Daily September 4, 2023 (Labor Day)

[Music] all right all right all right all right all right all right welcome is this microphone on am I using the microphone or can't really tell I'm using the mic or if the phone is the one that's picking me up I think it might be the phone let's see let's see let's see yeah it's the phone that's picking me up it's not the mic what up mic what up microphone what up what's going on uh I'm gonna have to figure this out more testing testing all right we're testing testing all right we got the mic up I don't know what was up with that um all right so today's Labor Day or I don't know what day was actually Labor day but it's the Monday that people get off for Monday for the Labor Day holiday um it's the observed day I guess September 4th 2023 all right I I have energy uh I I got a new probiotic um supplement last night as well as melatonin I ordered both of them they came last night I took them well not last night it was like in the evening like around 5:30 they arrived and so I took the probiotic probably around 5:30 or 6 I took the Melatonin one of the gummies around 8:30 one of the gummies around maybe 9 9:30 and then I took another one I don't remember what time it was but it was probably after 10: sometime after 10 um I know it was a lot but I was like I'm going to go to bed I'm sleeping tonight like I don't care um I space him out like that though just in case I do get drowsy and start falling asleep then at least I'm not going to take more but it's not like that every time like I know like I've had times where I've taken melatonin three milligrams and been fine 15 is way too much 10 is is usually okay usually three to five is okay for me honestly but it's probably because I'd had that C4 in the afternoon and you know my anxiety levels were pretty high because I hadn't really been sleeping too good because as humans you know we need sleep and sometimes that's just not how my body and brain decide to operate they're like you need to be awake and you know thinking and busy and I'm like no but I actually need rest you know because that's important so I can actually like function so today is going to be a pretty functional day I'm winging it if I'm going to do deliveries I'm G to call one of these apartments or two of them around well one of them's closed I don't know I might call the two local ones I have four that I need to be in contact with but I think I'll call at least the two around 10:30 or 11 call them up see if I can schedule an appointment uh possibly schedule it to come by tomorrow I don't really want do a whole lot today um other than job application so what I'm going to try to do is you know the days that I'm doing job applications try not to do too much other stuff um because otherwise it's going to take away a lot of energy so I'm podcasting because it's morning it's like 7:46 a.m. which is late for me I woke up around 6 something 6:30 6:15 somewhere around there I was happy with that um I was kind of waking up off and on though I woke up around 2 am I woke up you know I think melatonin makes me need to go to the restroom um and so I kind of was having that issue a bit but um yeah I took like a heroic dose of Melatonin and so I got my sleep on got some coffee in me this morning and I'm I'm feeling pretty energetic I'm a little slight amount of groggy but probably just because I took that much melatonin but otherwise I'm pretty okay um I'm going to be able to kind of do what I need to do um so yeah I've got some pod episodes I want to record about some interesting things uh than otherwise is I'm just kind of resting you know doing applications relaxing last night um like kind of before I was going to bed I was going through a lot of the internships on indeed uh they've got fall internships coming up some of them are still kind of Summer but I'm gonna try to get into one of those internships and then get the ball rolling from from there um with these internships it's kind of hard I a lot of them I can't find on LinkedIn so I can't follow up with the main like recruiter contacts or anything like that some of these companies are like I don't even know what they are like they're hard to really find they don't have much of a presence on LinkedIn but a lot of them have like legit websites and stuff uh so I don't know and as long as it's not commissions only I'm kind of okay with with taking a low pay rate as long as it's hourly and a lot of them are like part-time too so it's like 20 hours a week or so and so you know if they're part-time that's almost better because then I can still do my other little gig work and stuff and make more money on the side um and not be like way overwhelmed with like a job that's like a 40 hour work week so I could still kind of like do my whole like get out of town kind of thing um but we'll see how it goes I mean I'm just kind of I'm Mass supplying but I've kind of got a process where I'm like saving them one at one I don't know if I want to say one day because like some days I'll have a period of the day where i'm like saving them and then another period of the day where I'm going back in so it's like I have phases like the first phase is like researching them finding them uh saving them and then I go through and you know put them in the spreadsheet as I'm applying and see if I can find the contact info if I can't I just list that I can't find all that see if I can find the main applications online and stuff and a lot of times they don't have the applications on their website either and if they don't have LinkedIn I'm like all right but sometimes it's like oh only 15 people have applied so it's like okay that's not bad it's not a bad number um that's not a bad amount of competition there and so I kind of like that and so yeah I've you know I've got that process going and then for the ones that I do have the contact info for I'll go through on LinkedIn I have this I just signed up this weekend for this um I don't know what it's even called it's on LinkedIn and it's basically so that you can contact people in management because sometimes if they're not following you back and you like if you're just newly trying to follow them as you're applying and they haven't yet followed you back or if they never follow you back and then I'm supposed to be reaching out to them as part of this process you know I can't reach out to them unless we're connected and so that kind of bypasses it and you're allowed to still send them a message and so I'm like let me keep this for a month I think it's like 60 or 80 it's pretty expensive for the month but I'm like okay if I get 30 days free half till the beginning of October so I'm GNA try my best to maybe do more LinkedIn applications just just because I have access to that but it seems like the indeed it seems like the internships are on indeed and then the other applications are on LinkedIn so I don't know people say do all of them I don't know if I'm going to do all of them like LinkedIn indeed and on their main website that sounds excessive um but that's basically what I'm doing today I don't really want to but I was kind of uh into it yesterday like I was really um you know pushing yesterday so I've got a bit of momentum behind it I'm seeing how many I can get done and then overall you know um I don't know I need to get the basic health things down I think we're barbecuing today so I don't really know I'm probably not going to eat a very healthy dinner but I can I can eat I'll probably just have eggs and a an avocado for for breakfast and then I don't know what else I'm going to have for lunch um still have my leftover undercooked ravioli um I could probably have those but yeah well I've got some other podcasting to do that's about all I've got to share for now the majority of the stuff I said I was going to do yesterday such as the gym and like deliveries and stuff like that that did not happen [Music] um uh I did do a lot of job applications or a few job applications like sometimes when I've stepped away from it it takes a while to kind of get back into like a rhythm because like I said there's all these phases um I might um get onto some of the coaching connect with some of the coaching that's available the free coaching groups um that are available I just might do that and um yeah I I've really got to get this like a job started and then get the 90day probationary period out of the way that's really what I need to do I um I don't quite want um like I don't really want to take too long interning I don't want like a year-long internship unless it's really a job that I really want that bad you know but I don't want a year-long internship it would be nice to have like an intern to full-time higher opportunity I don't know it's just a lot to think about um I'd rather work on it than talk about it so I'm probably not going to spend too much time talking about it at the moment but yeah uh set up some goals for like the financial stuff I need to be doing for this week uh other than gas and some food I I probably won't have that many expenses I'm not sure yet what the expenses will look like but yeah let keep it short uh that's about it for now and thanks for listening [Music]
