It is a new year. I have had a different sort of year. 2009 had some big changes for me. I moved to a different state and started working in a different career field. When I first moved finding a job was hard, the economy was so bad that it seemed like I wouldn’t find anything and at times it felt hopeless. I heard from various businesses I was either too qualified for what I was applying for and they felt I would leave once something better came along with better pay and benefits to I wasn’t qualified enough and they weren’t sure I was the right fit. Then I found work through a temp agency. Even though the pay was low I was able to work enough hours to scrape by and scrape should be a key word. I was thankful that I was able to have some money though and it kept my resume looking shiny being there wasn’t a nasty break in work history. I went from June to December before I found full time employment with benefits. It was a long time of waiting but I consider myself lucky due to the economic climate. It wasn’t easy through 2009 and won’t be easy for the start of this year, however 2010 shows promise and a positive outlook isn’t so hard to imagine.

In other news, I had a good Christmas. I spent it with my girlfriend at her family’s house. It was for the most part relaxing, worrying about being stuck by a blizzard had its moments. New years was also relaxing and I am happy I can have another day of resting to look forward to. I have been taking some pictures of my cat doing the usual. http://www.jpgmag.com/photos/2193303 I added a picture to JPG of Wally. He is a source of joy and entertainment. He is a good cat when he isn’t knocking stuff over. Well, I should probably go to bed because it is late. More updates to come.
