Just Pass Me By

Today I spent most of the day looking and applying for jobs with corps. Some of them I decided it was to much work to apply on line, and to much of my info could potentially be gotten so those I will probably just go to and hand my resume to one of the managers there.
I just got done with a assesement test, which I passed so maybe they will call me and be able to work with me for first shift and no Saturday work if I can get that it would be great, and hopefully part time work too.. I am so tired of looking for a job, and knowning a lot of people are being laid off, even hospitals are laying off now that’s a scary thought. Hopefully nothing will happen that will require staff to be full functioning at the hospitals.
I have been doing horrible at interviewing so hopefully the next interviews I do will be a lot better, I seem to be better over the phone and not face to face. I am going to have to figure out how to improve my self confindence when interviewing. I can’t believe it’s already 2pm, I been on this computer all day, since I got up at 9am. I think I going to have to take a break and start thinking about homework. I know working at night would be a bad decision because I have evening classes and it makes it hard, but one place i applyed at only open till 11pm and if i need to then i might just take a later shift for a few hrs.

On Monday my husband and I went with dad to the lawyer, we needed to sign the papers for the Power of Attorney. My husband and I are both his dad power of attorney. When we got there and started driving down, dad asked if we was sure we wanted to do this, I told him Yes someone needs to protect you. Right now it’s more of protecting him form hisself, I personally could shoot him right now. He wrote out a bunch of checks for money he didn’t have. There was a couple of checks messing but no dublicates wrote, that worried me because where are they and who has them.
Dad been writing checks but not keeping account of everything, so at both banks we spent an hour or better, at his main bank, we ended up having to close his account and start a new joint account. Dad will not get any checks, because if he writes them it going to mess hubby and I up seriously, and sorry I have enough to deal with then letting him write checks when he don’t know what’s there. Dad last week told us he wanted us to give him a allaunce for spending each month and asked for what he wanted I am wondering if that will be enough for him each month. Grant it we will pay all his bills, and I will be looking at consolidating his date for him so it all coming from on place. We also need to make sure he protect from other people becuase I feel that some of the activity on the account is from pressure and fear of saying no to someone who was with him.
When we lift I told him I would call the cable company and the pension place for his company. I got no where by 2pm so I told dad he have to go there and change the information. Dad friend took him and started talking about going to the bank, this worried me because I do not trust this person. He’s already claimed to be dad, so tomorrow I might have to call the bank and make sure they do not have the routing number or account number, I do not want nothing going through this account until I see his deposits there and now things are safely in as far as deposits since we closed the account so quickly.
Yesterday I spent a good portion of the day, and talked to the banker becuase we was worried about something going through it went through. I was glad the teller/banker decided the just start over appoarch was better, now I can protect dad. What I do not understand is how come Mediacom is charging his account and they aren’t even in the town he was living, and I don’t think they are where he is at now. I am supposed to be looking for a job but the last 3 days have pretty much been a wash, at least I got homework done but that as easy as finding Anoretix.
I will say being a power of attorney is proving to be a lot of work, but once things get settled it will be fine. My husband and I are doing this because his sister can’t handle the stress, and she wouldn’t follow through with dad wishes. The important thing is knowing what their wishers are when they are in their right mind. Speaking of that I have to start looking for some housing for dad that more geared toward senior living.

