Hospital

I have had times where it was hard to hear, so I went to the hospital.

It is not a serious illness, but I will write an article about it later🖊️

Job hunting

・The temp agency coordinator,

is a woman, but she is polite and reliable.

I received a reply to my questions.

Q1 What about side jobs...?

It seems I will be enrolled in the temp agency's social insurance, but it looks like side jobs are not allowed for temp staff🤔

Q2 Is it a fixed-day shift?

It seems it is a fixed-day schedule. Since it is a temp position, they said it would be flexible, but I should contact them if I need a fixed day off.

(Rather than asking for a fixed day off, I actually scheduled a concert for my favorite artist on a weekday in June...)

Q3 What about leave of absence or reinstatement policies?

There is a leave of absence system, and the reinstatement system means quitting the dispatch role and coming back again.

I have moved forward with the selection process, but it seems the person in charge is on a business trip, so things haven't progressed yet.

・Parting ways with my career advisor

I don't feel confident about being a full-time employee at this stage (I don't think I'm suited for the feeling of being trapped as a full-time employee), and also, due to the expiration of my unemployment insurance, I decided to end it for now.

Deeply...

I worry about various things, but what's important is my own feelings.

Even if it didn't bear fruit, I was able to think about what I want to do in the future, so it was a harvest.🍎

As an aside, I heard that 'freelance' doesn't mean freedom, but rather fighting as an individual. Since there's no social insurance or anything, I kind of get it...

o iDeCo

I was worried about my iDeCo because I couldn't transfer it between banks, but I received a notification from the destination bank that the account has been opened, so it seems it was successful.

I think many people struggle with this, so I hope to write an article about it later 🤔

o Web Design

- Meeting a craftsperson

The instructor in charge is a woman, and I liked her straightforward, no-nonsense attitude.

Apparently, her previous job was something close to being a craftsperson.

She's different from my former boss; she actually tells me what needs to be said, so I felt I could trust her even when she gives me positive feedback.

Since it's refundable within a month, I figured if I didn't find at least three things I was concerned about by then, it would be fine to continue.

In any case, I'm not eligible for the general vocational training benefits anyway. (Because I'm receiving unemployment benefits and resigned after less than three years.)

Perhaps meeting a former artisan was some kind of fate, too.

○ Creative activities

・Set goals

I haven't written them out clearly yet, but I found a book and used it as a reference. I'll introduce it later.

I found a platform where I can upload my creative process as I go.

I'd like to engage in those kinds of activities in the future.

・A surge in creative motivation

Since things don't go well when this motivation spills over into my work, I decided to draw instead.

・SNS updates

I've been hiding my Instagram stories, setting up a note account for my creative work, and so on...

・Managed to book an interview

I have an interview for a course run by someone who works as an artist.

○ Taking a break 🍵

・Went to the 100-yen shop

Since I'm getting my supplies at the 100-yen shop, whenever I pick things with nice colors, they end up being Sanrio (lol).

It was good to be able to buy other things like cosmetics, skincare products, and storage for my fan merchandise.

It's amazing that they sell things like beauty serums for 100 yen... 😭

○ Change in mood

I want to go abroad.
