Just Pass Me By

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.

You know those people who walk around with those blowers, they work great on leaves and fallen small branches. Otis why at his clawing post perch thing, they came walking by the building he got into a small little coarch type of stance and started walking toward me, with his ears back.
He wanted nothing to do with that loud noise but hey I can’t blame him niether because I don’t like it niether. Now I will have to go out and clean off my balcony.
Otis went and hid behind my coach after a couple minutes he did something I have not seen him do when he gets scared. I have my sewing machine between the coach and the wall in the living room, Otis went to the sewing machine and put his 2 front paws up and look from his little hidding place he made for him self and watched what they were doing.
Grant it when Otis is scared or alarmed I will tell him it’s okay, it can’t get you. Otis I wouldn’t call him a shy cat but I wouldn’t call him out going, I will say he improved a lot since I first got him. It used to be when something scared him he would hide in somewhere for the entire day. So this is a improvement for Otis considering he is back in here, sneefing my toes.

There are 3 places I do not want Otis to get behind, well maybe more places if we count into. Those places are, my husband computer area, behind the tv furniture the peice I recently got, and behind my computer disk area. I worry about him getting into trouble with all those electric cords so I am good at chasing him away from there.
Our new TV Stand is nothing like the old one where there was no space for Otis to be underneath it. Right now I have put some notebooks, and on of my school writting manuels and a phonebook and a box for my laptop fan. I decided to do this to try to discourage Otis from hiding underneath there. Otis is a strong cat and you’d think as big as he is he wouldn’t want to be under the TV Stand I guess Otis like the tight little places. He seems to have all his hiding places in tight corners of the house. One place is in my closet behind my wedding dress there is where if he steals stuff from us he will move it there or in his cat litter. He been hanging out in my clean clothes basket all day today. I should put them clean clothes away to discourage him from living in my basket and go back to his favorite chair at least I think it is since that’s where all his hair is. I can’t tell you how often I clean the chair and still looks like a missing cat is there. I think all of Otis weight is in hair not in body weight, when I give him a bath he looks like a drawned rat, but yet he 20 pounds. Like to know where he been hiding his weight. Today he hasn’t done a lot of meowing guess yesterday he got enough attention to last him awhile. Cats need attention but they just don’t want us to believe that, they like us owner thinking there independent. Now I will have to start looking for him unders the TV Stand since that where I found him when I got up the first time.

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.

It seems I just can’t avoid getting a bunch of junk mail that I don’t want. Some days I wish our mailman would simply throw out the advertisements from politicians and for credit cards or hey here’s a check for 3,000 towards your new car. Okay if I really wanted a new car, I wouldn’t be going about it that way, I would go and look for a car and if I felt the price was to high to pay I would try to negotiate with the car dealership.
I can’t even avoid junk mail in my e-mail accounts. It’s amazing how much junk I get through that system to. I know our mailman can not throw out our mail because that would get him into serious trouble. So I will have to continue throwing it out with the rest of garbage. I don’t mind my bank sending me advertisments but that because normally it comes with my statements and that don’t bug me sometimes I don’t even open those unless I have questions about balancing my check book.
I have online banking so it’s almost a waste to have the statement sent to me but I like it being sent to me just incase I ever have questions, I can go back and look at the statement and find what I was question. Online backing works great to make sure bills are going out on time or what not. My bank is a larger bank with a good small hometown Outer Banks
feel to it. They haven’t forgot about good customer service skills. Now the other week they did with my hubby, or maybe she simply had the wrong information because the next operator gave us a different song and dance.
I am surprised with the government having to bail out these banks within the last week I have gotten some borrow money from either credit cards or loans of some type. You’d think they wouldn’t want me borrow from them, since I don’t have a job and lets face it the longer I am out of work the worst my credit rating has got to be. I just won’t apply but wouldn’t it be nice if people aren’t responded they learn to just not waste the mail cost of sending out their advertisements to them.

