Not Sure What to Do

Thursday, May 14, 2009

ugh, I don’t know what to do about blogging. I guess not so much my blog itself, it can just sit here and wait for me. But I guess Entrecard is my issue. I love EC, but I know I’m probably nearing them removing me if I keep up with no new blog posts. The biggest problem with it being that I have a very large amount of EC’s accumulated and I don’t want to just lose them. They don’t allow you to sell them anymore, and even though they have their new thing where they will buy back EC’s I would be far down on the list because I haven’t  been actively blogging or dropping cards, now where was this option back when I was?  I guess I could *try* to post on my blog just enough to not be deleted by EC and then my credits should remain, I think it’s blogs that haven’t been posted on for over 3 months that are on the risk of being deleted list. I just have not had it in me to blog lately, not sure why exactly, but admittedly I do feel a little bummed that it seems no one really reads by blog unless I’m dropping cards, and even then I think very few are actually reading.

For those one or two that might be reading lol….nothing really has changed here. It has been 5 1/2 months now since Alex got laid off, resumes sent out in that time is now well above the 600 mark. Interviews seem to come in spurts, he might have 2 or 3 one week, then nothing for the next week or two. The thing that gets us is, everyone likes him, so why can’t he get a job? We thought we had it “figured out” that part of the problem is that he seems to be either over qualified for a job or underqualified, he seems to be fitting right in the middle somewhere…but at the same time, he has applied for dozens of jobs that according to what the ad says he is perfectly qualified for the position, yet he doesn’t even get an interview…in fact he has received “thanks but no thanks, you don’t fit our qualifications” letters from positions that he PERFECTLY fit the qualifications they stated, for jobs almost identical to what he was doing before. I just don’t get it.

I have signed up to sell Regal in hopes of maybe being able to bring in something extra because we are almost out of money and I don’t want to have to ask anyone for help. If you’re in the US you probably don’t know what Regal is, but if you’re in Canada you should(they’ve been around for 80 years), if you don’t know what they are you can check it out, www.regal.ca

Well, that’s about all I have to say for now…..

Thanks, I appreciate the offer! But it is against Entrecards rules to buy/sell credits now.
