Job Search Update

Job search update

Market Basket

• Milford-  All positions filled
• Nashua  near  TJ  Maxx and Panera   All positions filled
• Nashua Somerset Plaza   Applied for a day position for  cashiering. Will hear back to set up an interview with in the next week.

After School Programs

• Adult Learning Center  Position filled but a new position could open up at any moment
  
• 21st Century-  Still wating to hear back.     Weather or not I get the job depends on enrollment.  Same thing applies for New Morning School. They are supposed to call me back on  Tuesday.

TJ Maxx called me in for a second interview on Friday so that looks promising.

I applied at Wallgreens and am going to apply for a data entry job at a staffing center in Wilton tomorrow.

In other news school started last night and  I think I am in for a really challenging semester. This class involves a lot of reading and analysis.   The analysis will be the difficult thing.  I have made the ultimate decision that it is a bad idea to get involved in clubs and activities on campus.  I will not have time between academics and working if I ever get a job.   The only club  I will have time for will be Speech and Language Path Club  since that club applies to my major and  will  mostly be used as  a study group   but we are also getting guest speakers to come in too.  Film Club was debatable for awhile and  I am still not sure about that. 

Later

Back to realtity

This weekend I went to New Jersey for a family function. On the way we went on college tour of Vassar College in Pouhkeepsie New York. My sister is trying to get a feel for where she wants to go next year and Vassar is one of the 10 colleges on her list. We were all kind of exhausted from traveling and it was raining so it wasn't as enjoyable as I would have liked to be. We ended up taking a tour again by ourselves Saturday afternoon after we went to the FDR Meusuem. The mesuem was neat. I didn't really know too much about FDR, his presidency or his family life. I am not typically a huge fan of museums no matter what the subject matter of it is but this was very interesting. After the musuem and our second tour of Vassar we headed to my uncle's house in New Jersey where we had lobster for dinner. Then me and my sister went over to my cousin Jessica's house to sleep over. Yesterday was her daugther's christening which was a very nice ceremony. My sister is the godmother to the baby. There will be pictures up soon both on her and on facebook. After that we had a huge catered lunch at my uncle's house which I was very full by the end of. I got a suprise when my aunt's sister invited me to go see a play at Drew University with her her husband and her granddaughter. The play was called Noises Off. It was quite funny... I haven't laughed so hard in awhile. Today we left my uncle's at 10am and took two mini college tours of Fairfield University and Conneticut College. My sister had mixed feelings about Fairfield but really likes Conneticut and that is proably going to move up to the top of her list right next to Northwestern and BU. I thought both campusses were very pretty.

Now it's back to reality.. and the bleakness of the job search. I still haven't heard back from TJ Maxx yet so I am curious to know if they made their decision. Let's hope that works out.. I really need a job. School is also starting and I am excited about that this semester has laid ahead for me.

Time for bed. This weekend has been long. I am exhausted.

Lots to update on... not much time to do it

I should have been in bed two hours ago bc i have to go to NJ in the morning and have to be up @ 6:30. (make that less than 5 hours)

TJ Maxx is supposed to call me back on Monday about the position in the fitting room.

GRRR this is getting so frusturating!!

So let's see... Anything Goes was a decent play. I enjoyed myself. Please go to my theatre blog for the full review. It was nice to go to the Barn Playhouse again but I am happy to report that after several months of depression about stuff related to the Barn and stuff related to my season there I am fully ready to move on. I am done with driving myself crazy and being obsessed. It is not worth it all. No one from my intern company has forgotten about me or any of the fun times we had that summer, no matter how much I tend to think that Will Porter still has and despite the distance everyone is still friends with me. I should have just let all this stuff go a long time ago. It would have made things so much easier for my mental sanity and I would have not driven all my friends so crazy. Thank you everyone so much for putting up with me! You won't have to deal anymore with spazzy emails from me. You all know who you are.. or at least I am hoping you do. I love all of you so much.

