Yay FRIDAY

Yep I know it sounds crazy, what with no job and all, but I'm so glad it's Friday!!! I am going to need to make an intelligent job decision here within the next couple of days. I have a feeling that I'm going to receive an offer from that company I interviewed with a few days ago. I had a second phone interview yesterday afternoon that went really well. And my old boss called and said that they called her for a reference and it sounded like they loved me! (well, really, who wouldn't? LOL). But that means I'll have to decide if I want to do this self employment thing or take a job with a company with bene's and such.

Oh big decisions I tell ya! Got a lot done this morning though, on the up side. Maybe that will take some of the stress of, getting things handled.

Gonna get more coffee... perhaps I'm addicted, ya think? :o)

Happy Friday!

Whatever.

Oh for the love of...

So I had to go to this "mandatory" meeting at the unemployment office today - some work source training crap deal that the state requires... it was fine, whatever, guy was funny at least... but there was this ONE guy - you know the guy... the guy who askes 300 questions, the guy who interrupts and is just overtly annoying. Well, he wouldn't stop CLICKING his pen... it was click click click... stop for a minute... click click click... no WONDER the guys unemployed, his boss FIRED him for being disruptive and just plain freaking ANNOYING. And I wanted to BADLY to take that pen and shove it up his... well you get the point. He was obviously a guy who didn't think he was supposed to be there, asked the STUPIDEST questions I'm pretty sure I'd ever heard.. things like "if I contact a headhunter who specializes in my field and he refers me to the president of the universe, is that considered a job referral?" Umm, buddy? did ya not just say he REFERRED you? Good God... Man oh man, I wanted to huck something at him SO BADLY... but I refrained, sat there quietly, did my "time" and got the HELL out of there!

What is WITH people anyway?

 

Interviewing is for suckers!

Unless it went really well, LOL - which it did for me. She all but offered me the job on the spot, but corporate needs stuff and yadda yadda and hurry and get it to me so I can send you an offer letter, yadda yadda! VERY nice aye??? Didn't get the job that I first interviewed for, SAD! But oh well, win some ya lose some...

Hey what, am I from Canada all of a sudden with the aye?? - my Canadian friends would be so proud... ;o)

I'm off to get these references sent, keep your fingers crossed for me everyone!

Tuesday

So, I totally overslept, but luckily it's ok, since I don't have a "real" job yet....

But another interview today - sick of interviewing! Wish me luck. Haven't heard back from the job I want yet, but I'm supposed to hear today. So keep your fingers crossed for me.

I need a beer - wait, it's only 10:30 in the morning... I need more coffee!

Happy Tuesday

Cereal

Why does it take a blow torch and a buck knife to open a box of stupid cereal? Without them, one of two things happen, either a) you rip the bag open and cereal FLIES all over the kitchen or b) it tears all the way down and cereal ends up out of the bag and into the bottom of the box... or 3) you can't get the damn thing open no matter WHAT you do! (Which is what happened to me this morning, followed immediately by b)....

Go figure...

Saturday morning

I love Saturday mornings... I think they're my favorite time of the week, really! It's a beautiful day, I don't have to job hunt (thank GOD), and I have plans for this afternoon to go and play with some friends. Should be a good weekend...

I get this call yesterday from random lady from random company asking me to come in and interview. I've heard of the company before, yet, never applied there! Turns out it was a recommendation from someone who knows me, how neat is that?? They like me they REALLY like me! (oh Sally Fields... LOL). So I'm going to go interview with them on Tuesday. Meanwhile, I'm STILL waiting to hear back from the job that I want. I did get a call yesterday from them asking me very politely if I can just hang tight for another day or two while they finalize their decision and finish calling on references. I have a 1 in 3 shot to get this job, out of all of those applicants. That's pretty good odds I'd say! I should be happy just to be "nominated". HA! I'll see what they have to offer, see how the interview goes on Tuesday, figure out what I want to be when I grow up and go from there. :o)

Have a good weekend everyone!!!!

Well, well, well...

If it isn't my favorite day of the year...

Ya, kidding.

I hate Valentine's day.

Let's have a single day! But I suppose I would have to buy MYSELF stuff - but hey, that might be ok...

Thursday, oh Thursday

Well, the inevitible has happened and I have been laid off from work. The past couple of weeks have been all about "possibilities". I have a few offers on the table, two more interviews this week - and then I'll need to make a stupid decision.

Do I work self employed for friends??? Do I do part time work for awhile??? Do I take an offer at a company that may or may not be around in another 6 months, strictly for the upgrade in job title for my resume'? Or do I take the safe, 40 hour/week, full benefits, salaried position. Now the latter sounds the most stable, I know - but hey, self employment has it's benefits as well, the most important one being the money that I may be able to make. *heavy sigh*...

Well, you guessed it, another interview, so I must run - wish me luck!

Oh Thursdays.
