I had an interview this morning that went very well! It’s for a Human Resource Management position at a company in Eagle Rock! I really really want this job! I love Human Resources; and, this office is very busy, so I won’t be bored – ever! I much prefer a busy, bustling office with lots …

For the Greater Good
I’m not sure what to think about the federal bail-outs of wall-street failures. We have a free-market economy; yet, the government is stepping in to rescue companies for the greater good of the American people. Ok, I can accept that; but, there are two things bothering me about this… 1. The companies who are falling …

Who Will Go With Me?
So, I got a free pass to Disneyland for my birthday in 2009. I don’t know anyone born on July 30th. I wonder who will go with me? I’d have to go after work, but that’s ok. Summer hours are late! Maybe Lisa Kudrow or the Governator will go with me. Ha! If you are …

Exhausted & Depressed
It’s been over a week of job hunting, and I haven’t even been called for an interview. It’s really hard for me to figure out what to do next. I’m really low on funds, but I really don’t want to ruin my career by taking another non-Project Manager position. I’ve been told many times how …

Unemployment – Day 4
I’m in Pioneertown, and for a few days, I will not think about being jobless. I will be hanging out with awesome people, listening to amazing music, and having some strong drinks! So far, awesome! I have reconnected with friends, Missy & I checked into our room, and we have dinner plans shortly. See you …

Unemployment – Day 3
I got up when John was about to leave for work, then got a shower. After breakfast, I started job hunting. I sent a few resumes out – again, nothing great. In the late morning, I took an online Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook exam for a staffing agency. I think I did great on …

Unemployment – Day 2
So, after searching for hours, I have come up with nothing. There are no jobs that I could do that I qualify for and would also pay my bills. I really want to advance my career to a point where when I apply for jobs that say 8 years in Project Management or Operations Management, …

Unemployment – Day 1
Woke up just after John left for work, got a shower, ate breakfast, started job hunting. I called an old recruiter and talked to her for a long time. I got a few other recruiters and set up appointments for reactivation (for tomorrow morning). I looked on the job sites all day for Project Manager, …

This Economy Sucks, McCain!
Once again, I’ve been laid off. This is twice in one year. Jobs are tight, people aren’t spending as much money on Disney toys or concert tickets these days. I know I’m a smart, talented, loyal project manager; but, I am subject to the repercussions of economic failure – same as everyone else! Zigabid has …

Wish Distress Would Hurry Up and Become Destress
As I sat in the lounge watching CNN at lunch, I felt a sense of overwhelming anxiety build up in me. 1. a hurricane is heading towards Florida. Many of my friends and family live there. There are wildlife preserves and zoos there. My hometown is there. The Everglades is there. Lots of great things …

It Really Hurts
One thing that bothers me almost more than any other is the abuse and murder of animals. As you know, I am a vegetarian. I understand that people in some areas must hunt for food to eat. I am okay with that to some degree. I believe that if you do hunt an animal for …

Uh Oh!
1. I think I’m addicted to commenting on the Cafferty File, which gets me all fired up and angry about things! 2. Even more troubling, a 4,500 yr old ice shelf broke off in the Arctic in Northern Canada! This is NOT good! 🙁

Lieberman & PUMA
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/03/rnc.democrat.reaction/index.html is a good article from CNN that focuses on the inaccuracies of Lieberman’s speech. I was very disappointed. This man ran with Gore! How could he support the ideals of Democracy, but throw his vote, words and supporters behind McCain/Palin? They stand for everything he ran against in 2000! Makes me really sad to …

A Weekend of No Labor
It’s nice to have 3-day weekends once in a while. In fact, I’d like one every weekend; but, that’s not the world I live in. At the start of the weekend, I wasn’t feeling to great… a slight sore throat. Took it easy and rested a bit. I slept in on Saturday morning too. John …
