Rainy days and Monday’s

It always seems to be the Monday’s of the week that seem to affect me the most more than any other day of the week .

Maybe it’s because I’m between jobs at the moment and trying to keep myself motivated by blogging through medium while also making sure I try and keep my gained skills fresh

It doesn’t make sense that I’ve got so many gained skills and confidence that at the moment has come to a stand still.

Though my last work contract assignment finished in October last year, I guess I was kidding myself that I could bounce straight into my next one totally avoiding the feeling of stagnance.

Given the fact too as businesses wind down too it was the hiatus of time too.

And now that we are in a new year and new decade I’m reminded that by now most people would be back at work by now and I’m still not one of them.

I’ve given up voicing how I feel, I don’t need to speak to a professional, I don’t need to be medicated, but at the moment I need to write….so here I am.

I’ve applied for many jobs with some coming back with looking more like a computer generated templated rejection response than from an actual person. But I’ve also got a lot more in the basket I haven’t heard back yet

And while Australia desperately waits and hopes for rain I can honestly say that I think it’s just teasing at the moment with the occasional five minute rumble of thunder followed by a brief shower and the sun comes out…
