Me and You and Everyone We Know

Me and You and Everyone We Know----This is a very weird movie but I enjoyed it! I love poetic and artsy films...something out of the ordinary and not expected. I watched this movie today.

I got a call from Clarian Health today. They need one more reference so I gave them two more to contact. I can't wait to see where I am going to be working and what I am going to do and when! How about how much I am going to be paid? That is important too! This waiting is a killer....

It's been a birthday weekend!

Today was my mothers birthday...and as my friend Laurie would say..."She turned 30/31"...(add together to get age). In my family, the birthday person gets to pick where they want to go to eat to celebrate. By looking at the pictures can you guess what South side restaurant we went to? It is a top 10 restaurant for Indy. They say the cows give the name and location away.

The food was FAB! If you ordered from the dinner menu they start you out with homemade onion soup! I have never been a big fan of onion soup until I had it at my cousin Karen's house. She made from scratch and it was the best...this is a close second (or third) so I have to say it was pretty darn good! Then after soup is finished, they serve a very nice salad! It had lots of veggies and was very good too. I order a steak! I could have cut it with my spoon and I even ordered it medium well...so you know it had to be good! The dinner also came with bread and a choice of side. Lots of goodies to eat at this reaturant! In fact, I may want to choose it for my special day! Good choice mom!

On a side note...on the way to my parents home, Maggie told me she wished she could go ice skating because she had "moves". You see, we watched Ice Princess on Disney the other night and afterwards she got up and danced and twirlled. Daddy told her she had some great moves. One of the cutest moves is when she tries to jump and spin in the air with her hands above her head! Love it!

Cute things from yesterday

I gave my friend Becky yesterday a pair of ear rings and a bracelet I had made. I wasn't sure if she would like the bracelet so I brought an alternative for her to choose from. As we were sitting there, she stated I should sell the jewelry I was making and I explained I was only doing it for myself and to give as gifts. She kept pushing and pushing asking how much I would charge for a bracelet and I finally asked her why and she said she wanted to buy the other bracelet I had brought. I asked her if it was for herself and she said of course it was. She wanted both bracelets. I told her she could have them both at no charge...I wasn't going to sell jewelry. She was so excited and giggled. I told her I would have to cut down the length of the other bracelet down as it was a 7 1/2 length and she wears a 6 1/2. (The first bracelet I had made smaller.) So she was very excited and then her face lit up and she asked..."With the extra pieces you are cutting down from the bracelet, could you then make me ear rings?" Thanks for asking Becky! I would love to make you more! This made me feel good to know she really did like what I had given her.

Last night Uncle Daniel and Grandma French came over. Maggie gets SO excited when Uncle Daniel comes over. While we were sitting at the table, I asked Maggie..."What does Uncle Daniel have that I don't? Why don't you like me as much as you like him?"

Her response....

"Auntie, I like you both the same!" (That was a brilliant response for a 6 year old!)

Oh Maggie, could I love you any more?

Birthday

Today is my oldest and one of my dearest friends birthday. Becky Werhle and I have been friends since kindergarden and have remain friends during all those years. We were fortunate enough to live in the same area the entire time we were growing up, which allowed us to stay at the same school district. Ater school, and even though we were living on opposite sides of the city, we made an effort to see each other every few months. It is really amazing to have a bond with someone, which is so deep. I know all about her and her family (not just her husband and kids...but her sisters and brothers and nieces and nephews too!) and she knows all about mine. Even in all the crazy filled days of our lives, we are there for each other and never judge. It is such a wonderful feeling!

Here is to you Becky! Happy 42nd Birthday! May you have many, many blessed more!

New Job Offer and School

2 things happened today...

#1...I have a pending job offer from Clarian Health. Where the job is located I am not sure. I sure hope it is at Clarian North and NOT Methodist, IU or Riley (Downtown)...Why do I say pending? Clarian has to call my references. I hope I put some good ones down. To bad I don't remember who I listed so I could bribe them. (HAHA...just kidding) After my references are called a formal offer will be sent to me.

#2...I offically start my accounting degree on March 3rd. I am going to attend DeVry University located here in Indianapolis.

I still have still have an interview to go to tomorrow. It will be the 3rd and final interview. Stay tuned.

Today's Interview

I am becoming a professional interview person! I had another interview today. I don't want to jinx myself..so I am not going to say much about it. The guy said I was over qualified...but he said everyone was over qualified in the positions they were in right now...this new job is a start up company but isn't a start up company...A larger company owns it...hard for me to explain so I won't right now. It is currently in Fishers, on 96th Street but will be moved to 75th and Shadeland in about a month.

I was called back for a 3rd interview for Thursday for a different position. OMG 3rd interview....

That is it for now.

MONDAY

What am I doing right now? Listening and watching Maggie play Guitar Hero. Every time she plays, she gets better and better. I just love watching her. It is the cutest thing to see her play. She gets over 70 something percent of the song and normally can do a 50 play streak...pretty good for being 6...especially since her little hands don't go around the neck of the guitar and she plays the guitar backwards to accomidate!

