I’m still looking for a job. It’s now been over 2 years since I worked and I’ve been looking for a job all this time. I do office work and can’t sit or stand for long periods of time so sales jobs are out of the question for me.
It gets very frustrating sending out resume after resume and not getting a call or going to an interview and not getting hired.
But on the upside my house is always nice an clean!
I’m still looking for a job. I do clerical/office work and can use a variety of computer programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Quicken and different document management software programs. I have been doing this type of work for the past 22 years and consider myself quite experienced. I am self-taught on the computer and I am a quick learner. I can use a lot of different types of office machines such as faxes, copiers and scanners.
The reason I haven’t found a job yet is that the job market for my type of work is not very good. There aren’t a lot of jobs out there for general office workers and secretaries. I was working at a temp job in 2008 and was laid off at the end of the season. The company decided, because of the economy, not to bring in temp workers in 2009. Because I was a temp worker I didn’t pay in enough to unemployment that the unemployment I did get only lasted a couple months. I have been without any income, except for a little here and there since April of 2009.
I haven’t given up. I’m still looking. I send out resumes and have even tried to make my resume better but either I don’t hear anything or I go to an interview and don’t get the job.
I still haven’t had any luck finding a job. I can’t believe no one needs an experienced office worker. There haven’t been any jobs in the paper.. not even for Tennessee injury lawyers. I can file, answer phones, etc. I can use Word, Excel and many other office programs.
I even applied at WaWa and Shoprite and haven’t heard anything back from either place. As much as standing for long periods bothers my back I’m willing to give working in places like that a try.
Something has to come up soon. I really need to work.
I changed my theme…. again! Big surprise, huh? I think this one is pretty neat.
Yeah, I know you were expecting to see a new recipe post but I’ve been fooling around with my new theme. I think I’ve got everything the way I want it… for now anyway.
I’ll be doing more posts soon and I promise there will be a recipe or two or three thrown in. I’ve been so busy at work the past few weeks that I’ve been neglecting my blogs when I get home. It should start slowing down some and I’ll be feeling like posting more soon.
Because of the events of last week I missed a couple days of work. If I don’t work I don’t get paid so Friday and this coming week I’ll be working extra hours to try to make up for some of the hours I missed last week. I have work piled up so it’s a good thing to work extra hours and get caught up. I would love to be able to catch up on my work at night or on the weekend but a couple of the programs I use I can’t use from home.
I love working where I work. I love the people I work with. I love the fact that we can wear jeans and t-shirts to work every day! One of my bosses just bought himself a new Zero Halliburton briefcase. It reminds me of ones that you see in spy movies. It’s hardsided and will keep his laptop safe in case it gets dropped.
When you grocery shop do you use a list or do you remember everything you need? When I shop, if I don’t use a list, I forget lots of things. My memory is getting terrible. I blame it on age but I think it’s because I have so much on my mind that I forget.
I don’t have this trouble at work. I can remember what I have to do and when I have to do it but when I’m not at work I’m a complete scatterbrain. I’ll think of things that I have to do on my way home from work and just a couple miles away from work I’ll forget all about that and go right home. I’ll walk in the door then remember what I had to do. Or I’ll remember it when I’m about to climb into bed.
Anyone have any good memory pills? I sure could use them!
I’ve been trying for months to get the grease buildup off of the top edge of my kitchen cabinets. I bought some Lysol Lemon Breeze All Purpose Cleaner and it works. It took a couple tries but that gunk is gone!
So while people were busy at the Branson golf course I was cleaning my cabinets. I got the top ones done, now it’s time to get the bottom ones done. And after all that I have to re clean my counter tops. I should have done the upper cabinets before I did the counter tops! Oh well.. live and learn!
After all this work and sweating I should probably weigh about 10 lbs! lol
