A couple of weeks ago I had an idea. I may have mentioned that my husband and a couple of friends had suggested that I start fibbing on my resume about having a degree. Reasons being that said degree wasn’t a specialized one (Really had I honestly graduated, the diploma would have said General Studies/Concentration … More experimentation fail
“I’m not afraid of anything in this world There’s nothing you can throw at me That I haven’t already heard I’m just trying to find a decent melody A song that I can sing in my own company” As always my boys have a song that pretty much sums up my life at any given … More the stuck in a moment thing
So I think that getting a paralegal associate’s degree is the way to go. No, it’s not what I reallyreallyreally want to do. Yes, it’s really more of a consolation prize. But. Entry level salary for such jobs in the Chicago land area start at 40k. I’ve never made that much before. The closest I … More plan b….?
I’m thinking that Plan B is to go back to school. At one point, before I got the ‘buy a franchise’ thing up my ass, was to get an associate’s degree via online from the city’s community college system. They offer what seems to be basically a business management degree. Or I could just get … More plans
JFC, I did not want this to become a place to be a whiney bitch. I have a job, I have a husband who worships me, a cat who hogs the bed and a roof over my head. We are relatively debt free (a little credit card debt, but very manageable ). I am just … More so what now?
Watching last night’s DNC speeches last night left me moved, in tears and so fired UP. I am totally with HRC. Because we cannot afford to have that….thing in the WH. So many others have expressed what I am feeling so use that thing called google. Have been researching franchises, reaching out to people who … More this and that
So I emailed my mom and step dad for the money to buy a small home based franchise. I told them I didn’t need an answer until I’m down there in September. I just laid it all out, pros, cons, what I want to do, the research that I’ve done and am still doing, etc, … More mojo wanted
The cafe job goes full time tomorrow. While I’m glad I don’t have to depend on my mom to help us out anymore (and thereby she can get out of sticking her nose in my business), in a way, I feel this is a last resort. Like I’m not good enough for anything else. In … More in the gut
Lots going on in my corner of the world. Job #1 is going to an auto scheduling thing. Meaning a computer will be doing the schedules for the entire company. Ha. Been there done that a couple of jobs ago. Total fuckup because a computer cannot judge the fact that life happens. Job #1 wanted … More i can’t believe the news today
Let me start off by saying my husband and my mother really don’t see eye to eye. My mom will go to her grave before admitting that I ‘married down’ and she doesn’t approve. But they both had the idea of me looking into the local community colleges or trade schools. As in to take … More school daze redux?