This weekend was long, but good. Friday night we had service and got home stayed up a little to late for getting up early on Saturday.Then Saturday we had a friend over for dinner, that went until 2am. Towards the end of that, I found out I would be working on Sunday to help him out. I am glad, I was able to help him out. Have to admit today I am tired! I had a interview this morning, and for some reason I just am not doing interviews very well. It’s strange I feel like my brain becomes a bubble.
Yesterday was fun and very interesting to say the least, I got to know our friend a little bite better. You know I would have never guessed what he did for a career, he don’t act like the typical type would. He one of the nicest guys I have met and worked with, grant it it was only a day of work with him, but you really learn about a person when you watch them dealing with people.
Yesterday we did the expo over in the city, I have never worked a expo before, neither did he. Now I can’t spell to save my life, I can spell if I have a Computer, but not if I am just writing things down. Now some of the things I had to spell where more of a medical terms, so I told him I am spelling it how I hear it, so it spelled wrong…. Hopefully he hearing the same way as I am, because it wouldn’t be good if he didn’t. We dealt with quiet a few people yesterday. There was a lot of standing, I learned that Ligaments and tendons even when they are not hurting with a normal amount of walking and standing for me, when it increase a lot it starts hurting. I know the my ankle started bugging me because I have only been out of my brace for 2 weeks or so. Never break an ankle, they take forever, it’s not the bones that are still healing.
I have to say I really enjoyed working the expo, because it was a good experience and I had a lot of positive feedback. Plus it got me out of the house and earning a little bit of cash. I have to admit I forgot about eating lunch, because I simply didn’t want to leave him to long and take the chance he be over ran with to many people to help. My technique to keep people there was talk to them until he got down with his consultation. I found it not exactly easy to strike up a conversation. I am not one that normally walks up to strangers I’ve never seen and start talking to them. But overall I think we got more people then we would have had I not struck up conversation with them.
My interview today went bad, or at least I felt it did. I should know in a week if I will get the job, not going to hold my breath but I am going to be hopeful, because it would be a job which would allow me to work with people. It’s for a PCA position, which would be great for what I want to do as far as being a counselor eventually. Hopefully I will graduate from my Bachelor degree and get into my master and then find a good company to work with. Being a PCA will have me working with people and helping them with their daily needs what ever that will be. Depending on each person what type of help they need, sometimes they need help cooking and cleaning and that’s simply sometimes they need help with the more intimate aspects of their daily grooming.

Today I decided I would go to the DMV. There was a line there, and I had to wait a little while okay no big deal I was expecting a wait there. While in the line I was debating if I would drive over to the voting place or just walk over after driving home. I decided it was such a beautiful day it be best to walk, anyways I need to lose weight and hey it’s a nice walk and no need to worry about parking.
Good thing the DMV had a ATM because I didn’t realize they don’t accept checks okay fine no big deal. On Thursday I will run to the bank on my way to school and cash my mom check for my B-day. Boy I am bad when it comes to getting checks. well, I renewed my tabs for the van.
I came home parked my van in the garage ran back upstairs and got my MP3 Player. Boy I loved my little insigna it works nicely.
My walk was very nice, it was supposed to rain today but I got my way and was able to walk where I wanted to walk. Wonderful, the ducks are still outside and swimming in the little pond. I never realized how many ponds there where around here. Within less then a mile there are three ponds it wouldn’t surprised me if it wasn’t more then a 1/2 mile. The ponds are fairly small but not to small I wonder if any are natural or manmade. It seems this might be some swamp land or something there are enough grass and plants growing there.
I made it to the voting place, it was a nice walk I got to see plent of ducks. It nice living so close to ponds because it makes walking fun when the ducks are out and about. When I finally reached my place, I was surprised there was no line in there. Almost all of the cubby holes where filled but 2 of them. It was nice not to have to wait in line and get my voting done.
I am glad it done, now here’s the question I have. We had to vote for close to 50 judges, how are we supposed to know how to vote when we don’t know they are running. I haven’t heard anything from any court judge people who are up for reelection or up for a change of pace. It would be great if they would start having them running for office and not have it be like a secret you find out one you get to your voting place.
I won’t say how I vote it’s no one business, I feel people have to vote the way they feel is right and I have no interest in trying to influence anyone.

