I have taken this new blog out for a spin over the last week and have decided I am unhappy with the title. I originally named this blog “Being UNEMPLOYED is a Full Time Job” but I’ve decided the word “Unemployed” does not define me or this blog.
As much as we like to believe what we do does not define us, think back to the last time you met someone. You most likely asked them “What do you do for a living?”.
Since you and I have just met, I’m going to assume you’ve just asked me what I do for a living. Would my answer be “I’m currently unemployed”? No, it wouldn’t. Because that’s not what I do. What I would say is “I’m currently looking for a new job”.
I asked my husband to think about the title and last night we discussed it. It went like this:
Me: I think I’m going to change it to “Looking for a new job . . .”
Him: I think “Searching” is better than “Looking” ’cause that’s what you do. You search.
Me: Yeah, I’m like Christopher Flippin’ Columbus!
So I have changed the title of my blog.
I won’t change it again.
Until the search is over.
Then it will mostly like be changed to “What the Hell was I thinking?!?!?!”