This morning when I got up Maggie asked me if I wanted her to fix me breakfast. "I know how" she what she said. She first asked me if I wanted toast. I asked her how she would fix it and she said she would put it in the toast and let it get black. Very cute! She mentioned a couple other things she could make...I decided to just drink my water.

I am hoping to hear back from one of the many interviews I had last week, today or tomorrow. I am ready to go back to work and make some money!

Dummy It Up?

I recieved the call from this morning's interview. While I was in their top 5, they decided only to send the top 3 downtown for a second interview...blah blah heard it all before. He said the reason why I wasn't chosen was because he and the HR Mgr didn't believe I would be happy in one job...doing it day in and day out...every day. Blah blah...he is right...I wouldn't have been happy but it would at least paid the bills. I NEVER say anything like this but they can see from my resume, I have done lots of things...So, I can understand their throught process...don't want to hire someone to stay for a few months then move on. Bad for business....so now I wonder if the jobs I applied for at the hospital is going to come back the same exact way. I am really thinking I should dummy down myself and my resume. I just don't know what to do or think. I am not depressed over the situation, just tired of interviewing....ya know?

Also, another reason this job this morning wasn't great for me is because they don't offer tution assistance for additional schooling...I don't want to make pennies for the rest of my life so I wanted to go back into the medical field so that they would help pay...

NEXT!

Last Interview For The Week

It went well...they had over 200 people apply for the job...the one and only job they have open. They called in 20 for interviews and I was one of the 20. I was amazed and excited I got the opportunity to interview. They will pick a couple people from the 20 and send them downtown to do a second interview on Monday. Second interivews drive me crazy and yet again, I would have to drive downtown Indy.

So I sit and I wait.

It's 4:27 AM

I
can
not
sleep.

Nursing Baby

3 Down 1 To Go

Here is the scoop!

The first interview of the day was a call back. I got there early so I sat in my car and slept. (I can sleep anywhere). There were 2 guys who interviewed me this time...it was the two owners. One of the owners is from England and has that great accent. The other one is a hippie. He even said he was and he still looks like he is one. I wonder if he still gets stoned every night or if he is just slow in nature. I was told at the end of the meeting that the first interview was conducted by the consultant, she then decided who would come in for the second interview to meet each owner...then the last interview...this is when I wanted to scream...would be held next week. They would discuss tomorrow who to call back. After we talked some more and I shook his hand to leave he said, "I will be seeing you next week." I don't know if he was saying I would be called back yet a 3rd time or if he was just being nice.

The last 2 interviews were at a hospital downtown. I got there early so I sat in the nice lobby. There is a piano, one which plays itself, in the lobby so I sat in the nice and comfy chairs and listened to the player and watched people come and go (for over 45 minutes...I said I was early!) Wow! People do come and go at that hospital! Anyway, about 10-15 minutes before my interivew I walked to the department to have my interview and check in. The gal who announced me to the interviewer came back out to me and said "You already have 2 thumbs up!" I asked why and she said the interviewers were so surprised and happy that I was on time let alone early! I was shocked. She said most people are late....anyway...the interview went great....better than great really. In the end I asked if I needed to do anything or what I was lacking in order to be hired and I was told I needed to do nothing...as far as they were concerned I was a perfect fit for the job. I was told I would hear something next week....hurray! Then I was asked what job I was being interviewed for tomorrow at the same hospital...I told them I had NO IDEA and we all laughed. I said, HR called me so many times yesterday and they didn't tell me. I just took the interviews and they gave me the times to be when and were!

I sure hope to get a job at the hospital, which is 3.3 miles away from home! The pay is well, I don't want to go there...but there is something about being close to home and awesome benefits!

I guess I will know more next week. Stay tuned to this channel!

Lifting Baby

I have recevied so many of these and think they are so funny! I will post a few here and there whenever I get the chance.

Ebay and Cracking Like An Egg

Those markers are now over $70 bucks! I am very excited!

Today is going to be a big day for me. With 3 interviews I hope I can hold up and not crack under all the questions.

OH WOW!

Here is the newest and greatest update! I have a second interview with the job, which I bombed the test on yesterday tomorrow at 2 PM. Then I have 2 interviews for Clarian Health tomorrow night at 5 PM. On Friday, I have another interview at 9:30 AM for yet another job at Clarian. There are 3 jobs open at Clarian and each of the managers want to interview me! I am very happy to get this opportunity...No doubt I will be exhausted by the end of it all! Normally one interview is enough for me to want to lay down afterwards. Now I have 4 within the next 2 days. PHEW!

2 at Clarian North

I just got another call....well, actually 3 today from the recruitment department..there is another manager who is interested and wants to meet with me. Looks like I may have 2 interviews on Friday with CH! Cowabunga!

Incredible!

