Job hunting

I contacted the temp agency I registered with in March to see if I could get some work.

As expected, it seems difficult to get a monthly salary of 200,000 yen for a 4-day work week. Plus, since it's not full-time, it looks like it will be around 120,000 yen.

However, I felt I was well-suited for the job content, and

since it's a government agency, it's cool + the environment seems better (than my previous job) + there seem to be many people who can just get things done calmly.

Above all, it was good that it included social insurance.

The place I was introduced to before also had an hourly wage in the 1,300 yen range, so I think that's just how it is. Or rather, since I'm in the countryside, I have the feeling that it's higher than the minimum wage.

About where to live

My parents' house is currently up for sale,

and since it looks like my sister won't be able to find a place to live either, it looks like we'll be sharing a house with rent around 45,000 yen. (By the way, if anyone betrays the other, the rent will skyrocket 🙃 lol)

I'm just grateful they're letting me stay.

Since the environment has changed, things aren't quite the same as before, but I'll try to rebuild things positively.

The things you need will remain, won't they?

My monthly salary is what it is, so it's tough to move until my side job stabilizes...

(If the monthly salary is 120,000 yen, the rent would be around 30,000 yen, right?💦

Actually, I wonder if temp workers can even rent a place.

The place I lived before had high rent; it cost 200,000 yen a month. Rent really adds up, so I'd rather just buy a house now.)

○ Studying Web Design

I'm working on assignments while reading the textbook and asking questions through chat.

Well, believe it or not, I signed up for Photoshop.

Since it's my first year, I'm using it for about 2,180 yen per month.

I have a test during my interview next week, so I need to study again.

○ Cleaning

・Organizing diaries

I've been keeping a diary since 2012, and I spent time organizing them.

I couldn't bring myself to throw away the ones from 2021 and 2017-2019 (a three-year diary) because those were times when I was working really hard.

Starting this year, I've been keeping a digital record to look at myself objectively.

I'll write an article about recommended apps later.

○ Creative Activities

I went to a workshop on making art a career. It was fun in its own way ☺

○ Taking a Break 🍵

・I brought canelés to my sister's house and we ate them.

・I went out for the first time in a while for the workshop.

The talk was interesting, and it felt good to talk to other people, but I couldn't sleep at night.

⋯Does anyone else understand this?

○ Changes in Feelings

This week, I was quite nervous about things.

It might be due to my monthly cycle, but it seems I've become sensitive to changes.

I decided to put aside worrying about what others might think and just asked a lot of questions.
