No strange dreams.

gementI felt insanely accomplished on Wednesday. It's a bit hard to keep up the push. Wednesday I saw my shrink, worked four hours, played DDR for an hour until I wanted to die, and went ballroom dancing in the evening.
Now I'm gently prodding at my need to obtain business cards and not really feeling like moving. Except possibly to play more DDR. Last time I went out DDRing I could only manage level 2 (out of 10) difficulty, and now I can do level 4. My ballroom dancing has shown similar improvement. I seem to be becoming a coordinated person.
I've been dragging my feet horribly on all things related to job search. I know it, everyone else knows it. It's been driving me nuts, and I'm getting oversensitive about it. But then my counselor pointed out to me that much of my emotional energy right now is focused on researching and choosing a career, which is a valid pursuit and very different from finding a job.
So that's why I'm not doing the shower of resumes very aggressive blitz of job hunting, and why it would really be too much for me to try to put that level of energy into it just yet. Having settled that, I'm pretty well out of excuses and black and white cases, and feel much less panicked about trying to do a little every day toward getting a job.
Ah well. I'll make some business card calls and then hit the library again. Mmm, the wonderful world of work.

Date: 2004-02-21 08:19 am (UTC)I looked at them and at a couple of other free or very cheap online sites. In my current situation, I looked at them and ran into a couple of deal breakers:
1) I recognized a lot of the designs from cards people had handed me, and I remember that something about them made me think "mmm, you got free cards, didn't you?" ... which is not what I'm going for at this conference.
2) Most of the designs are INSANELY colorful, which can be cool, but really wasn't what I was looking for.
Most importantly, though:
3) I need them Monday, which pretty much guaranteed that I needed to go to a local shop and beg for a rush job.
Having now bought a run of 100 cards, they cost less than $20 and can be obtained in one business day if you ask real nice. I had a very nice card-designing experience. I'll have to scan one in once I get them.
