New Job

So yes I have been gone for a couple of days. This new job has taking some getting use to. I hadn't before this week worked in almost 5 months ,so there was no getting up early or having really any structure to my day for a long time. it has been typical training,lots of computer stuff and trying to get up to open up to one another. One thing about big companies you have so many 'big " people to meet. A lot of people I am learning have been with the company for many many years. Which is a good thing because in these times of a recession it is nice to know that you actually have a job with some stability. i love my work hours and the drive isn't bad at all. No traffic yes!. But is it definitely not my last stop. I am impatient when it comes to work and well for the first time I am at a job that I am not going to be able to just jump into a higher position quickly.
It is going to take some getting use to.I want to be a HR trainer and I am going to be a HR trainer. I do like my training class. They are a laid back group. And I saw my first "stud" today. Fems you have to kind of fish out especially when you work somewhere that everyone dresses up at. Of course the stud had on a button up like me(from the men's section of Express). We kind of gave each other the"yea that's wassup) look. So it was cool. I need to lose weight and quick. I have got to step the wardrobe up or at least be able to get into some of my old clothes. We will see if i can make that happen by the end of the month. But I am back blogging now. I think I am in the swing of things. I'll be catching everybody up on everything! Now it is time to eat I am starving!!!

Finally

I finally got a job!! After months and months of searching. I never thought with two degrees it would be this hard to find work. Even with the economy being bad. I know this is not the job I saw myself getting but it is a check and I am welcoming it with open arms.I am so tired of being broke lol. Anyway it will also give me a chance to meet some new people. I have been mingling and mixing the last couple of months but not like how you can with a job.

Plus it is in a call center. Which means lesbians galore. I don't know sometimes I feel like they have a sign up out front that says "please all gay people work here". But I guess I can understand why so many gay people work in these environments The customers you work with you never have to see,you can pretty much wear whatever you want as long as to much body isn't showing . And education is not a major thing to consider. You can have anything from a high school diploma to a master's degree and get hired. Anyway during my interviews I saw that I already knew quite a few people working there ,which is always good but I also some some women I would love to get to know lol. Maybe some of them will work in my department. I had luck at my last call center job and met some really nice women who I am still friends with,so hopefully this job will allow the same.

After everything I have been thru with relationships and women you would think I would hold my horses but there is nothing wrong with new friends. I am not jumping into bed with anyone but I need to use this unlimited text plan that I have a little more then I do. And now it will be way cheaper for me to have it lol.I am still on the hunt for a better job. Although I would like to stay with this company for awhile and hopefully move up. But we will see what happens.

The Secret Life of the Unemployed


Well welcome to my world. The unemployed. I exercise at night because everyone else is in the bed. So therefore I get the run of the place,me and the 5 other people in there lol. No waiting on machines or weights or anything. Go in be comfortable get my work out on and head to the grocery store. Where yet again there are about 4 people there lol.
You get the fresh veggies cus they just put them out. You have your pick of the boxes no one has touched because they just stocked the shelves and besides the late night workers no one is in your way saying excuse me every 5 seconds(if you are lucky enough to get someone to say it). The downfall, is well.... you get tired of sending out resume after resume after resume with no interview in sight. The bills pile up unless your job gave you a great 'Have a nice day" parting gift. You don't sleep. Simply because you are on the Internet either blogging(like me) or finding new and interesting things that you never noticed when you were at your job doing nothing. (wish you could do that again huh). Do I miss work,not really. Do I miss the money definitely. But you can't have one without the other right? So I continue on,sending resumes writing more and more cover letters in hopes of getting that one or two or hell I have a Master's degree over 5 phone calls. But yet I am starting off the week with more phone silence. (I did pay my bill right?). Well another night of staying up watching what I could have watched during the day. So that's how people who work at night keep up... Later days!!!(I mean nights lol)

Don't put all your apples in one barrel....

Ok I am at a crossroads in my life right now. This summer could pretty much be the end of my college career ,master's in hand(yyyyyeeeeeaaaa me!) But in the midst of all that I could lose my job to gain this master's. Basically my school only has certain classes at certain times. So basically it's either take these classes this summer or wait until 08 and take them next summer and not graduate until then. I work a 40 a week job and they are not taking to likely to My school schedule. Now school would only be for a month so I will have enough money to live comfortably if i had to quit ,and it would give me a whole month to find another job. But it is hard enough trying to get a job without also trying to do it and graduate at the same time. So basically it is either the job or my education. Of course my grandma and dad said to keep the job. Because basically they aren't going to help me financially. But then my heart and head tell me to walk out right now and say see ya!!!!! I honestly think I am about to hit career builder and the rest of the Internet and newspaper world hard and find a new job. I am sure there is a job out there that will allow me to start after graduation.....I just got to take my time and find it......
