"New Changes As July Comes to An End"

For the last several months, I have been actively trying my best to change career paths and get out of being a professional "care-giver" and to my own astonishment, my goal has finally taken root. ☺ YAY!!! Starting in mid-August, I will be back in an office setting where I seem to be at my best. I am very excited and hope that I get to stay till it is time for me to retire!!!! It's a good job and allows me to do what I think is my "business forte" that being, providing customer service for our clients.

As many know, looking for a job in this day and age is no easy task. With our economy being what it is, "mister employer" is more selective than he has been in the past. In the last six months, I must have sent more than one thousand resumes out and at most, landed ten interviews? Of those ten interviews, perhaps, three of the interviews made any sense to the position that was being offered. I don't mean to offend any employer out there but where in the hell did you get your questions? I can understand some questions about "what if you had to fire someone....how would you go about it?....or "what if you saw someone stealing...would you report them and why??? but get real when you ask questions that are "so off the beaten path" that leaves the interviewiee with a "duh"....which I am sure I gave that answer or the look!! A word to those of you who are lucky enough to land an interview....go to google and read up on "interview questions"...you will laugh at some of them but I dare you NOT to dismiss them as they will be the questions they want to ask and want answers. Enough about that!

With a new job approaching, I started apartment hunting and this is a nightmare for TJ. Yes, I would rather get one that is small for just me but the prices are overwhelming me, so I'm looking at other alternatives. For the first year on the new job, I want to live close as TJ don't want to be late nor does TJ want to drive in the snow. Yeah, I know with "global warming" that even Philly's snow is no big deal to most...but TJ don't like how the other drivers ...drive in the snow. TJ drives slow in the snow and heavy rains....those other drivers....drive like they have a plane to catch or that their car's are racing cars and have to go maximu speed at all times. Tj tends to flip the bird a lot!!! ☺☺☺

Twitter has been lots of fun for me. I have met new twitters and laugh alot more this year than last. This is good! I tend to rant in the room about losing followers all the time but it's just in jest as I have way more than I know how to handle. Don't get me wrong, I like my followers but it's hard to say hello to each of them and isn't that what we are suppose to do? So, if, you are following me...give me a shout and let's exchange more chats.