I got a call from the place I interviewed with yesterday (the one which I failed the test!) and they have called me back for a second interview tomorrow at 2 PM. They must be desperate but I am so happy for the chance! I have an interivew with Clarian North on Friday at 9:30 a.m. I also should hear from St V's within the next few days. It would be awesome if I had my choice of the 3 jobs to choose from. I wouldn't necessarily choose the one, which offers the most $ because benefits mean a lot to me!

Bad Interview

Well, the talking part went well but the test didn't go well AT ALL. The test was 3 pages...I didn't know what FF&E meant. I never seen this before. It wasn't in the book I bought and it wasn't on any of the thousands of websites I have been on. So I couldn't finish the test in the time given. Each page had this listed and on the last 2 pages, I had to write general entries using FF&E. The last page I had to do T journaling and once again it had FF&E...at the bottom, I had to give totals. Since I didn't know FF&E, I couldn't even start. I called my friend Luci on the way home. She has been a bookkeeper for 10 years and never heard of the term. She looked on the web and couldn't find anything. When I asked the lady I was interviewing for what it stood for she looked shocked...

I did get a call today from Clarian North...they want me to come in for an interview...my phone interview was yesterday. A big $12 bucks an hour. Nice, 41 years old and I may be able to get a job at a pay rate I had 15 years ago...

Today is the day

I have a very important inteview today. The only issue with the interview is with the testing. I am afraid of the test. I can do the work, I just don't do well on the test. To bad the test isn't in typing or something like that...it is accounting and I still don't know all the principles of accounting and I have been studying off and on for almost 3 days.

Maggie is STILL sick! She is coughing something fierce. Her temp was right under 100 degrees but she woke up crying. Makes me sad!

I will update blog after interview....

Oops!

I meant to say "Jack" Nasty Virus...not nasty jack virus.

I am getting ready for my interview tomorrow! I am looking forward to getting the job.....

Phone Interview Today

THEY FINALLY CALLED! CLARION HEALTH CALLED AND WANTS TO DO A PHONE INTERVIEW!! Today at 2:00 p.m. Hip Hip Hurray!

I took Maggie to doctor. She does not have strep or a urine infection. Dr. went ahead and ordered an xray of her chest because she refused to breathe. He was checking to make sure she doesn't have phenumonia. Should know by the end of the day. Dr. believes she has the nasty jack virus going around. There were lots of kids in the office with the same issues. We even seen a child in the xray waiting area...the same as us.

I have a good feeling. I think I will have a job by the end of the month. Won't it be great to have a few to choose from?

Goodness

I am taking Maggie to see MD at 10:45...Mommy should be rid of those darn kids at 11:00 so she plans to meet me there (Inside joke about being rid of the kids...)

Price of markers on sale on ebay continue to go up! LOVIN' IT! Hello money...good bye markers (which I never use!!) I wonder what else I can sell..........

It's Monday

My little niece is still SICK and still running a fever. She had to stay home from school on Friday. She laid around all weekend...and since she wasn't fever free for 24 hours (still running fever today too) she had to stay home today. Mommy is working half day and will be taking her to MD this afternoon...AT LEAST the "fluid" isn't coming out her mouth!!...but coughing seems to be worse today. It breaks my heart to see her so limpless!!

I have been studying for my accounting test tomorrow. Feeling better about things since I got a workbook. Just hope I can remember what I have learned today for tomorrow...HAHA!!

Help Me Rhonda, Help Help Me Rhonda!

Although thankful for it...I have another interview on Tuesday at 1 PM. Bookkeeping position...something I can do. My only issue is they want me to take an accounting test...UGH! I can do the work, I just don't know all the "proper terms" like Principle of continuity and words like that. Seems simple but normally they describe things in story telling mode. I never did to well with story problems. SO...I went to Barnes and Noble and purchased a book with quizes. I hope to get through the entire 300 some pages by Tuesday! WISH ME LUCK!

Markers on ebay are over 40 bucks! Go me!

Ebay

I put my stampin up markers on ebay yesterday....the bid is now up to $33! WHOOT! The markers have been going for over $100 on ebay so I am hoping to cash in BIG!

Major

Bad headache today! Whew! I can't believe it is over. It took forever. I think the stress of the week got to me and wham bam it took the form of an awful pain in my sinuses. I wouldn't wish headaches on anyone!

I have a new love. I purchased beads about 4 years ago and with my SIL making bracelets I got my beads out. I have re-strung some old bracelets into new ones using both the old parts and the beads I had already purchased and I have found I love wearing them again! I have crafted old into new and it has been really fun!

I also made a bracelet and necklace for one of my friends daughter...my friend doesn't wear jewerly but her tween does! Pictures forthcoming!

No Job For Me!

With a 50/50 chance, I didn't get offered the position. That really blows.

I am still going at it and applying for everything I am qualified for and hope someone will decide to hire me.

I still have no regrets leaving the other company. Maybe some think I should but I don't. I wasn't being treated right and for one of the first times in my life I stood up for myself. I am very proud of doing it too.

