Got my SIA badge Thursday. I had checked on the SIA website earlier in the week and was happy when I saw that they had finally cleared me for it. Since I got it I have updated my CV. I've also started sending out the newest version of this to employers via email. Hopefully now I have the card it will lead to me earning a living again. Unemployment is driving me mad. I mean days merge into one. My energy levels seem to be dwindling. It takes more effort just to do anything. Take this week, I had the chains I'm doing for Calum. All that has to be done as I said last week is the catches. Somehow the week has past me by and I still haven't even started those catches. How long would it take me? Maybe a couple of hours a day for possibly three days at most. That would be me taking it easy. So not much time yet I have done nothing on the chains. Not even looked at them. I have continued the important part of looking for work. Though that has been me forcing myself to keep up on that. I did manage to do the garden this week which is a something. Yeah keeping your spirits up after months of joblessness is not a simple thing. I really will need to push myself now.