We found my husband jacket. I couldn’t remember if he had it at the clinic, and my friend said she recalled him wearing it at the clinic. Today we got a package from one of our reveiwable things. Yippie I can’t wait to see what new games we get to play. Okay I like gaming expecially when I get stuck on homework or when I just get home from work and need to give my brain a little of relaxation time to think of nothing.
I better call my friend and tell her that he found his jacket. I stopped by management and one of our guys told me we have your husband jacket. I was like are you kidding me. This honestly was the last place and honest I didn’t even think about the office here. I would have never guessed it niether would my husband have. Good thing I went down there to pick up a package but it would have been nice to at least recieve a call hey we have your jacket. It’s not like it’s tea light candles which are great, but still not needed right away this time of year. It’s a jacket in in Minnesota it does get a little cold toward the end of October, well now hubby gots 2 jackets. Maybe before stopping on Saturday we should have checked with management but you know I forgot all about him having his jack over his arm not on him. Oh well, 2 jackets is good and now I don’t have to hurry up and net him his scraff. Now I can take my time and unthread it if I really wanted to but I think I am far enough that unthreading it would be more of a pain in the nick then good. I wonder what we got in our package, I don’t open them I let him open them, with me.

Last week I had a interview. The night before I had to go to a informational meeting about the company. I decided this job wouldn’t work out for me after intervieing because I just think it be to much pressure it would be 100% commission and 5-6 months of training grant it during that time I would be earning money. The interviewer wanted to fast track me to regional management I believe it was, but after talking about the position I started worrying that I would end up with the potential of really getting into financial trouble.
Pretty much what it is was a loan on commission, which is never a good thing. If I where to flop it wouldn’t be me paying but my manager, the one over me. If I were to get to that point then it could be me having to suck up the cost of someone else mistakes. I am not sure I like that idea, I will think about it if nothing else opens I might have to work very hard at it and pray no one gets raid of their services.
Well I went to the meeting, and they started it a few minutes late. Ever notice, that it’s okay for a interviewer to run late, or for these companies to start things late, but heaven forbid you run late to their interview. I always run 10 to 20 minutes early, it’s a pain when they run 10 to 20 minutes late, that means I have sat there doing nothing when I could have been using that time for homework or something else which needs to get done. Don’t get me wrong I am not mad, I just think it funny that they stress being early and they themselves are late.
One thing I will do if I ever sit up meeting is make sure I can be on time, and if not place a call to the person to come in a little later. I understand getting caught up with something or other appointments running later then you expected and sometimes that just happens. Running a business is hard and that’s probably the main reason they are running late. I often get asked did you have any problems finding us, usaully I do not have problems. My favorite one is were are you coming from, when I tell them if they on the other side of the metro how they ask if it’s to far. Woodbury is about a good 25 minutes with out traffic and a good 45 minutes with traffic, it’s not hard to get to but when I do interviews I often get asked if it’s to far away. Now I will not work in lets say Stillwater because it the other way North and East and would take me to long to make it out there during rush hour.
I really hope this work at home job comes through for me, because it be nice to be able to work at home and cut out the travel time, and not have to count that into my schedule. Travel time seems to be the most tiring and draining of all activities I do. I love driving for the most but it gets taxing during rush hours. I know I need a job, gotta get supplies and cover living expenses which is hard to do. I might need to get outdoor furniture covers for my plants.

Someone has inserted my cat with a bunch of quarters he been so hyper lately. I wish I had his engery to day. He woke me up at 5am wanting to play, then he wanted lift alone. Good I can go back to sleep, then he started running around the apartment around 9am. Didn’t want nothing to do with me while I was sitting with no homework in my lap. I figure get my homework done first and start looking for a new job. I might have a job but I don’t know yet, waiting to find out if it coming through or not I hope it does because it will be a work at home type job. I would do well with it too, it wouldn’t be to hard even through it require a little of learning how to do it, but I am sure learning the tasks at hand won’t be to difficult considering I am almost done with my degree and having computer intellegences..
I got my laptop booted up to start on my homework, I had 3 discussion questions and to finish my part of the learning team assignment. Otis was laying in the blue round seat, we got when we first moved in, used to be hubby favorite seat. I like the seat but it’s a little uncomfortable not like nice theater seating. No sooner then I got my computer in my lap otis was meowing.
I called him over he came and I went to pet him. He ran to his scratching post, and tore through the living room to the bedroom back out and almost slamped into the window. A couple minutes go by and he back at meowing by the office door and master bedroom. The doors open so I know he can get to his place. After about 10 minutes I got tired of him meowing.. So I went to go get him and did the run through out the entire house and into the bedroom. I picked him up, he right away did the paws around the nick and did the hug thing. Otis is a strong cat, I don’t think it has anything to do with he’s 20 pounds but onces he found the hug position he don’t like to give it up.
I sat down with him and pulled my laptop back up. I am going to get done with everything one way or another. Otis after 5 minutes wanted down, huh you think I going to let you go. I kept him until I only had a paragraph lift to go on my paper, don’t worry it only took me a half hour to type it up. Could have been worst and been an over 1000 word assignment. I got my paper done, and responded to my DQs, and looked on the sites for jobs and still haven’t found anything very promising other then that one lead.