Wednesday was my birthday. I am 24 and feel like I am a new person, Typically a birthday is just a birthday but for me this marks the beginning of a whole new me. As I just mentioned above I spent most of the past year and a half being anxious depressed and nervous about stuff related to the Barn Playhouse.. it is time to put the past in the past totally and completley and focus on the present and future. Focus on my friends and amazing boyfriend.. that's what truly matters and all that should. The memories of the Barn Playhouse will always mean a lot to me but it's not fair for me to focus on the negative emotions I have felt about stuff related to the Barn and how much things have changed there since I left there two summers ago. I can't control any of that... I should have realized that a long time ago.. that would have really eliminated a lot of my anxiety.

Anyway as I highlighted at the top of the entry the job search is still very slow going, stressful and frusturating. I am annoyed that I still have not found a job yet. I have been looking for about 8 and half months now maybe a little bit more. I am really hoping something will surface soon. If nothing does the least I can hope for is more hours for subsitute teaching at Milford and Nashua. School starts on Tuesday and I am so ready for classes to start. The summer has seemed to drag on forever since my summer course ended on June 30th.... mainly because my homework gave me less stress off of job searching.

Time for bed... seriously! Although I suppose whatever sleep I do not get tonight I will get on the way down to NJ in the car.

Love Janine

Exhausted!

This weekend I went to Matt's house in Kennebunk for a family reunion. It was awesome to meet all his family. They all seem very nice. We had a delicious dinner of gumbo and sausages. I had never had gumbo before..it was quite good and i am not typically a fan of spicy foods at all. Yesterday we went to Glouschter for his bowling tournment. I thought I would be immensly bored but I actually enjoyed myself and learned a little bit about bowling and how a professiomal bowling compettion is run. Today we met my parents @ Wells Beach which was nice and relaxing.. but yet when all the events of this weekend are all added together I am quite exhausted... a good night's sleep is well deserved, Last weekend I went up to Meredith with Matt and Sonya to go see Oaklahoma. It was an amazing show. I truly enjoy going to see shows at Summer Theatre in Meredith Village and am so excited about their season next summer. One of the shows they are doing next summer is Chicago which is one of my absolutle favorites. It was so awesome to see Maggie John Baker and Marco again.. it was a really big surprise to see Marco because I didn't even know he was in the show. Good times!

Saturday I am going to the Barn Playhouse to go see Anything Goes. Earlier this summer I was a little bit leary to even go to the Barn Playhouse at all because I had gone through a really deep depression about stuff related to that theatre and how the management there had changed since I left there two summers ago but I've learned to live with that.. I really don't have a choice because there is nothing I can do to change anything what's done is done. I am done feeling guilty about over reacting and fearing that people have forgotten about me. No one has forgotten about me that was dumb to worry about in the first place.


Time for bed.

Lots to update on

Well July is half over and it's been a couple week since my last update. Job search is still going very slow. Today I applied for 2 jobs and reapplied for 2. Reapply- Market Basket, Fridays and tech college Wellness Center Clerk New Submittals: Lillac Blossom   J and J Party Supply and the tech colllege book store.   HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!  The Nashua School system  is going through a huge budget  deficit and because of this all recently created jobs had to be cut that means this position is  no longer available.  Yet another roadblock.  The search presses on. 

I miss my sister immensly! She is away for 5 weeks at an intensive journalism program in Chicago Illinois at Northwestern University. I am very excited for her to come home next Friday and hear of her adventures.

2 family reunions in one month. CLASSY!! The first one was our annual 4th of July get together which is always fun. It's so great to see my extended family. This weekend was my grandma's 80th birthday so my mom''s immediate family and some of my grandma's close friends gathered together at our beach house in Hull Mass for a party. Great fun! Great food! Horray! In between these weekends of festive events with my family I went to Meredith to go see Grease at Summer Theatre in Meredith Village with Matt and Sonya. For a few review of the show please direct yourselves to my Theatre is My Life blog. The show was amazing and I can't wait for Oaklahoma next weekend AND TO SEE MAGGIE LOUIE AND JOHN BAKER AGAIN!! :) IT was so awesome to see Matt Densky again on the 10th. It was great to catch up with him after not seeing him since I left NLBP. The following day Matt Heather and I spent the day at Wells Beach DELIGHTFUL!!! I hope I get to go to the beach at least one more time before the summer is over.

