I Have a Job, I Deserve a Better One


This time yesterday I was jumping up and down with lots of joy and glee, GLEE! The company I have been trying so HARD to get a job with called me to schedule an interview. SWEET! She mentioned that she would e-mail me the directions to the location and to confirm the time.

I didn’t check my e-mail yesterday, I mean really? I know where they are located! It is like one of my top companies to work for (just a few notches below Disney, Google, and Apple).

I checked the e-mail this morning when I got in the office, and to my surprise, it was not from the company I thought. Another company, could it be? I called. It was the same (SAME) company that called me yesterday. My first question was how did you get my resume? Career Builder dot com. Click.

I get it, so in order to apply for the company I REALLY want a job with, I had to apply through Career Builder dot com. When the women mentioned that over the phone yesterday, I thought it was the company I APPLIED for.

I hate companies who solicit business. Wait, no. They didn’t solicit business, they solicited employees?

Anyway, I cancelled the interview, because for all I know they are a cult, that hires people and then lays them off if he or she is not a “good fit.”

*sigh* So, I am still waiting for a call from that company I really want to work for.

Bottoms Up!


Imagine… You are next to the pool drinking an iced cold beverage, in a frosted glass, on a hot day of Summer. You look at your drink and notice that there is only one drink left. Do you finish it?

I never (and I emphasize ‘never’) drink the last of anything. It does not matter if my lips were the only lips to touch the drink, I still cannot do it. It’s purely mental; all I can imagine is the salvia/food concoction that might have managed to make its way to the bottom of that drink and the thought of consumption? No way!

So the next time you peer at your drink and it’s almost to the bottom, are you going to think twice about taking that last final sip?

How's Your '09




Man do I suck! October of 2008 was my last post?

Well, I just graduated with my B.S., so I am pretty sure I will have a lot more time on my hands. I thought I might get back into blogging (not like I was deep in it the first time).

Not too much has changed. I have a boyfriend, Lover! The first boyfriend ever. We live together and love each other! :D
