January 2008 Monthly Goals

These goals are getting repetitive, but writing them down for everyone to see is going to keep me accountable for them … and hopefully (fingers crossed), I get a job this month so I can switch it up and start making goals with numbers and figures attached to them. It’s really hard to try and make solid goals for myself without a steady stream of income.

January 2008 Monthly Goals:

• GAIN FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT. If this goal is realized by the end of the month, my secondary goal is to find PT employment. There are certain criteria to having a PT job though. If it’s not going to have anything to do with my career (if it’s just a cashiering job, or whatever), then the hours have to be flexible, and only during the evenings on weekdays. Also, the job has to be pretty darn easy. And fun. Yes, I’m being picky, but it’s not that I need a PT job, I just like to have one to keep busy and to make a little extra cash. And if I’m going to spend my spare time at another job, it might as well be doing something that I can have fun at. The greatest thing about my PT job right now is that it doesn’t even FEEL like a job. I would honestly do it for free, because it’s so much fun. In fact, I did do it for free for about 4 months before they hired me.

• Get the current website contract finished and signed off.

• Contact Employment Services and figure out what to do about my EI. And on that note, does anyone know how this even works? Do I get paid out from the time I submitted my paperwork up until today? Or only from whatever point they process my paperwork, going forward? It’s all very confusing to me.
