Man in the Mirror


Wow! Michael Jackson is dead!  As Myke says, he was the Elvis of our generation.  Crazy! I'm not going to put him up on a pedestal or anything as he had his flaws, but he was a very talented artist.  

I heard a rumor that Michael left over 200 Beatles' songs to Paul McCartney in his will.  We'll see how if that is true in a couple of days/week.

I hope his kids are ok...

You want a story? Here's a story!

I have never been one to sit down and let life happen.  I like to be proactive and plan.  Of course, when things don't go to plan, I'm left feeling lost.  I usually grow from these experiences however when they hit they hit me hard.  I start re-evaluating life and second guessing everything.  Right now I'm second guessing my move.  I'm glad I moved to TO as I love it here, but I hate that I left a well paying job for no job.  I am completely lost without work!  I've never been good at school or hobbies, but I've always been kick-ass in my line of work.  I enjoy being challenged in the work place and learning new programs, policies, etc...  I am career focused and a 6 month lull isn't helping!  I don't want to sound too negative as I am lucky in some respects (i.e. family, some good friends, etc...).  I just wish I had something to look forward to and be happy about!  Without a job I can't save for my Europe trip, go get my hair done, go out to dinners with friends/family and do other random and fun things.  

In other news...I hate this recession!

Measuring Up!

There is always someone who is stronger, smarter and better looking than you.  I just wish my career was more impressive than the next guy.  I was going strong and then I fell, I guess.  I've been trying to get back up, but it's hard when you are leaning on others to help you.  Why does everyone feel it's their job to give me job advice?  I know almost every website, association/organization, etc... in the HR industry.  I'm TRYING my hardest!!  

Can I get a break?
