This was a lot harder then i thought.....

So this job searching stuff has been a lot harder then i expected!!  I have applied about 47 places.  I'm very persistent, maybe to persistent.   Buts its because of pressure.  I feel the pressure of getting my car fixed, and getting my meds paid for, because I'm pretty much screwed if i don't have a 2nd job before my samples run out.  Luckily i have about 3 more weeks worth.  
I just don't understand, i have been cranking out resumes and applications like crazy.  Its become like a full time job.  I hear its so hard to get a job in this economy because no one is hiring, if that's the case whats with all the want adds?  I have great work experience, its just so frustrating.  
I have a interview tomorrow that i was really excited about till Adam went over my odds, then i was like great :(  so I'm no longer excited just nervous and not expecting the best anymore.  I'm not very good at the whole competition thing, not really a competitor.  I just got to keep on applying like crazy to everywhere.  I have applied everywhere from Devon energy to walmart.  
I just got to remember it all will work out and i just got to breathe.  Remind myself I'm not drowning, i can do this.  I have to have pep talks with myself, or i will get really depressed thinking about everything.  This week was a short work week because of the weather and me getting rides, my m om really didn't want to get out and pick me up from work, but luckily my people were good about switching over till tomorrow. 
My ultimate goal is to be successful as a makeup artist/hair dresser, so it does feel really odd that I'm looking for a additional job.  I feel like I'm moving off the road :(  but i guess its just a detour.  You never know what life will throw at you....

Domino Effect

It seems when one thing goes wrong, other things follow.  I guess that would be Murphy's law.  I swear I'm usually a optimist, but i have ran into some bad luck or situations it seems.  They are really getting me down.  I hate that money does seem to make the world go round. 

  I feel like i have failed at making it at doing what i love.  I love doing hair! i feel like it gives me freedom to create, its very fulfilling for me.  But unfortunately me and Adam cant make it on full feeling alone.  So it has been a really hard decision for me but I'm going to get a 2nd job.  I will still be doing hair full time,  But I'm going to rearrange my hours to working at night. Night is when the majority of my clientele get their hair done.  I will also be working normal Saturdays.  This is not something i want to do but i have to.   I have great clientele so I'm sure they will understand, and hopefully it wont effect them to much.  It really stresses me out thinking about it because i feel like a really failed at making it.  
But once me and Adam get caught up and seem to have a little more freedom, plus it wont feel like its all on his shoulders.  Like i said before this was a really hard desion for me, I'm trying to take the route to effect as little people as possible..  I feel like I'm just rambling on, but i needed to relive some stress and writing does that for me.  So on that note, if you hear of any places hiring m-f $10 up office work, let me know.
