We went to a great movie Friday night, “Slumdog Millionaire.” It’s a great film that is kind of a fairytale. It doesn’t have much to do with finding a job, but it’s a great story that in a way shows how to continue chasing what you want in life, no matter how difficult the circumstances.

I haven’t been to a movie in months, partly because we have a 4-year-old daughter and it’s difficult to get out of the house for a date. But also because I’ve been busy with the job search. I remember months ago at a Job Connections meeting where one unemployed guy noted that after months of constantly looking for a job, he treated himself to part of an afternoon off from job hunting to go to a movie. It was a great escape and a good break, he said. Looking for full-time work can be a 40-hour week or more, and breaks like this are necessary.
