Well so far I haven't heard anything on the job I applied for. I have since sent out 3 more resume's, so we can just hope for the best in these economical times!
On another note we are supposed to go to Washington DC tomorrow to present to Marriott for the last job we have to do here at this time. Hopefully things will go well, you can never tell with Marriott! This is the second time we have had to reschedule this trip due to weather, and now the weather is bad again.....you think someone is trying to tell us something??????
My boss has pretty much told me if something comes along to take it, so I take that as I'm next on the chopping block! So please keep me in your thoughts that something new comes through soon!

I did it!
I can't believe I sent my resume out! I feel fate may be on my side, I have been wanting a sales rep position for about 6 months now, and low and behold one came up yesterday! Bad news is could be a lot of travel, good news is I would be working at home for the most part.
Off the work subject for a while my son has been doing so much better since the reduction in hours. Life at home is soo much better! I am usually home now before I used to leave the office. It's GREATNESS! I have been walking the new dog and actually been able to get some things done during the week.
Good Vibes, Good Vibes, Good Vibes!

Can I Vent Please!

Ok, I let it go on Friday, but again today is enough! So my boss is the owner of this company,......right?
First of all let me just say that if the two of us that are still here didn't come back, she would be up sh*t creek. She doesn't know anything about her own company. She gave me an item of agenda to do today, which was no big deal. The problem is I do not have the application on MY computer to do it. The person that does is the one that is part time now and wasn't here today. So she FREAKS out on me because I do not know her passwords to get into her computer! EXCUSE ME! Isn't this YOUR business, shouldn't YOU know that information? It's not like it's a login password, it is the password to open the book keeping program, you would think that would be important for the OWNER to have?!?!?!?
Second, she is about to get basically sued by one of our residential clients for not doing what she is supposed to. She received a letter from them last week, and has spent over a week trying to prepeare a response. So on Friday she forwards me 3 emails that she had started and asked me to put them all together in a document. She cannot even create a word document people! Then once I opened the emails she realized how bad it really was! Spelling, allignment, it was just plain confsuing! I cannot beleive she was actually going to send this out! I sucked it up and spent half the day creating this document, which she changes twice on Friday.
Monday morning, another change was sitting on my desk! To make an extremely frustrating story short I have changed it 5 more times today, and have got none of my REAL work done! Which she is going to ask about first thing in the morning!
Sorry, just had to get this off my chest! She is the owner of the company and cannot type a word document or email! This proves that some people do not work hard, they just get lucky!

New Year....New Things!

Well 2009 brought about a large change in my work life. I am now working reduced hours 9-3. While the welcoming hours are nice,(since I have such a long commute)the terror of that first 20% reduced paycheck is starting to set in! Don't get me wrong this week has been soooooo nice! It only takes me an hour and a half once I leave the office, pick up my boy, and get home(it used to be 2 and a half hours. Not to mention my son has been an angel this week, I know that schedule was taking a toll on us both. Now I just hope I can hang in here until the school year is over :P)
On a good note, IT'S FRIDAY and it's 3:00, so I'm outta here!
PEACE!