Wednesday Night

Tonight I went to stamp camp. There are several women who work at the different hosptials and I was told to apply every week at the hospitals and if necessary, call every week. I was told Riley needed help despartely. I don't want to have to drive that far...but will do so to get my foot in the door if it comes to it.

Tomorrow (Thursday) I have an interview at 10:00 a.m. It is a temp position for 10 weeks. It is on the NW side of Indy. I prefer the NE or N but will take what I can get at this point. The job pays well. I am really wondering if it is a temp position because the company I am going to had an ad for the exact position I am interviewing for. I just wonder if they had a hard time finding candidates and are going the temp to hire route but hasn't let on. I will do my best in the interview...put on a smile and be the best interviewer I can be. It is so exhausting!

I should know about the St V's job in about 4-10 days. I think I would like that job because they pay their people to go to collage. I need to get a degree in something! Maybe nursing would be a good thing for me...I don't know.

Two Calls Today

One phone interview and one interview. The second is a 10 week assignment. I sure wish I knew if I had the job at St V's or not. If I don't get the job, I wouldn't take a 10 week assignment...I don't want to take a temp job and have to quit after I said I would do it for 10 weeks...it just isn't right. If I get the St. V's job a temp job until it started would be awesome.

I just have to let it go and what will be will be.

I hope this link is still a good one.

Thanks mom for passing it on to me.

Another One Bites The Dust

The job, which I was over qualified for was passed onto a person for which the job would be a "step up" and not step down (For me it would be down). The practice administrator asked if she could pass my resume on with her online network and of course I said yes. I am very discouraged right now. I know it will pass but right now I feel like crap. I am seriously thinking I should "dumby down" my resume.

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.

Sick

SICK SICK AND MORE SICK
AND I AM
SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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???

Happy New Year!

My Job Style

I took a test online to see what kind of jobs I would like...this pretty much hits me on the head!

People with yellow Interests like job responsibilities that include organizing and systematizing, and professions that are detail-oriented, predictable, and objective. People with yellow Interests enjoy activities that include: ordering, numbering, scheduling, systematizing, preserving, maintaining, measuring, specifying details, and archiving, which often lead to work in research, banking, accounting, systems analysis, tax law, finance, government work, and engineering.

People with blue styles prefer to perform their job responsibilities in a manner that is supportive and helpful to others with a minimum of confrontation. They prefer to work where they have time to think things through before acting. People with blue style tend to be insightful, reflective, selectively sociable, creative, thoughtful, emotional, imaginative, and sensitive. Usually they thrive in a cutting edge, informally paced, future-oriented environment. You will want to choose a work environment or career path in which your style is welcomed and produces results.

I have said this before!

Wouldn't it be nice to have someone die, who you didn't know, leave you some money? I have said this on more than one occasion. I certainly don't want to wish bad luck on anyone but this would be a fantastic surprise!

BROWNSVILLE, Texas - For nearly seven years Melina Salazar did her best to put on a smile and tend to the every need of her most loyal and cantankerous customer.

She made sure his food was as hot as he wanted, even if it meant he burned his mouth. And she smiled through his demands and curses. The 89-year-old Walter "Buck" Swords obviously appreciated it, leaving the waitress $50,000 and a 2000 Buick when he died.

"I still can't believe it," the Luby's cafeteria employee told Harlingen television station KGBT-TV in an interview during which she described Swords as "kind of mean."

Swords, a World War II veteran, died in July. But Salazar learned just a few days before Christmas that he had left her the money and car.

Friday, AT LAST

There are a couple of things, which makes this day, Friday, a bad thing.

 

1.  I had to get up and go to work.

2. Owner is in today.

 

I can't think of any other reasons.

 

Let me tell you why the owner gets on my last nerves...other than I am treated like 2nd class...one of our techs got a "new" used car.  It is not that great of a car, there is a very large dent on the side but neverless, this is a step up for the tech.  He came in SO EXCITED about the car.  Was telling me all about the leather seats and all the goodies the car came with.  I, of course, was excited for him....you could see how excited he was, so how could you not be?  The owner comes in and asked where tech is and I told him he was here and that he got a new car and how excited he was about having it... (thus the reason why he didn't see his car in the lot) and then the owner said..."I was wondering who's piece of trash that was.." 

 

I need to say nothing more....hurts my heart.

Quote of the day! I love this one too!

Re-Gifting

I had a very good Christmas, however I read 83% of American adults receive unwanted gifts during the holiday season. This can't be just the casual-acquaintance category of gifts--it has to include gifts from loved ones too. This means that most people are potential re-gifters or resellers. Do you think the gift you gave could end up being re-gifted? The survey said that nearly half of those adults (47%) typically re-gift or resell items.

I want to know....did you get anything this year you don't care for? Or did you get a gift, which you don't think the person put any effort into?

Are you planning on re-gifting or re-selling the item(s)?

Merry Christmas and Many Blessings

Hope everyone is having a wonderful and blessed day. When I sit back and look at my many blessings, I find I have so many to even count. What a wonderful thing to have to much of!

