Whatcha mad at me for?

Ladies and Gents,


Can I ask y'all question? Why doesn't justice prevail when you inform your friend/family member/coworker that you have information that their significant other is cheating?


Who do they always get mad at? *looks around* You silly. And for what? I guess forcing them to accept what they already know. What a tangled web we weave... *cues Tupac beat*

I dunno...

Just finished a phone interview. I think I did okay but you never know. I'm a better face to face interviewee. But now I have to wait a week or two to hear back from someone.


I hate that.

Smacked in the face

Yesterday afternoon I felt like the whole universe gave me a knuckle sandwich.

*Maury voice*

"And here's her story" *cues video*


I had a late interview yesterday scheduled at 4:15. It was for a position at a warehouse. I wasn't pressed for it but hey, I need a job. I arrived at the store, gave the front desk employee my name and waited.  She approaches me a couple minutes later.


"Tierra, who did you say called you for the interview?"


"Courtney."


"Courtney? She's not scheduled to work today."


O_O


She then picks up the phone and makes some calls. In my head I continue to cuss my luck. I overhear her conversation,"We're not hiring? Okay."


She walks over to me again.


"Ma'am, are you sure your interview isn't for another location?"


"Yes, I'm sure. I only applied for this store."


As she went back to the front desk, I strolled through my call log. I knew I still had the interviewer's phone number. I called and.... "Good Afternoon (different location) Warehouse, how can I help you?


O_O


I closed my cellphone and moonwalked out the door. I was mad at two people: myself and the manager at the other location. She never told me the location yesterday AND I never verified the location because I only applied to the store nearest my house.


So there I was, professionally dressed with nowhere to go....


To be continued....

Adult Problems....



... Why didn't the garbage men take ALL my trash this morning? I mean, I know some pieces were *mumbles* furniture. Now later today instead of clearing out my dvr, i.e. catching up on my shows, I have to take a trip to the friendly dump.


Kids don't have to worry about stuff like this. I want my childhood member services card back, please.

Happy day after Halloween

Lady J trick or treating for the first time.

Enjoy.


I'm 99% plus 1 jobless

3 job interviews this week. Where's the yays? In my back pocket. Being unemployed for 5 going on 6 months has sucked 67% of my joy away from me. My optimism is gone.

Mama, I think I need to kill a man so I can get my swagger back. (I kid, it's Hov if you didn't know)

Yesterday I received an email from Verizon Wireless thanking me for applying for a position but they decided to go with a more qualified candidate. Ha! I sold Verizon for 7 years. What, did they hired someone who sold their phones for 7.3 yrs? Unbelievable.

Anyway, when I'm not getting those types of emails, I'm searching for temp work, which is now far and in between. Christmas is knocking at my door does so my job search has been kicked into super overdrive.

Anyone have any job leads?