Otis last night was funny. I wasn’t able to sleep, and figured if I kept reading my book it be over before I had a chance to get another book. Library books don’t work for me because I only have them for 2 weeks and for some reason the pressure of a time line cause me trouble.
Otis was a weak and doing his little play with me routine. So I took some time and played. Cats are so funny. I wonder why they like attacking string, or anything that moving. Maybe it the hunter in him. Otis last night did something he normally don’t do when we are playing. His little perch has a bottom tube, when we got it I wasn’t sure he fit through the thing because he a big kitty, and I think he actually put some weight on him in the last couple of week. He’s not fat but I will have to watch it. Otis was hidding in there and watching the string I had and then he come running out barely miss it run and hid behind the big bucket seat we have and attack again.
After he got bored he came to me just purring and as happy as could be. He let me sleep last night, so maybe I wore him out. This morning he woke me up with the meow of oh I gotta a hair ball. I had to jump over the coach to get to him in time for him not to puke in my hubby shoes. *laughing* Hubby lucky I wasn’t annoyed or mad at him because I might have just let otis and said Hubby can deal with clean it up because I don’t feel like moving.
Morning in the winter is very hard to get up, I wish I had a espresso machines, I love espressos but they are just so expensive.

I have been using Window Vista on my desk top for a while now. It took me a while to decide if I loved or hated Vista. I have to say I am getting sick of that commercial with Mac and Vista. It’s the one where the maker of Vista is sticking piles of money on marketing and repairing problems and the mac says that they’d need more more to fix Vista so the guy puts it all on marketing or something.
Okay let me start by saying this Vista took me a bit to get used to it, but it works well. I have the Home business addition. Personally I like it a lot. It’s not that much different from XP other then it’s newer and there are a few changes. My laptop is still a XP and I can use files from either computer and put them on flash drive and still read it by which ever computer I am on.
There are times I wonder if Mac is part taking in False advertising against microsoft which I think is low and crudy of them. I am not saying that I dislike Mac computers they are good to, but shoot they don’t exactly price them where a everyday Joe can get to their products. This is why I stick with computers who use Microsoft because I can afford the product, and the computer that comes along.
It seems like there are many new brands coming up in the computer type industry. I wonder if KVM has computer, might be good to look at if they do. I know I love my Toshiba for laptops and I think I will get another if I ever find a job could use an upgrade I have had this thing since going back to school. I will say it looks and feels like vista has fixed a lot of problems, I don’t have as large of update downloads as I used to.

Economics is almost done for me. Tomorrow will start quite week which means get yourself ready for the presentation. I love classes with no final exams, to be honest finals stress me out, and I tend to not do very well on them. There will be a final presentation which I prefer because those are easier.
So far every week I gotten all possible points. This is good. I have to finish my assignment before midnight tonight it’s a similulation on prefect competition, monopoly and extra. I think I aught to be just fine with it. I did it yesterday and took a couple of notes and then I will do it again to day and write up my paper. I have learned a lot in this class but honestly eventhough it was a lot easier then I thought it be, I wouldn’t want to be a economist.
I still don’t know where I stand on my credits, and I should have known by now I am going to wait until after I complete this class and get my final grade and then call my academic advisor. Find out why I don’t know where I am standing with them, because if I am still on schedule, I will be graduating within 8 classes now, and should have started looking seriously at graduate schools.
Taking classes like these will just help me increase what job descriptions I will be able to fulfill. I am glad I am doing well in school, and that I have learned most of my assignments and done it with understanding of what needed accomplish in each week.
What I do with school work is try to break it up into how many days of the week I have. So most of the time I will read most of my stuff and give myself a day or 2 to complete my personal assignment this helps because it allows me to like today redo the simulation and maybe do better at it. I hate simulations I always seem to do the opposite of what they want me to do, at least this class I am not doing the opposite of what they want but I not giving them what they want exactly.