Here is a picture of my Maggie girl I took this morning. She is getting so big and becomes more beautiful to me every day. Looking at this picture really makes me take a priorty check. I so am thankful to have such a wonderful niece and wonderful family!!!

Monday Early Morning

I woke up around 3 am this morning so I decided to get up and watch a little TV. I was very rested and felt great. I went downstairs and put in a movie, which I have been wanting to watch for over a year now (The Holiday). I watched about half of it and dozed off. When I woke up it was 9:30ish. Maggie said something to me. I had fallen asleep sitting up on the couch. Funny part was my dream....

I had dreamed that I lived in a house, something like a sorority house, with many different people and I had a very bad habit. A habit, which everyone overlooked but me. I made a short puffing sound of air out of my mouth (something like a raspberry sound) and it was a bad habit, which I did uncontrollable and all the darn time! I know I was trying to stop but it was very difficult and I was losing the battle. Very FUNNY! When I told SIL about my dream we both laughed and laughed. Every now and then I will make the sound...we laugh again.

Hope you had a great night and crazy dreams to share too!

Homemade Christmas

Each year, this being the 2nd year, my 3 girl friends and I make homemade gifts and then exchange them. This year we went to Carrabba's Italian Restaurant and had a nice dinner and exchanged presents with each other. This is all the goodies I got this year! Some of the items in the picture...a calendar, box of homemade cards to use, chocolate, a collage, homemade cookies, homemade fudge, a receipe holder with favorite cookie receipes (and a few others) and cookie scoops. I gave each friend a stained glass piece made my myself, home made beef stew (made by my mother) and a little box ornament. It was a fun evening!

LOVE THIS THOUGHT!

It's not just that when one door closes, another door opens.   When one door closes, choirs burst into chorus, orchestras orchestrate, bugles bugle, marching bands march, dogs catch Frisbees, cats 'chow, chow, chow,' pigs fly, and 10,000 new doors open.   Kind of makes you want a door to close, huh?

Tired of Monday's

Okay, not so much tired of them, it is I am just tired and it is Monday.

I am still not well but I would say 70% better. The drink just makes the bloody cold go away! I am still coughing and have bronchitis. How do I know? I have had it in the past and it feels the same. I took a breathing treatment last night and slept like Sleeping Beauty and just now took another one. I am almost out of the Aburterol and this makes me sad. I only use it when I desperately need it but the cost is out of this world. On top of that, no new Rx. This means I will have to go see MD again...another $300-440 gone. I know if you don't have your health you have nothing...just makes me mad since it is the same problem and I know I will sit in waiting room for 2 hours, be in the room for 40 minutes and 5 minutes later will walk out with the same Rx as before. Frustrating! I would buy it online if I could...I swear I would.


The picture I have uploaded is a stained glass piece I made last weekend. The soldering isn't great but it looks pretty if you are arms distances away...or...don't touch it!

Just finished another one

Had another drink just now before bed...and starting to sweat so this will be short. I just wanted to upload a couple pictures so here they are! My nice made these items in her craft class. I just think they are a hoot and had to share them!!!!

Sunday Morning Update

I am really excited for several reasons. The most important reason is that I had a decent sleep last night. Although I still am not well, I did get some rest. I believe the rest had to do with the drink I fixed myself last night. I have found if I drink this when I have a cold, the cold gets better. I guess the alcohol kills the germs. I wonder if alcoholics ever get colds? Okay well, here is what I fix when I get a cold. I fill a cup about 3/4 the way up with tea and heat it to the point of boiling point. You want to have the drink as hot as you can possibly drink it! Then after it is hot, you put a teaspoon of honey, squeeze some lemon (I LIKE A LOT OF LEMON!...(it kills the taste of the alcohol for me!) then I put AT LEAST a shot of whiskey. We have been using Southern Comfort. The first time I bought a bottle...what 2 years ago?....it was the cheapest whiskey I could find so that is what we have stuck with! I drink the drink as quickly as I can. Then wrap myself up in a blanket and sweat it out!!!!! By the morning, you will fill a difference! Normally 1 or 2 nights of this and I am completely well. I hope you don't have to use the recipe but there it is in case you do!

Next reason I am excited is I found a cable so I can now download my pictures from my camera! I haven't been able to do this for awhile but my brother said the same one for my phone can be used for my camera. Who knew? I am going to be uploading many pictures today. The first being a picture of my favorite gal, which is another reason why I am excited...she has let me take pictures of her again...it has been YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The last 3

I have been sick for the last few days. I am really, really sick of it. I haven't hae a good nights sleep for the last fw al

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.....see I keep falling asleep while wrihting this! Sitting up!

