Waiting...

Well, my resume has been sent out, and I just finished up 2 interviews, one by phone yesterday and the other face to face today. Granted, they are at the company I work for now but in different areas than where I am now so we will see! So, now it is just a waiting game. Hopefully I will hear something soon. I am staying hopeful!
Now this morning I almost had it out with a coworker!! I mean she royally pissed me off. She told me yesterday that there was no need to dress up for an interview on a Friday when the company is the same and everyone will have on jeans anyway. Well!! I am sorry but I don't care who the interview is with, I am not wearing jeans. She then proceeds to tell me that when she had her interview here she wore jeans because it was on a Friday and she had been here umpteen years. Fine! If you feel comfortable and feel like they won't care then do it. I just feel like you should look presentable for a business interview. That being said, this morning she and another coworker tried to make me feel bad for wearing a dress today. They asked me why I dressed up and why didn't i just wear jeans and be comfortable. I tried to tell them that I liked looking nice. They tell me then that people don't care anymore, that the people interviewing us wouldn't mind. I had it!!!! I looked at little Ms. Know It All and said "I'm sorry but it is just plain tacky to wear jeans to an interview!!" She disagrees with me and then when I tried to explain myself again she looks at the other lady and says "just leave her alone, she has her own opinion and that is fine." Damn straight it's fine!! As far as the picture goes, that explains how I felt about her this morning. I would've loved to rumble w/ her bony ass!!!



Needless to say, I think the interview went well even with all the drama that people in a workplace can create :)

On pins and needles

Okay, so I have sent my resume out to several different places, and also to the company I currently work for (even though I would rather not stay here). I haven't heard anything yet, but it has only been like 2 days since I e-mailed everyone. Only time will tell. Meanwhile, I am on pins and needles waiting to hear something. I just have to have confidence in myself and my abilities and exude that somehow.

On a different note, Grey's Anatomy was so good last night. I thought my heart would jump out of my chest when McDreamy told Meredith that he was in love with her forever. That was only one of the many good points of the show last night :) I cannot wait for this season.

And on a totally different note, speaking of funny signs here are a few more ...

Karma

Yep!!! Prime example that karma sucks!!!! But this example is so priceless!!!!

Funny signs

The picture of my soul

What Your Soul Really Looks Like

You are quite expressive and thoughtful. You see the world in a way that others are blind to. You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds. You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you. Your near future is likely to be filled with great successes and accomplishments. You just need to figure out how to get there. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.

Inside the Room of Your Soul

Okay, so I don't know about the whole grounded thing, but head in the clouds sounds about right! :) I do like the bright future part though, and yes I am definitely trying to figure out how to get there right now. As far as love goes, that hit the nail on the head.

Why....

don't they sell this in stores so I can drink about 5 cans before going to my hubby's grandma's house????

Here goes nothing

Okay, so I just found out that the company I work for is not going to be giving severance packages to the people that get laid off in the next few months. WHAT!!!???!! How can that be? I mean, they want you to jobline and try to find something internally but there are only so many dept's and only so many jobs to go around. I was going to wait to be laid off, collect my severance, and use the money to go back to school for nursing (seems we are having a shortage of those here South Carolina). Anyway, doesn't look like that is an option at this point. And, while I despise this company for its many backstabbing, biggoted, racist views (just to name a few), I really don't like the idea of trying to go to another company and leave shortly after starting to go back to school if the opportunity arises.

What to do? A hospital here offers a scholarship to pay your way through nursing school, but you have to be in the nursing program and of course being ancient as I am my SAT's are not up to date so I am lacking 2 classes to be in the program. One class I can take at night but the other is a lab that is only offered during the day.

Anyway, I have applied here and will wait and see what happens. Whatever is meant to be will be.

By the way I work for Wamu, which should actually be Wa-boo! cause it sucks!!!

On a brighter note--At least I don't have these jobs!!!

It's My Party!!!!

Okay, so this weekend I celebrated my 28th birthday. Everything was pretty good, except for the fit that my child through in a store we went in and except for the fact that I have discovered that my child is a klepto!!!
First of all, we needed lawnmower blades so we went to the hardware store and my son saw a tractor that you ride on by pedaling it (kind of like an old school hot wheels-lol). Anyway, that thing cost like $179. No way with his birthday coming up was I buying that (plus i really didn't have the money on me for that.) So anyway, he proceeds to kick and scream and do everything but tear down store shelves. I proceeded to calmly but firmly tell him he would stop and he would stop now. Well, apparently that wasn't on his agenda, so the hubbster picks him up (kicking and screaming at the top of his lungs) and proceeds to carry him out of the store--to the shock and horror of everyone around (good grief I didnt' realize people could stare like that. At least we were taking him out of the store and not leaving him there for everyone to hear.) So, needless to say we left empty handed.

Well, then my husband starts cleaning out Nathan's pants pockets that he wore to church yesterday and one by one little tiny dinosaurs start falling out!!!! Well, those aren't his toys! We asked him where he got them and he says "Sunday School" and we asked if the teacher gave them to him and he says "no. I take them". We were like "you took them without asking?!?!" he just calmly replied "Yep!". Oh I was upset. So I told him he would be taking them back next week and he would tell the teacher that he was sorry. (I am so turning into my mom like the time she made my brother take back erasers that he stole and tell the clerk he was sorry).
He wanted to play with "his" dinosaurs later on but I told him no way cause he wouldn't have them to play with if he hadn't taken them in the first place.

Other than the commotion my son caused this weekend all went pretty well.

I made a cake last night to bring to work. It has gone over pretty well, so that has made my day. Never know if people are going to like my stuff or not and the fear of rejection causes me not to bring a lot of the stuff that I make. I guess I will have to just go for it from now on!!

A time for remembrance

Of course we all knew that yesterday would be a time for remembrance, and recognition. It was everywhere you turned around. The radio, the t.v., the computer, etc. I didn't post yesterday as I wanted to because time didn't allow, but I wanted to take a few minutes now and just remember the loved ones that were lost.
I watched the live memorial show on ABC via the internet yesterday, but only got a few minutes into it when I realized there was no way I would get anywork done if I continued to watch because the tears started flowing without me realizing they were there at first. I guess the fact that there was a group that was singing "You Raise Me Up" didn't help either--such a sentimental song. :)
Anyway, just wanted to take a moment to reflect, and even though I didn't lose anyone that I knew, and I didn't know anyone who did lose someone, my heart still breaks over and over again for the senseless and horrific tragedy that occurred that day.
May God bless all!!!!
