Changing the GiRL . . .

All the crap that was wrong yesterday and the days before is still wrong, but I’m tired of being crabby so I’m giving the virtual “finger” to my unhappiness and moving on. After all you really can’t always get what you want.

I’ve been applying for a ton of jobs online, and in the classifieds, and I’m registered with 3 agencies. I still haven’t found a job. My dear husband, who always says the wrong thing at the wrong time, bless his heart, pointed out that it obviously isn’t working so I should try something new. “Oh really?” I thought, “and what do you suggest Mr. employment Guru?” He’s made it clear that he wants me to stop looking for that “great job” in my field, and get some job, any job.

So, today, I decided to give the free classifieds a try. I found a job ad for a receptionist, part-time for a used car dealership - one of those where you come by in person to fill out an application. So I took my resume and met with the manager, who seemed interested. I opened with “please don’t tell me I’m over-qualified, because seriously it’s to your benefit.” I then went on to explain that i  wnat a part time job. He gave me the impression that he was going to hire me just as soon as he gets the okay (they are opening a new store apparently). When he asked what my salary requirement were I just alaughed and said “Whatever, all my husband said was get a job.” He seemed to get a big kick out of that. . . .

Okay and the temp lady just called me and said she has a job for me but i have to get there by 1pm . . . fundraising .. Ick! but whatever . . here i come  . . . .
