Time is flying by
Let me just say that it is a very weird to have both me and BF unemployed. I was getting used to my alone time during the days, and I didn’t have to worry about someone else making noise or doing other things while I was searching/applying for jobs, or calling back potential employers. In fact, I had to respond to a voice message this morning, and I made BF leave the house to get coffee before I called. There’s just something about doing phone interviews with other people around. Not that I mind having him around. It’s great because I’m less lonely – I guess I’m just a bit more productive than him when it comes to not having a job.
Anyway, I’m hoping to get a job ASAP. This month-long vacation is driving me insane (I cannot believe it’s already been a month since I lost my job – time is flying by!). BF is the opposite – he is LOVING not having a job. He doesn’t find it stressful at all, not having an income coming in. Which to me, is very strange. But I guess he finds it strange that I am stressed out about money, even though I’m collecting EI. :)
I mentioned yesterday that today is my 2nd interview with an organization, and then tomorrow I have set up a phone interview with another company. The kinds of companies I’ve been interviewing with have been so different in terms of the industry that they’re in. I don’t have experience in any of those fields, so it’s really exciting to think that I could be learning something completely new while doing something familiar to me (marketing). So far I’ve sent out 18 resumes and have gotten 5 interviews.

Did I miss something? When did J lose his job?
I work in Marketing as well, and have worked in many different industries! Its nice to have the flexibility, but yet use my strengths!
He didn't lose his job, he quit so that he could go back to school (going part-time wasn't an option at his job)… :)
So how man income and expenses you two expecting this month? How long your BF going to be not working or bringing in income? Seems hard since you just got a car but at least you living together to save on rent.

Our money is separate, so I have EI that will bring in money for me, and BF plans on either getting a part-time job or doing odd jobs to bring in the income while he is in school.
My EI will allow me to live comfortably as well as pay my car payments, so I'm really not too worried about our situation.
I hope you get a job soon!
BF quit his job! I thought you guys didn't go traveling because of his job!
Well we didn't go traveling because he received a job-related opportunity – which he is still doing and enjoying very much. I can't really go into it because BF doesn't like me talking about his stuff on this blog. But everything is coming together for him career-wise, and by this time next year he should be fully qualified/certified and ready to start his career.
Ugh, I hate talking on the phone, even more so when other people are around. I totally sympathise!

Your post made me laugh. I love spending time with my boyfriend, but there are times when it's just nice to have the house to myself… especially when I have to get work done! He doesn't understand why I sometimes to go the coffeeshop or bookstore to get things done. The guys are just too darn cute! ;-)
