Job Searching

As many of you know, i lost my job a couple weeks ago and am now enjoying the job hunt. Which in my opinion isn't at all enjoyable and gets quite annoying. Granted i can say this is the first time i've ever gone through this process of searching. My last two jobs fell into my lap literally and weren't hard at all to obtain, so i guess this is the time in my life where i have to endure looking and hopefully a lot of interviews. I think it would be less painful if every job didn't ask you the same exact questions, just worded differently, in the pre-job screening/assessment. But i guess it's their only way to figure out if you're suitable for the job. Oh well so goes life, something tells me i'll make it through this period of time and be able to look back on it with some fondness. I'm thankful i'm living with my parents right now. I'm also thankful that my bills only cost me about $140 a month which i'll be able to pay with one week worth of unemployment, and i plan to save as much of the rest as possible. Until i find a new job and then i'll at least a steady income and be able to save more hopefully. There are two things that makes this bear-able: knowing i have my family there that loves me no matter what and also having Tim around, he's constantly bugging me and checking with me to see if i've applied to any jobs each day, plus he gives me ideas of where to apply. Then he apoligizes for bugging me, and discloses that he'd feel better about me spending money after i got a job knowing that i have that money there to spend, which i understand completely. I'm ready to find a new job and see how i can grow from it and what new experiences that i'll discover.
