I’m leaning heavily towards applying for this firm. I just spent time editing my cover letter and resume. I’m nervous about applying because it sounds too good to be true but I really have this urge that this firm would be perfect/great for me.

Bitchasses denied my job application and have the nerve to still send a wanted ad out. I would be fine if I knew that employers were actually screening applicants but since we live in a world where AI is the protocol (and have been for years) I know that’s not the case. Yes I’m entry level… but it’s weird that employers no longer care for employees that form a “loyalty” or longevity with their companies. That would include taking candidates that have a learning curve and training them, which they have no interests in actually doing. Which is ESPECIALLY NECESSARY FOR CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FIRMS because ain’t no body going to school for that degree but our dumb asses! So who are you going to hire babe?!?! But it is what it is. I hope your current employees find comfort in each other and the confidence in themselves to leave your lazy asses for not hiring the help that they need due to being over worked and over whelmed. As for you, I hope your position stays unfilled for the remainder of the year minimum. And your over worked employees all leave you and your projects never get finished.

So the job hunt continues. And I’m at the point where I’m going to keep applying to different positions whether or not that company chooses to gov forward with me or not. For example, I just put in for an “On Call Archaeologist” position in one location and I got a reject email. BUT that same company has vacancies for multiple different locations… so I’m dead ass just going to keep applying. The goal is to get on their nerves enough to where they feel like they actually have to talk to me 😭. And I STILL got one more application to complete for them tomorrow loooool that’ll be I think #3 now? All within the same week.

Update biiiih!

I’m super close to completing my study abroad application (never even imagined filling this shit out tbh). But the one interesting thing I’ve come across so far is the fact that I need to submit a letter of recommendation. Unfortunately, my professor from this past Spring left the university I was attending and I haven’t been able to find that man anywhere. I did email the admissions department of said study abroad opportunities and was informed that in order for my application to be processed I will need that letter. BUT it doesn’t have to be purely academic (especially since I’m currently not enrolled..).

My only hang up is, I do not want to ask my supervisor because I’m not working in a field directly related to the damn field I’m applying for loool. So now I’m trying to think of who else I can ask so it appears relevant to my damn application….

I feel the most powerful when I don’t tell anyone about what I’m working towards.

Ooooh bish. I got some hopeful news todaaaaay! Basically I can refocused my attention on this certificate I’ve been eyeing for THEE LONGEST. Instead of emailing the head of the department I just went through general counseling and sure enough they reached the same conclusion that I clocked a long time ago— I only need TWO fucking classes to get this damn certificate.

They were excited for me and we came up with a game plan that started with the counselor initiating course of action. And she mentioned she would get it out to my by tonight. And I’m not going to lie even though I was really excited leaving the meeting I started to feel like I might have jumped the gun because I never got an email. BUT THEN sure enough at like 9:30 BOOM THERE IT IS!!! So now I’m going to follow up first thing tomorrow.

I’m excited and I pray this all goes well! And I’ve been reading to keep my plans to myself for a while now so I am. Loool I’m just posting it on here cause I need my thoughts out of my head.

After the way I’m starting this semester off such a mess, there isn’t a doubt in my mind that my professor thinks I’ve never taken an online course because GAWTDAMN I swear I’m trying to get a grip. LoooooooL I’m just straight up coming through like

I just sat down and put together my schedule for this week. The ultimate goal with this schedule is to build and cultivate discipline. And as a means to do so I’m going to keep to this schedule all week with a check in on Thursday (my hump day) to see if I need to make any adjustments or anything. Then as a trial I’ll stick to the schedule for 8 weeks (still maintaining my hump day check ins).
