Take a look at this

Thursday's Interview

Went okay...

I am her top candidate but she is afraid to offer me the job...

She believes something else will come my way and OFF I will be...

I don't know if I will be offered the job or not...

She can't decide.

Interview Today

The interview went well. The only problem is the job doesn't start until May...maybe even June depending on construction. The hospital is consolidating the orthopaedic units into one facility. I would be responsible for A LOT!!!! I won't know if I will be given the job until 2 - 3 weeks. I asked what would hold me back from getting the job and was told the only thing would be if another candidate came in with IN HOSPITAL experience and had all the other experience I had, then I wouldn't get the position...

Being without a job until May is not acceptable. I am working with a temp agency but I haven't had an assignment yet.

I am really working on keeping my hopes high and not be discouraged....it is getting harder and harder by the day.

Two This Week

I got a call from St V Carmel for the Orthopaedics Dept today for an interview. This wouldn't be but 5 minutes from my house! I am not sure what the job is...I don't know how much it pays...I know very little about it. What I do know is orthopaedics since I worked for surgeons for 8 years. This job is an administrative assistant for the orthopaedics department. Yet, I still know NOTHING about the job itself. I will be interviewing with the depart head tomorrow. Wish me LUCK!

Thursday, I have another one scheduled at an ear surgeons office. The pay is only $13 an hour (I don't know if I would have to pay for parking) but I don't have a job paying anything an hour so that beats a stick to the head. The job is being a receptionist for the front office. You know the job I am talking about..."Do you have any new insurance cards?" etc... I know I am over qualified but it could be a paying gig so have to do what I have to do...

The neurosurgeons office I interviewed for last week is only $13 an hour too but I would have to pay to park (almost $40 a month). Health benefits are good but the job really isn't something I think I would enjoy...AT ALL...but there again...I don't have any money coming in....

Interview Call

One of the places I sent my resume in called for an interview. The pay isn't great...but it is a tad and I mean..just a little bit more than what I was being paid by the door co. I am supposed to call on Monday morning to set up something.

Friday at school

Today I learned a child in Maggie's class said something hateful about her in front of her class. It was a child, who is always in trouble at school. He is also a boy who has his own special ed teacher to help him....however his words still stung.

He was on the same gym team as Maggie and apparently they didn't win the game. He announced it was her fault because she was little and the she had small legs...maybe even something about not being able to run. The boy was sent to the principals office but neverless, the deed was done and what was said was said. I know I can't protect her all the time. I know kids are kids. I know this was the first of many but it hurt my heart neverless.

I want to knock the crap out of this little boy. I know I am going to have to really think about my reaction and really let this go. I just get so crazy when people aren't nice to her. She has already been through a lot and it really makes me mad.

No Interviews

I do not have any more interviews scheduled. I am trying not to panic. I know I will find something I just wish it was now, instead of later.

Does anyone know someone who could help me with St. Vincent's or Clarian North? I have applied for several jobs open there, which I am capable of doing and have done in the past...but have yet to receive a call for an interview. I am confused as to why it is taking so long. HELP!

When You Know Your Feet Stink.


Thanks to Ariel for sending this one to me!

Interview Touchdown


I had a good interview today. I will be shocked if I am not offered the job but stranger things have happened. The only issue is I don't know if I am interested in the job. It doesn't pay well AT ALL but sitting and working doesn't pay ANYTHING so I must remember that too.

I did take my typing test at St. V's today and I rocked that. The minimum typing score for the executive assistant position I took was 60 WPM and I typed over 70. So that was good.

I got home and the temp agency called and wanted to talk to me. They said they may have a position for me. I will call them back tomorrow in between job interviews.

I knew all the opportunities would come at once. I just hope I pick the best one for me. I want to stay someplace forever and ever. I don't want to have to go through all this interviewing ever again.... (unless it is within a company I am already employed with and just trying for advancement.)

That's all folks!