Black Tuesday and other tales

The alarm went off this morning and I decided to hit the snooze button.  At the time I should be leaving is when I woke up again.  I guess I didn't hit the right button...ya think?  So I jumped in the shower and washed off like I was running for a medal in the Olympics.  I sure wished at this point I would have washed my hair even if it meant I had to come in with it wet.  It feels awful!  My car is on total EMPTY and I didn't have time to stop and get gas.  I came in on fumes.  I hope my car will start when I leave tonight.  I should have stopped for gas.  I didn't know what I was going to wear today so I threw on some clothes....black sweats and sweatshirt and black boots.  This is one of good things I can say about my job.  I can wear this kind of clothes!

 

I was so tired last evening!  I worked and worked on a stained glass project and ended up hanging it up when I was done.  It looks beautiful from a distance but don't look to close!  I am still learning how to use the soldering iron and so it not very pretty up close.  I am telling you the truth when I say, the joints are not pretty.  The pattern is pretty though.  It was a pattern, which Maggie started.  She was playing with the pieces and I thought what she came up with was pretty.  My brother and I played with the pieces some more and came up with the design.  I sure wish I could post a picture but I don't know how do it with my camera phone.  Maybe I could later....

 

I think I have finished buying for Christmas.  I have to count to see how many "little" gifts I have for Maggie.  I put a stocking on her door handle and each morning she gets up to find a small stocking gift from me.  For example, yesterday was soap and it looked like a duck.  She loves animals and loves to play in the bathtub so I figured she would love the duck soap.  This morning I put a pair of socks in the stocking.  They have the words Hugs and Kisses and XOXO stitched on them.  I think she will love them.  Anyway, I am going to be putting a little something in each morning until the 25Th.  I may have to throw in a pack of gum or something if I don't have enough little goodies to put in.  I hope when she is grown, she will remember these little things I did for her.  I remember the little things when I was little and this is what is carried with you for a lifetime.

 

Hope everyone is having a better morning than what I had today!

Sunglasses

I need to find a new pair of sunglasses. Help me? Go here
and help me! I need nose piece too. Remember...I am a conservative person with a large face! This place has larger sunglasses to choose from.

Breakfast

A couple weeks ago I stopped at Chick-fil-A and the owner came in and went "ARGH!!  That is my favorite place!  I would eat there 5 out of the 7 nights if I there was one close to me...how could you bring that in this office because I LOVE IT?  I love sweet tea!!"  On and on he went! 

 

Well, this morning I stopped by Chick-fil-A and bought him a large sweet tea and some chick-n-mini's. 

 

Also, owner's brother almost went nuts that I didn't bring him in any....He kept pretending to pick up the tea.  He also sat at my desk and picked up the sack twice.  I told him the story about me bringing it in a few weeks ago and so what did he do?  He said exactly the same thing right back to me!  Just like a parrot. 

 

Oh boy.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

DON'T I WISH!  I am still at work!  Just finished eating my peanut butter sandwich (and it was pretty darn good) and I am SO TIRED!  I would love to lay down for just a bit...it just isn't going to happen...now, if I were at home...that would be another story!

 

My mouth and tongue are going through some tough times the last couple days.  I ate something rough and the top of my mouth is sore.  I also burnt the heck out of my tongue (I can actually see the difference in colors)!  I couldn't remember what it was I burnt my tongue on until today I decided I wanted some hot chocolate....oh yes, HOT BOILING HOT BURN my tongue chocolate.  That reminded me and I decided against it.

 

Instead, I think I will try a nap....`

All I Want

is to go back to BED!

 

I am very tired this afternoon.  The sun is shinning in my office and looks warm and inviting...we all know this can't be true...never less, I want to take my blue blanket, which my friend Laurie gave me last year and lay down on the floor with it and take a quick nap!  Unfortunately, my work will not be done if I surrendered to this thought!

 

Hope everyone got where they needed to go today after all the snow we got last night!  It took me 35 extra minutes to get to work.  Speaking of snow, I don't know why it is, it seems anytime I do something extra to my hair, it is a day, which the snow and rain will destroy or the wind will blow it down.  I hope one day I can actually have my hair look half way decent and make it out the door to my destination before it looks like a rats nest! 

 

I guess we all have our dreams.

Feel Better Now?

No...not really.  I went out for my lunch to get some air and cried.  I read just because I don't know what path I am on or think maybe the path I am on is wrong, I am not supposed to judge it.  I am supposed to know I am headed exactly where I am supposed to be going.  This means even if I am encounter detours, hairpin turns or passing cars with noses and whatnot pressed to the windows I am to know, I am headed in the right direction and I am supposed to be getting closer to what I am supposed to be doing every flippin' day.

 

Road trip?  I don't want to take any more road trips!

 

I want to park the car and enjoy the scenic view.

Depressing

I just figured up commission for the techs.  2 of them are going to be devastated again with the little amount they are bringing home, especially since the work so many hours a week.

 

I figured up how much the company would have to bring in each month in order for me to get the amount of money, which I the ad stated....$83,000.00 a month.  That is just to get me in the middle of the amount of which I was told I would be paid.  I get a salary plus commission.  The ad I answered said I would be paid between $32-36K a year.  In order to get in between this amount, the company would have to bring in $83,000.00 a month.  A "good" estimate as to what the company is bringing in....$30,000.00 a month.    That is a long way from the $$....

