news that I got I think I posted about yesterday; a job that I was really interested in was re-scoped and kind of downgraded.  Since I was really into the job I would still take it if offered.

So you ask where is the good stuff in all of this, it is not obvious to say the least.  The good stuff is that I get to keep on trying to find the perfect fit for me.  I get to start all over again.  I re-worked my resume and I am going to post it again to see if I get more than the standard sell insurance calls.  But the best thing is that I did not have to dig out my car yet, no I am kidding.  The best thing is that I get to keep on trying and I know that there will be a light at the end of this tunnel.  

I also started this blog so at least now if asked on an interview what I know about Web 2.0 I can say I have experience in blogging.  That is a very positive thing.  What I need to figure out is who this blog is for, me to vent in a public yet not really forum or some one else.  I will let you know what I figure out.

Also as a follow up from yesterday's self directed questions; although I did not have money in my unemployment account I was told not to worry that it is there and I will get paid this week. I also followed up about the COBRA and they are still looking into it. So no real resolution on either items but there was follow up.

One last note for all that did not know Safari rocks there is an automatic spell checker on everything that you type as you type it.   For the spelling impaired like myself that rocks.  Now if it could only tell me when a comma is correct over a semicolon it would be perfect.
