Observations of a jobless (late) 20-something woman.

• - I produce a lot of garbage. It’s amazing how much trash can accumulate when you are home every day. I never realized how much I throw away since I probably threw 3/4 of my garbage in the trash cans and recycling bins at work. I also don’t recycle at home since my condo complex does not collect recycling bins. I should probably start recycling and finding somewhere to bring my recycled items
• - Toilet paper runs out quickly. Random, and probably too much info to share, but it’s true. 
• - I am a creature of habit. I tend to wake up early, realize I don’t have to go anywhere, roll over and go back to sleep until about 8:30am every day. Then I watch the last 30 minutes of Good Morning America, flip back and forth between the Today Show and Rachel Ray, switch to Kathie Lee and Hoda (I know, I know), then Nate Berkus and finally Real Housewives of NJ. I am usually multitasking in the morning - searching for jobs, sending in applications, reading my Twitter feed, maybe doing a load of laundry and watching TV.
• - It is very easy to lose motivation to do the things I love to do even though I have lots of time to do them. I could easily go to yoga every day, at any time. I could also be painting or doing things around my house that I have been meaning to do for months and never had the time to do. But it’s easy to lose motivation when you have no obligations. I feel sort of lazy.
• - Searching for a job is…exhausting. It hasn’t been that long for me, but I am mentally exhausted. I never thought it would take so long (even though it has really only been three weeks, plus one day). Although, I do have huge sense of accomplishment and confidence in my job search. I have had three interviews, networked with so many people, have some good leads and made some great connections. I know something is going to happen soon.
