Job Searching Mode

So, Im taking a break from working on my resume even though I shouldn't be.  I can't seem to get in the job searching groove.  My normal approach to job searching (per what happened a year and a half ago when I was looking for a job in Minneapolis) is to have the tv on in the background with all the girly morning shows, soaps, talk shows, and news while I look at job sites galore sending my resume to anything I can find.  Sometimes taking a break to take a walk or cuddle with my baby (who I miss SO much!):


So far, the only tv show I can have going on that I understand is CNN Live which is good but it starts repeating itself after a few hours and while the Haiti situation is terrible and my heart goes out to them, I can only hear about it for so long.  And watching tv shows online doesn't work overseas.  So, I pull up my iTunes and play something.  However, this does not distract me from facebook... and since we are 6 hours ahead from most everyone we know, it is stupid for me to be sucked in to something that isn't even being updated!  So I should take a walk... it's just so cold and I have no idea where to go!  I could ride the tram around for awhile but that seems pointless and if I get lost, forget calling someone or even asking for directions since I dont know anything about this place.  And I can't go somewhere else with my computer because my internet is strictly given by a short cable at the end of our bed... Maybe I'll go read on the balcony with some blankets for a try.

The point: I need to get into job searching mode but Im having trouble finding my groove here.  I need a job, obviously.  So ideas are greatly appeciated.  :)

Other than that, life is pretty good and smooth.  Everything we needed to get done within the first week or 2 is done and we can now move our focus.  Grocery shopping is becoming a little more routine trying to decipher everything we pick up and I will try laundry Friday.  Maybe I'll take some pictures of the experience!  Oh, and we are going to look at an apartment tomorrow evening for a permanent place to live.  Pray that it works out and we get it because that would be a HUGE stress reliever!  :)

Haha I know exactly what you mean - sometimes the groove is hard to find. What I think would help is blaring music and dancing around in your underwear. Always works for me anyway. ;)
Did your old boss contact the people he knows over there?
I will pray that apt works out! That would be amazing!