Freezing

If I think it is cold, then it is COLD!

 

The dial in the office reads 70 degrees.  I have a shaw on my shoulders and a blanket on my lap.  I have boots with insulation but my toes are frozen!  If I think it is cold, then it is COLD because I like it cool.

Not So Quick On The Punch Lines

One of the techs brought in pictures of his kids.  The owner was at my desk and said, "Are these pictures of your niece and nephews"? 

 

I said, "No..............my niece is much cuter than that!"

 

"What"?  he said....

 

My response..."It just isn't funny if I have to explain my joke more than once...."

His Grace Without Humor

Whenever the techs start their trucks, which has to be done in the warehouse, the office gets fumed out.  Normally we have to open the front door for a few minutes to air the office out.  Today I said, "Oh my God!" and the owner said "What?" So I joked and said, "So you answer to the name of God now?"....he didn't get it.  I had to say it twice then tell him it was a joke...at that point, it wasn't funny.....

 

I thought God was supposed to have a sense of humor!

 

HA.HA....See, that was a joke too...playing off of the owner being God.

Awesome!

Today is FRIDAY!  Tonight I have a GNO with my Maggie girl and I am excited!  Mommy and Daddy are going to Mommy's work party.  We will stay in and play games and watch some TV but it will, never less, be fun!  I love spending one-on-one time with her! 

 

Tomorrow I am going to work in Shelbyville.  Some good friends need help with the accounting/books for their business so I will be spending the day in the country.  It is so nice to be in the country sometimes.  So peaceful and quiet....

 

I got 2 more gifts completed!  My dad and Steph's brother Daniel is done!  I need to recheck my list to see who is left!

 

BTW, when are we doing our homemade gift exchange Judy, Steph and Steph?  Should we plan another GNO (but make it GNI) and get a movie and dinner at our house?  Judy, why don't you take charge and spear this project together?  tee hee!!

Frustrated!!!!!

Can you believe I am STILL working on the books for work?  I did get the checking account updated but when I was told there was a credit card account, which has never been reconciled I thought I might be sick.  It is in a worse mess than the checking account.  I am gotten through January - May but June is driving to want to drink and I am NOT a drinker!  I get so frustrated that I have to work on it for 3 hours or more than put it away for the day.  To think I HAVE to have June - December done by the first of the year is making me CRAZY...one day at a time I know...but frustrating never less!

I am afraid I am having issues again with my throat!!  It seems I am going up and down with my speech patterns and have a scratchy voice again.  It makes me wonder if I have another growth growing...NONOSAYITISN'TSO!

Check this out! OUCH!

Many products (including toothpaste) coming out of China are now being recalled due to unsafe materials to make products and keep the budget at a low cost. Lead is MIXED in the paint for toys and here is what happened when a customer bought a pair of flip flops from wal-mart, these were CHEMICAL BURNS.

I checked the story out on snopes.com...it is TRUE!

Those Boys

I was told by one of our techs today that he had a job interview. When this guy leaves, I will be sad. He is the easiest tech to work with. I could have him drive to the east side of Indy, to the moon and then back to the office on the north side and he wouldn't say two negative words about it. He just does his job. I do wish him the best but wish he wasn't leaving. I also wish those guys didn't tell me such delicate information. I would never run and tell secrets but if I am asked, I would have to tell because of my position in the company. It is a fine line to walk....

Today was pretty good. I found an old friend I used to work with when we used to work at "corporate America". We instant message each other today. It was great hearing from her!

Be Safe!

This was sent to my mom from my dad's sister:

Since it didn’t even make the news, and Angi works with the Lady, I wanted to warn everyone that may frequent the Wal-Mart on Pendleton Pike that on Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving Day, this lady was leaving the store, and it was 7:00 p.m. and raining, and someone kicked her extremely hard in the small of her back and took her purse and the items she had purchased in the store….What a nice Thanksgiving gift….

Please share this with anyone that you think may need to know…..
Be Safe….

Gift List

Moving towards the end of my list for the holidays.

I got the Wii for Paul, Steph and Mags. I got a few extra's for Maggie. I still need to find stocking stuffers for Paul and Steph. I have gotten my mom her gift but haven't found anything for dad. I got something for Steph's mom but nothing for her brother Daniel. All the guys at work are getting food (soup and candy). I still have to make the candy. I have something little for my massage therapist. I have something for my friend Becky. I have something for Luci. I have something for Laurie but may pick something else little up for her. My 3 home made gifts for my 3 girl friends are made.

Who am I forgetting?

Oh yes, myself! I need to buy for myself! I love Christmas because things are plentifully and costs are down. I love to buy one for you and one for me. HAHA!

How are you doing on your list?

Missing

Last night when I came home from work, Maggie yelled "HI AUNTIE" when I came in the door. Afterwards she said, "I knew it was you coming in because you were the only one missing."