I have been looking for a job for months, and I thought I finally found one until I talked to both the BBB and FTC. I decided to call them because the job I found wanted me to take money from their clients and pay their partners, this concerned me becuase I was unable to find any information on anyone.
When I did search for who owns this email I found no information. Hmm a little odd, I noticed it was to 5 different countries and that some of my question where not being answered. When I asked for an address and telephone number so I could check them out with the BBB, I was sent a email with a website. Well I got what appeared to be an address, but no telephone number and any more information I wanted I’d have to pay for it. Okay I didn’t call the FTC to report anything but to find out if any reports had been filed.
While talking to both companies they both said it a scam, but nothing been reported yet. I also found out from the BBB that for the most it’s illigal to send money to other foreign countries. I asked a few question and got more information. They told me not to take the job because probably what would happen is that I would cash the first check for a large amount of money and then be stuck footing the bill. Considering I haven’t gotten some of my question answered, I figuring there right because I would have information that I have asked for. I am starting to feel like I might never find a legitament job. I know Primerica has contacted me and wants me talents but I am wondering if I am even talented enough of a sales person to be able to educate and then sale their product to a customer. I haven’t never done well in selling things even if it something which sales itself. So I guess I wil have to figure out what to do now, because I can’t be unemployeed. I know I can call all of my temp companies. I am just looking for a part time job, which is flexible enough to not force me to work Friday night and Saturdays, but hey I will gladly work on Sunday.
When looking to start work with any work at home i suggest checking them out first with the BBB and FTC, because it keeps the consumer safe and well we need to be safe now days. I am glad I learned something form school.

I am totally lost on what day of the week it is and having my mom call me on a day she used to work has me really confused. I guess I had this same problem last week too, maybe I need a Manolo Blahnik on with the date and day on it would be great. I don’t wear watches at all because they break me out, I probably need to find my pocket watch, granny gave me a few years ago, it’s got mickey mouse on it. I know it probably somewhere in my office, but it would be nice to take it to a jeweller and have them fix the lock on it and put a new battery in it.
I sleep in very late today, was almost thinking hubby was coming out to tell me, we’d sleep through church. When I woke up, trust me we would have as late as I got up. I didn’t really wake up until 12:30ish. Normally I don’t sleep that late but my breathing and asthma been a little difficult so I am not sleep well at night.
It’s amazing how having a job tends to keep a person on track with the days of the week, at least I didn’t forget to complete my Learning team assignment. That would have been very bad and they probably wouldn’t be very forgiven about forgetting to get the only homework assignment done for the week. Next week my Learning team assignment is the same as this week, so I might just work on making my part better and more substantial information, and then personal assignment is a simulation. Goodness I hate simulations with a passion, I am a good student but I always seem to do the exact opposite of what the simulation is asking of me. I can deal with real life situation but not a simulation, I think that might be a problem.
I also manage to find some time for the game hubby had for me to help review and I ended up hating it. Why would they make a game for young teens or kids where the boss battles are impossible to beat. Oh well that’s another blog and another topic. I went back to my other game, I think I am about to conquere it and that one has been fun. Hubby hasn’t got his turn, to bad the new game didn’t keep me busy longer, hubby probably wondering when is it going to be my turn you hog.

I think if Otis could talk that’s what he would have been saying this morning. Otis has been a brat lately, lets see the other night my husband was seating down minding his own business, and Otis attacked his leg. No reason at all, just attacked him. He didn’t hurt my husband more startled than anything. No mark was lift on his leg so I think Otis was doing the Give me attention now.

This morning I woke up, and came to my favorite seat, turned on my laptop. I figure I have no job right now might as well work on my homework. I read 3 chapters of my books, and have started trying to think of what I want to write in my next paper. I take a couple days of thinking before starting my papers. First I think through it. Within a half hour Otis was letting me know he had enough of me studying. You know he don’t meow next to me, nope he goes into the hallway by the bedroom and large bathroom and screams.

I called him over, and he did the I going to come over then run away. I want attention but only on my terms. Finally I gave up on studying and let him up. Little brat decided he try to bite my arm. My arm must of tasted tasty to him because he kept licking at it. Those of you who own cats now after they lick a few times it start getting a little annoying if they keep it up. Otis is a good kitty but lately he been acting like someone put a quarter in him.
