Well here it is Monday after the July 4th weekend. Tim and I went to visit the parental units in Watertown. The humidity there was awful, worse then here in PA. We did spend one day down at the cottage...of course it rained but fortunately it wasn't a long or particularly nasty rain like one can get on the shores of Lake Ontario.
Sunday we drove back from Watertown and of course all the fun stuff that goes with returning from a trip, even a short one. Laundry being the worst part of it. Tim was happy that his paycheck was sitting in the mailbox waiting for him.
As for me...well Mondays are usually spent with a couple of hours searching through the job boards. In addition to the safety jobs, I've started applying for HR generalist jobs. While most of these are entry level and would mean a serious drop in income, a job is a job and a job with benefits is even better even at a lower rate of pay. Although these companies that are looking for people with PHR or SPHR certifications and only paying $15 an hour are out of their ever loving minds. Especially since a criteria for getting one of those certifications is being at the management level. And it's not a cheap certification to get or maintain. Perhaps they need an HR professional to tell them that.
I can certainly see why Monday's are the Debbie Downers of the week though. You have a pleasant weekend filled with fun and frivolity and then its back to work...or for me, looking for a job. The good thing about Mondays is that most companies will post their new jobs on Fridays to allow for a good chunk of applications over the weekend. Today I applied for 7 different jobs...some safety related, some HR related. Let's hope some of that great job mojo rubs off soon!
