I think it’s time. Since my last post, I’ve kept on thinking that. Why not? What have I got to lose? Life is too short, right? Finding a real job that involves me leaving the house on a daily basis is not going anywhere. And I feel like I have to try this. I’m going … More because reasons
Two days ago, I thought how amusing that I had stopped looking for retail jobs. I’d deleted all retail job related book marks, deleted all retail job related things on the spreadsheet I use to keep track of things. I’d been playing phone and email tag with two retailish recruiters and wanted to see if … More stop wasting my time
I think I’m reaching a point where I have to realize that staying in retail isn’t going to happen. Or maybe I’m not giving it enough time. I knew I’d be in this full time job hunt for the long haul, but when I have someone who is helping us out financially breathing down my back, … More dirty day
So I tweeted the hell out of that company that asked my age on a job assessment test. And I had friends who re tweeted my tweets. Probably not the most professional thing to do but fuck me. You do not ask for age on anything job related. You. Just. Don’t. Said company contacted me … More this and that
I’m starting to see more and more job app sights ask for a ball park figure for my age. What in high holy hell? Age discrimination much? Why not just fucking ask me for my birth year outright? Naturally it’s one of those questions with the little star next to it, meaning I have to … More the age thing
I’m off today and while it’s gorgeous out, I knew I needed to spend a few hours on the computer job hunting, updating my job thingy spreadsheet and well, the usual figuring out what the hell is going on. You know, same shit, different day. I’ve got U2 cranked in my ear because other than … More the pit of my stomach
Here’s an age old question. How am I supposed to apply for what is basically an entry level job in a (slightly) different industry when I have no experience and they want years of it? I’m sure said job description was written by someone who really has no fucking clue what the job actually entails, … More spinning
Sometimes I have to remember to get out there and see other people in the world. I become so obsessed with LOOKING FOR A JOB NOW NOW NOW, and get so caught up in doing nothing but job hunting on my days off that I forget there are friends and possible networking opportunities that I … More on being social
I’m still taking daily pictures of the lake. My grand idea of doing a book has kinda fallen to the wayside. I’ve gone through all the pictures from last year and have at least narrowed it down to my personal favorites, 2 or 3 per week. I just need to get my act together and … More that hobby thing
Today’s task in the writing 101 thingy is to share with y’all where I write. While my phone has it’s many uses, blogging and a few other things are really best done on the laptop. I share a laptop with my husband. It lives on a desk in our bedroom. Most of the time when … More where i write my soul
