Day one-hundred-forty-nine

Today's one of those days where I considering not updating on a daily basis. There's not much to say today. It's quiet, busy but not hectic, and I took care of some things that needed doing for quite a while. Other than that, it's been an unexceptional day.

Having experienced periods of both steady employment and prolonged unemployment, I can say that they have one thing in common: after a while, the days all start blending into one another. The same things tend to happen day after day after day, whether it's working eight hours a day or spending eight hours looking for a job online.

I've been unemployed twice. The first time was from January 2008, when I was laid off from my first job, to November 2009, when I began my pharmacy externship. I was unemployed again from February 2010, when I finished pharmacy technician training, to October 2012, when I was rehired by the first company I had worked for from 2004 to 2008.

I struggled in my job search. In all the dozens of job applications I'd submitted and all the job postings to which I responded I got interviewed twice, both of which I'd written about before. God led me to the job He meant for me, and I'm thankful for it, even if I don't always like it.

That last paragraph also reminds of another reason why I'm considering cutting back the updates: I've already begun repeating myself.
