Last night candy was bought, and tonight trick-or-treaters were not necessarily anticipated or expected, but they were definitely welcome. However it seems my premonition was correct. People either no longer go door to door on Halloween night or they just avoid gated communities. So the chocolate miniature candies sit in a dish by the door and quietly but persistently call my name.
Halloween is just a week away. We have no plans as of yet. I figure we’ll turn off all our lights and pretend to not be home in case any wayward trick-or-treaters come knocking on our door. I’m not sure what it will be like here. At our previous apartment complexes we never had any little ones stopping by, but this is a new place, and I have noticed a lot of young families live here. Then again, this is the metroplex and I think families here may not allow their children to go door to door despite the fact that it is a nice, clean, upper middle-class area. Maybe they do the mall thing.
So the job search goes on and on and on. That’s right. I’ve been unemployed for almost a month now and am currently looking for a job. Daily. Let’s just say it’s a little on the depressing side. You see, I’d like to work, have a job and an income, but the problem is I have no earthly idea about what I want to do. I really enjoyed the work I’ve done in the past it but I really don’t think another switchboard/clerical position is what I’d like to do with myself now. Don’t misunderstand me. It was a good job, interesting, usually fun, and I worked with great people. I would just like to branch out. Discover something else I may be talented at, something that does not necessarily require me to use my excellent phone voice.
Unlike my brother, I don’t mind a little blandness. Of course, if you would like for your eyeballs to rupture from a whole lot of color and graphics please feel free to go elsewhere. Anyway, I’m not sure my site is anything more than mindless fluff.
