I was thinking last night how anymore my days seem to be the same day over and over. I know we all have this, what with work and family responsibilities, but sometimes it’s even more than a rut or routine. It’s really like the movie with Bill Murray, “Groundhog Day”.
Each day I get up and have some coffee and breakfast, then usually hit the job search online. I make any calls I need to make about jobs and usually am texting friends and my husband in between. Then I tackle any computer or household projects and get on the dreadmill at the last possible moment before my husband comes home from work. Then it’s dinner, wash dishes and TV.
The most repeated part of my day of late has been the job search and the 0 leads. It’s the same thing every day as I go through each website and it’s very disheartening.
Then of course we’ve had the continuous loop of snowfall here in Pennsylvania. We’re all familiar with the calendar date (I certainly wouldn’t call it a holiday) of Groundhog Day where Punxsutawney Phil determines the fate of our weather as we move towards Spring. I find it no coincidence that Phil is a Pennsylvanian and am convinced his prediction speaks directly to us in the Keystone State. And as you may know, this year he saw his shadow meaning six more weeks of Hell, I mean winter, to endure. I pray this doesn’t extend to my futile job search of late.
He’s adorable but he’s getting on my nerves.