Interviews and Oprah

I have an interview on Monday and while I am over near St. V's I will go ahead and take a typing test I have been putting off. On Tuesday, I have another "Temporary" interview I am going to in the morning. The temporary position is for only 3 weeks but it is a paycheck. I have a lady who needs data entry and formulas put into an excel spreadsheet...so after she and I meet on Tuesday, if I believe I can do, the job will be mine. It is great hope I will get a interview at either St V's or Clarian North this week too. I have applied for 2 different positions at both of these places and I am more than capable to do either of these jobs. What is taking them so long to call me is what I want to know. It is has been, like 3 days since I applied....LOL!!

I was reading my book today and fell asleep...in my dream Oprah came to me and said I needed to network more and I needed to look and see if there were upcoming events I could network with. Oprah is everywhere these days!!! I then learned Lynn C was talking to a neighbor or something and may have something and she should know more on Monday. If something comes of this, Lynn is going to get a nice dinner from me!!

Health Care

Thanks, although surprised, to my Mom for sending me this one!

Japanese doctor says, "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in six weeks."

A German doctor says, "That is nothing. We can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in four weeks."

A British doctor says, "In my country medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have both of them out looking for work in two weeks."

The American doctor, not to be outdone, interjected, "You guys are way behind. We are about to take a woman with no brains, put her in the White House, and then half the country will be out looking for work."

Herbie drives me bananas

We have the entire collection of "Herbie"...last night, it only took about 10 minutes before I fell asleep during Herbie Goes Banana's. I try so hard not to fall asleep but those chairs are so comfortable and it is dark and the movies are so darn boring! Maggie loves them and I want to stay up and watch them with her but I just can't and it drives me BANANAS!

Job Interview Today

I have an interview at 3 p.m. today. It is here in Westfield so it is my hope it goes well. I am pretty nervous about it. I know I shouldn't be but I am. I also have an interview on Wednesday. It is my great hope, I will have several more interviews by the end of the month so I would have a good source of jobs to choose from. I would really like to be employed again within the next 2 weeks. That would be my goal. I am sure some of you are worried for me (mom and dad) but let me say, financially I am OKAY right now.

Monday Morning - Why am I UP so early?

I ended up going to the emergency care last evening. I have a stack of diagnoses but on top of that, I got good drugs. Hopefully, this will be the LAST time I am sick for awhile.

I couldn't talk AT ALL so I had my mom call my boss. She told him I had NO VOICE but if he wanted to talk to me, I was sitting next to her and I could listen. I know when I was in charge of employees, I wanted to hear from THEM, not their boyfriends, girlfriends and certainly never their mother...but he was cool with it. Mom said he sounded confused.

I was up most of the night. I found my room to be very hot. My mom said the steroids I am on will give me hot flashes. I think thinking about that made me hot. My hair felt so wet and gross and I never sweat like that. I wonder what was going on...

Well, I must be off now. I think I will go sweat some more because after looking for jobs for almost an hour online, I am tired again.

UGH

It is almost 10 am and I haven't heard if boss is coming in.  What does this mean to me?  Well, it means if I have to go to the bathroom, I must run, jump and hurry and do it.  The worse part means I won't get a BREAK or a LUNCH because I failed to bring anything in.

My Own Personal Ad

I am thinking about taking out an ad in one of the business magazines for the Indianapolis area....Not a personal ad like ...single, white, female looking for...but what I am looking for in a job and a boss and what kind of employee I am. I am wondering if I would get any hits for prospects....

I could call it Desperately Seeking Career....or...what would you call it?

Sending Them Up

Lord, please help me get through the next 4 hours quickly.  I realize these are 4 hours I am asking to swiftly pass by me and I will never get these 4 hours back in my lifetime.  I am, however, ready to go ballistic sitting here at work.
 
Amen.

It happened yet again

Not more than 10 minutes after owner came in, I had a complete coughing, getting sick in toliet issue.
 
What do you think?  Allergic to boss?

Allergies or Allergic to SOMEONE?

I woke up unable to speak a word out of my voice today.  I took an allergy pill and also Muncinx and seem to be working pretty well.  I didn't sneeze or cough AT ALL!
 
Around 10ish....boss man came in and immediately I started choking!  Could this be that I am allergic to him???  Or maybe SICK OF HIM!  TEE HEE!!  At any rate, it wasn't fun!  I couldn't believe it....I am sure it was the Muncinx working and it just came loose at the same time...but we will see.  He as left for a little while...will I have another attack when he comes back in???
