That's what's been running through my mind when I saw my pals having the time of their lives over at Facebook. Then, when it was my birthday, I didn't get a greeting from my close associates. I figured, since I'm jobless now, I'm not gonna be "IN" in their circle. Must be, eh?
I felt so enraged I can't wait to get out of the hole I got myself into and give them the finger when I'm back into the groove again.
Then, this week, gathered all my strength (yeah, that's what it took.. lol!) to haul my ass back into the pool and went swimming. It was tough having been gone for more than a week but I soldered on. I have to remember my goal: to get out of the rat hole, pronto!
One lap.. two laps.. next thing I knew, it was a lot! Yeah, that's exactly what I need. To get the endorphins flowing out of my body streams again. Ya know, that happy drug you get from an intense workout.
One day at a time, I go speak to myself. Three days in a row and made my trip to the pool. Got my condition up again. Made some bold career moves. Composed a resume and an application letter. Signed up to Upwork and hoped to get approved to some freelance work. Then earlier, me and wifey went to that call center I told you about. I know it's the easy way but it's the same money and work with the rest of them call centers and I didn't have to go through the tedious interviews, exams and training. I know I can do it because I tested myself with the local call centers like those in the credit card and telecommunication BPO's, and well, I can go tow-to-tow with 'em all. hah!
So, Monday I'll start training at get this, 12AM! Wait, that's the first hour of Tuesday, actually. Well, I really wanted to try what's in there for me since many years ago when my pal, Dexter, used to work on the same industry. he's always talking about his experience and it really perks me up every single time. Told him if only I could do it part time, that is, if I had the time. He went on to become a recruiter and actually rose from the ranks. It's one of the ways I intend to extrovert myself. There's a lot of folks there when we came to visit. Looks like a happy place to really brush up and better my English. I'm excited!
Then, this afternoon, went to check my email if my application to get a freelance job at Upwork was somehow approved. And, IT DID! Awesome day, eh? So now I'm wondering what to do first. I just realize there's a lot of home-based work at Upwork but I also like to go out and socialize with the other species. We'll see how things would turn out in the future. I just need to do something other than promoting my wife's business because it's making me dumb when I don't get my brain stimulated.
One thing I learned from all of these good things happening right now is to not be a hater. DON'T BE A HATER, man. It's the vibes.. they come back and haunt ya.. After a day or two of watching my pals having a good time, I remember what I've heard from the guru's I've been listening to. Appreciate the joys and accomplishments of other people. You attract what you put out. Law of attraction, repulsion and vibration, baby. So I started liking their pictures and all. Also, those grim news about the political bickering of our leaders, I try to avoid them especially the killings and all that bad news.
I feel dismayed watching the feeds on my FB. Thus, I barely open it. My wife's is so much better. She's on a roll and her friends will maxed out to 5k before the year ends. It's quite a harvest and she can use that network to her advantage in her business. That's the idea, really.
Anyway, now's a good time to celebrate.
Loves and kisses.....
