11 Days In: Hoping & Hopping Into the Job Market

Eleven days ago was a Wednesday, the morning I woke up with the harsh reality of my needing to help our home team out financially.  Since that day I have updated my resume, answered 3 Craigslist adds, had 3 interviews (one from the CsList), signed on with two temp agencies, hustled my ass off, moved it, shook it, & wrangled in two more job possibilities(both word of mouth, by asking everyone I know) complete with interviews, resulting in one job offer which is still in negotiations, one on the fence & one I may have over-dressed for.  Is that possible?

PS: I have forgotten one other sent resume to a jeweler in Ellicott City I by chance met who is looking for a special someone to do trunk shows.  If his trunk show happens, off to Mississippi I go!  That's it for the updates. 

Also worth noting: I have a knot/s in my tummy, have eaten very little, have been to the health food store twice: once for a sleep enhancer, the second for a vitamin to energize me, have an appointment with my regular doc to discuss anxiety meds!  Spooky Halloween Job Hunting out there, boo!  Day of the Dead too!  My ancestors may need to come into play to assist in this time of exploration of the job market 2010.  Might be better to find a job now prior to the elections on Tuesday, God know whats next...