I thought this was very cute! Mommy and Daddy were both home so since I was not home, it had to be me coming in.

I didn't know

Hey check this out and tell me if it is true or not!

One would think I would have noticed the little secret on my dash, which has been staring at me for 24 years..but NO!

Quick question! What side of your car is your gas tank? If you are anything like me driving several different vehicles, you probably can't remember right away. I've stuck my head out the window to look, with no luck normally . . . especially on rental and borrowed cars.

If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump. The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the pump. If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left. If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo below). It's that simple!

Need I Say More?

Many blessing to everyone!

Who I Work With

There is an older guy at work who is SO NEGATIVE! He is really starting to bring me down. At first, I just listened to him because I didn't know. I didn't know it was his personality. I thought he was going through a tough time so I listened. Now, I know better.

One tech is leaving the company very soon....he told me just as soon as his lease is up, he is moving to Florida. That is where he came from and he can't wait to get back there. The cold weather is killing him. I like this tech because he NEVER complains. I could send him from one side of the city to the next and I wouldn't hear anything about it. He just does his job.

The last tech is very full of himself. He thinks he is beautiful. Well, ugly he is not but I would never look at him and think he was beautiful. Then there is what I would consider his speech impediment....I think he sounds like Elvis.

The last tech is actually the owner. He is a type A personality and is a brother to the tech above (the one with the big head). This guy is very smart but because of his type A style, he likes to micro manage. I can't stand that.

I got a call from an agency today. Looks like I may have a new lead.

Gift

The boys at work (well technically the owners) (both younger than I!!!) gave me and the 2 techs gift cards today for Thanksgiving. I thought it was very nice. I wonder if it has a direct relation to me. I give out things for holidays...for example I made home made cookies and passed them out yesterday and said, "Many Blessings To You" to each of the guys. I just have a feeling it helped.

Update of sorts

I went with a friend to a retreat last Saturday. Whatever you are thinking when you hear the words "spiritual retreat", I can assure you, it not anything like you are thinking. It is to hard to explain too. The facilitator is just amazing. She is an elderly lady and she is so wise and I just get so full of positive energy and life whenever I get to see and hear her talk. I wrote down a lot of stuff so that I can go back and re-read what she said. I think I may start seeing her privately. She is only in town about 2 times a year but I believe I could come leaps and bounds with what she has to teach me. It is pretty exciting.

Maggie and I made homemade cookies tonight. I totally went off my diet. There were 2, which fell apart so I ate them. Then later, I wanted to see if they were good cold and had another one. I don't plan on eating any more. I just wanted to see if they were good as it was recipe I made for the first time. I actually made them for the techs at work for Thanksgiving. I am having to put them in Christmas tins but knowing these guys, who ever gets home cooked anything, they will love them if I had put them into a paper sack.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Pretty Sick Today

I woke up with something bad this morning. It is a throat thing. I know I am not feeling my best but when you dream about being sick, you know you are sick. So I am just taking it easy today. Hope everyone is well and having a good day!

Crazy Stuff

After crying yesterday I thought it was best to look for another job. So I did get resumes out and also sent information to a temp agency.

Question of the moment is...do you think owner has a suspicions? He bought me flowers today. I was very confused. This isn't the kind of man who buys flowers...at least I didn't think he was....anyway, why does this kind of thing happen?

Ho Ho Ho is now Ha Ha Ha

Do you hear about the Santa’s in Australia not being able to use the traditional greeting “ho ho ho” because it may be offensive to women? One Santa said he wasn’t supposed to use the greeting because it was too close to the US slang for prostitute and could frighten children.

I wonder if there has been a study to prove if you are near Santa and he is saying, “ho ho ho” then that person then believes they are actually a ho ho ho and becomes a hooker later in life? Could this be the reasoning behind the craziness?

An Old Saying: If you have a problem and and the problem had something to do with money, then you really don't have a problem.

Today I was talking to number 2 in charge at work. He is very young. Let's just say he was born long AFTER I graduated from high school!) I call him a "punk kid" who has much to learn..of course to myself I say this and to my friends but never to anyone at work. Anyway, back to the subject, he was going on and on about money and so I told him I was going to give my job until the first of the year and then if I didn't get what I deserved to make, I would be leaving. I don't know if it sunk in with him but he did say for me to talk to number 1 in charge. I am supposed to be getting a percentage of sales dollars after I am trained. I can't get trained and still have much to learn but it is hard to be trained when number 1 is always off hunting and fishing. I am NOT kidding. He was out 3 days last week and this week 4 and 1/2 days. This has been going on since the 2nd week I started. He hasn't worked a FULL WEEK since the 2nd full week I started!! He is basically the only one to train me because all the others are working in the field. My point is he MUST feel confident with me doing what I am doing by myself in the office otherwise he shouldn't be leaving me to take care of business and if this is the case, he needs to PAY ME MORE MONEY!!!!

I have been selling things on Ebay to make ends meet. It stinks to be me....but hey, you know that old saying....