Not much else to say really. Time to migrate over to my other blog for my weekly commentary on So You Think You Can Dance

Screw June JULY is bustin out all over!

My class at the tech college is practically over. On Thursday class is optional because we getting our tests back and watching a movie. I think I am really going to like Speech Pathology. I am nervous about my final though because I did horrible on the quiz two weeks ago and need it to retake it. If I don't do well in this class I can't continue in the major.. WICKED anxious!
June had very few things worth talking about in this blog going on. Matt and I celebrated our on year anniversary a few weeks ago. We went out to dinner and went on a Portsmouth Harbor Cruise (two sepearate days) The weather lately has been HORRIBLE!! Nothing but rain for the past three weeks so sick of it.

Notable Celeberity Deaths in the Past Week *Ed Mcmahon * Farrah Fawcett * Michael Jackson * Billy Mays
Personally I think Michael Jackson's death is highly overshadowing the death of the other three people. All of these people had meaningful careers in their own right so I think it's only fair that they get equal news coverage. As far as MJ goes I liked his music but I wouldn' t say I was a diehard fan. His music was the only thing about him that was really of any interest to me. As a person I thought he was really strange. Something didn't quite shake me right about the sexual assault allegations that were brought against him in 2005.

July looks to be a lot bettter month.. weather wise and also in terms of stuff to do. This weekend is my annual 4th of July family reunion in Boston. Always a blast when my whole exteneded family gets together. Next Friday I am going up to Meredith to Grease at Interlakes Theatre. I am so looking foward to the show...and to see my coworker from the Barn Playhouse Matt Densky again HORRAY!! The 11th my friends and I are going to the beach then it is my grandma's 80th birthday. Fun fun!

The job search is getting really monotonous. I am about ready to take the rest of the summer off from looking for a job and start up again at the end of August because there is pretty much nothing avaiable right now. Hopefully in September I will get more hours for subbing..being on the sub list for 3 differnt school districts should be a HUGE assett.

Time for bed, Gotta be rested for work at the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow.

Wow! It's been a couple weeks

Legit, I haven't written an entry of purposeful update in about 3 weeks.. so here's my update

May 23rd I went up to Maine with Matt and took Cooper to a Portland Seadogs game for his graduaion present. I wish the weather had been a little bit warmer because it was over cast and bit chilly. The Seadogs were creamed by the Conneticut Defenders 12-1 but it was still a good time anyway. After the game we went out to dinner @ the Sebago Brewing Company which was really delicious. If you're looking to go out to dinner at a resturant in Portland Maine definitley go there.

The reason for my extended absence in updating is because I am taking a summer class at Nashua Tech College and when I am not looking for jobs I am studying. I am very happy I chose to go back to school for Speech Pathology and wonder why I didn't study Special Ed at NEC in the first place. The class I am taking is called Phonetics and it basically a class that talks about how diffferent words are formed in the English Language. Very interesting stuff. I have my midsemester quiz on Tuesday and hope to do well on it.

The Tony Awards were on TV last weekend and overall I thought last years show was better. The host has a lot to do with my opinion. Whoopi Goldberg was last years host and she made everything about the show funny and worth while. Neil Patrick Harris was just... blah. I don't even watch How I Met Your Mother so i am not that familiar with him as an actor. HAIR won best revival for a musical and I am so excited. I was so honored to have seen an award winning musical! I feel Billy Elliot was too over dominant and that the awards should have been spread out better amognst the other musicals.

My one year anniversary with Matt is on Monday. We celebrated last night because our anniversary is during the work week. We went out to dinner @ Applebees. I have never been so happy in a relationship as I am in this relationship with Matt.

and finally down to the biggest gripe of the entry. ... job searching. Still plugging away and growing more and more consistantly frusturated with the lack of opportunities out there at the current moment. The amount of compettion that I face seems to be the biggest factor as to why i am not getting the jobs I am applying for... hopefully something will come through eventually.
