Yesterday's all day panic attack surrounding the jobless state I am in (whether it was real or imagined future obstacles that triggered it matters not) had variously positive and not so positive side-effects/results.
Not So Positive:
- I ate very little (too many butterflies)
- I didn't go for a walk (unless you count looking for a quiet phone booth - which I finally gave up as a lost cause)
- I stayed up too late (waiting for someone to pick some stuff up)
Positive:
- I made email and phone contact with just about everyone I know here in Ottawa
- Many people responded, some with a promise to keep their eyes peeled, some with more leads
- Some have put my resume into 'systems' within their companies of employ =^)
- Even a web place responded within hours, saying they'd call me if the offer that was out fell through
Today was the payback day for all the extra stressing, etc: my body and mind went AWOL on me. The weather seemed to be in harmony with my need for bedrest, bringing two really loud thunderstorms around during the morning and then later in the afternoon.
Once I'd started to recuperate and calm my mind today, my appetite returned so I'm not in danger of being blown away by the wind any time soon. I'm not going to stay up much longer, though: tonight, when tiredness descends I'll be going along with it.
