Resume critique

Had a resume critique done on a jobsite that was most unhelpful. Let's see: I'm too old to be hired and too passive employee. What's next, being told I'm unemployable cuz I was let go when the company was sold.

OK, how do you say I work low paying, dead end jobs cuz nobody will pay me to do anything else in a proactive way.

Maybe a I need 2 resumes. One as a cheat sheat when I fill out apps and one to show employers. Though most employers don't see my resume cuz they ask to fill out an app.

Surreal day

Went to the gym where I won a free 2 week trial membership. Ran into an aquaintance from past job and chatted for a while. No new employees at my old job yet. My old manager has been seen working my shift sometimes. Poor manager.

Then hours after I applied for a job online I get a call for an interview. Hop it to the mall looking my best and my pantyhose starts falling down half way down my butt. Hope I did well in the interview despite my distraction. So stop at a store to buy more and end up buying a new purse with matching wallet while looking at assessories. I'm bad, bad bad. Find pantyhose and move on my way.

Now I'm home with kitties watching Pretty in Pink.

So close

Had a job interview at a department store. Had a lovely conversation though explaining why I was let go was tough. Finally lady explains the managers pick their people and possibly do a 2nd interview. Go home and hours later I check my email to see HR person sent me a mesage that I will not be offered a job. The time of the email was right after I left. Is there something wrong with being dependable, help out coworkers, work hours and days nobody else will, and can sell anything? How stupid of me to think the interview went well.

Still applying for jobs

Still applying at retail stores and malls. I thought of joining an amusement park as ride operator or doing games, but my knee couldn't take it. I'm so bored sitting at home alone with only cats to talk to. Everybody I know works and spends time with their families.

Happy St Patrick's Day Everybody. I got shamrock on and drinking a shamrock shake at McD's.

Weird message

I get a weird message stating UPS could not deliver a package because the address was wrong. I go into the attachment to see who the undeliverable package was for to get a pop up that the attachment has a virus and unsafe to open. I exit and delete immediately. Aren't these security programs suppose to stop viruses from landing in your junk email box? Apparently not.

Quite a week

Well my miserable life is still miserable. Let's see: I signed up for unemployment and still not in their system when I make my required weekly call, My wrist is hurting from filling out online apps and taking stupid personality tests, and then Had a big fight with my Mom and then my sister how stupid I am to wanting to apply for graduate school cuz I will never get a job cuz I am just so stupid trying to improve my life. I worked retail store and car rental jobs since I graduated college the first time so nobody is ever going to hire me to do anything else. So okay I tell them I won't apply to grad school if that makes them happy. Now they completely change personalities like Dr . Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and so sweetly tell me they want me to try, they just can't handle me failing and wasting money. Excuse me, whose life is this and who is living it? This is exactly why I wanted to tell people about grad school after I was accepted, but it slipped out when crying over losing my job. Then my sister tells me to take a carer test to decide a more appropriate vocation. I took a dozen of those in college and one in high school. I'm sorry that things I am good at don't pay well. Better finish my letter of intent and start my writing sample proving my analytical abilities for my grad school app.

Niece visit

Niece is sleeping in the guest daybed with 3 pillows, 5 stuffed animals, and just enough room for my Precious. We had a ball playing with toys and watching movies. She likes this battery operated kitten and I commented when P came for attention that P can not be turned off or runs on batteries, he runs on food. Niece is getting to figure Barbie clothes out, sometimes I tell her she has them upside down as to why she is having trouble. Had her favorite Mac & Cheese for dinner and ice cream for dessert. We read stories and kissed her good night. Tomorrow I take her home.

High adventure

I came home from sister's house to have something swoop by my head. I thought it was a bird, but no, it was a bat. It flew in circles between the kitchen and living room. Frodo jumped on the table to try and catch it. I grabbed a blanket to grab it when it landed. It never landed. Then it started to wobble in the air and crash into the ceiling. I waved my blanket to keep it in the living room with my balcony door wide open. Finally it flew outside and disappeared into the night. No injuries.

Joined the unemployment line

I went in early today with my social security card and driver's license to wait for my turn to be offered a job with the corporate takeover. Everyone before me was offered a job. One quit cuz it was a step backwards, worse case he can work for his dad. One is iffy so he'll probably quit first chance he gets. The bossman came by with our paychecks this week. In 2 weeks we get paid for yesterday and today with unused vacation/sick time. So I went in and was offered nothing. They want to go in another direction for closing whatever that means (I close cuz nobody else will). I cried in front of my coworkers and boss, 3 gave me a hug. I am in middle of applying for graduate school. I thought I better before the boss leaves to get a letter of recommendation. I can work tonight cuz bossman will pay me for tonight. I need the money. At least I can say good-bye to everybody.