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.

I wonder if I am the only one brought up with certain behaviors on at the table or while eating.  Some of the things growing up my mom didn’t want us doing was licking the plate clean, having elbows on the table, blowing the nose, coughing up flame and spitting it out at the table. She expected us if we had to do anything like blow our nose or pass gas through the backside to get up and leave the table. This is something that is still with me and I am in my early 30.

My husband on the other hand blows his nose while we are eating and I find it discussing and poor table manners I have asked him not to do this because it gross. But he don’t get it and does it anyways, but now if he feels something and I don’t give him his way he don’t like it. I wonder if I have learned different set of behaviors for eating. I almost don’t even want to eat with him when he got a cold, because I lose my appiete.

It’s amazing he don’t like probably 90% of the vegetables I like, he loves those highly process potatoes and rice. OKay I hate potatoes because my mom used to make use eat it all the time, but because I know he loves them I will simply eat them because they won’t kill me. Now it’s like pulling teeth to get him to try new things but fine I deal with it, so dinner becomes very limited in selections. How many times a week can I change up those mash potatoes. I don’t like rice at all unless it with milk and butter and sugar, but I stil will make rice with dinner. He loves corn on the cobb so do I so that a good thing come this time of year. Sometimes I get veggies for just me, but those end up being the frozen ones so that they don’t go bad.

Growing up I wasn’t allowed to tell my mom I wasn’t going to eat something, shoot if I told her that I have it for how ever long it took me to finally eat it. Mom was mean as far as food but I believe this is why I will eat what I am served unless it makes me sick. Now I don’t want to make something that would cause my husband to be ill but stuff that would be healthier for us to eat. 

Last night I ask him if he could please stop blowing his nose at the table while we eat and he got mad and said I was picking a fight. Gee it’s only me picking a fight when I ask him to do stuff that simple kindness for another person. I call it asking him nicely to stop something which I am pretty sure isn’t only bugging me. I am pretty sure when we go out to eat it bother other people in the restuarant who near us. I love him but he’s driving me buggy and since he won’t listen to me I have to go somewhere and talk about it.

I do know he wasn’t forced to eat things he didn’t like growing up, if he didn’t want his veggies he got his way. I am pretty sure if we ever have kids, I will be the meanny and make them eat their veggy but when he home and I am not around he will allow them not to eat them. So they will probably never learn how to eat the things which are healthy for them and will want all the yummy junk food. Most children do not like veggies growing up, and if they don’t learn how to like them they are probably not going to like them as adults neither.

Eating veggies is like online trading, when it first came out people weren’t sure about it, becuase it was something new, but now since we been trading on line for a while people prefer it probably. Grant it on line trading and eating veggies have nothing in common other then the first time you do it it may be a little different.  The one thing I don’t worry about with table manners is not putting my elbows on the table, I will do that. Well I also sometimes lick the bowl clean or yogurt jar clean but not when people are around to watch me.

The rules of manners I hold now are the not blowing nose at the table, try not to pass gas, chew with the mouth clothes, and try to have appropraite conversation at the table. It amazing my hubby gets it as far as watching things on tv, he knows Kitchen Nightmares, Bones, House, and a couple other shows are not good for viewing while eating. But he can’t get the simple table manner of don’t blow your nose at the table. I wouldn’t have posted this if I haven’t talk to him, and since I did that and he choiced to give me the silent treatment on it maybe he read this and get it.
