As a Matter of fact

I am soooo tired. WHo friggin knew that going to work, school and being the greatest parent ever is such hard work?
OK maybe not the best but heck, im good.
I need a quickie though. No not that kind of quickie. just the weekend one. You know that one you have when you get to relax and get drunk without having to worry about the lil ones. Yeah I could go for some of that right now. Martini, margarita, hey what ever gets me to the point where I don't really give a shit about what I say, even if its talking crap about the people that live with us, telling them they are dirty ass people.
It sounds like fun. I havent fought in a looong time either.
I am in control, I am a stable person that is maybe why, but a good fight could do me some good.
Don't I sound like someone waiting for a fun filled night out on the town? Hell yea thats me!
Now where is the nearest bar?......................

Freakin A!

Thank you to those who crossed your fingers for me!
I got the job.
I am sooooo glad that painful "process" is finally over.
Im telling you it is by far going to be the most rewarding in the end.
I am kind of nervous about messing up, but hey doesn't everyone?
I'm not used to having to get up every morning and getting dressed, that will have to change.
Yeah, I have gained a 'few' pounds, I admit I have been a bit lazy.
My house is clean, I take care of the lil' ones, so im not that lazy, but still.

The inital ladies that interviewed me seemed really cool to work with, nothing to stiff.
Lawyer was even a great person to talk to.
Didn't I tell you that I nailed it?
Damn, IM GOOD!
See I think that I might have some type of psychic powers.
I know I do. OHHHHH
Yeah for me!

Dreaded Interview

So I have been without income for a while now and really need to do something about making me some $$$.
I have for the past 4 months been searching and looking for a job.
It's hard! No one wants to hire me it seems, or at least give me a chance at an interview.
And let me say this because I dont know about the rest of you but I am possibly the worst interviewee there is.
I tend to say ummm ALOT, I cant look others directly in the eyes, I lose all concentration, I am loss for words, and I cannot think.
Saying this let me tell you about my week.
I was on Craigslist looking for an office job (I hate using this site because of all of the spam) I usually apply to about 4 to 5 a week, hoping that someone likes my freakin cover letter to at least take a look at the resume.
I got a lucky break recently.
I applied for a file clerk at a lawyers office, thinking that heck its worth a shot.
(considering that I am trying to become a paralegal, makes sense)
I sent them my junk, got a response about a day later saying to call them to make an appointment for an interview.
So I did just that.
Dude, they wanted 2 letters of reccomendation, 2 copies of my resume, references, all of that and im like "I don't have any letters that I can conjure up."
This sucks....
I email my old bosses to see if there was anyway to get a letter.
I was a great worker, I dont care what anyone else thinks otherwise.
I get both letters, all of my stuff together and walla interview time.
I get there and the 2 ladies that do the first interview really need someone for this position. As well as I am just desperate to get a freakin job.
I didn't say much, as to they were telling me about the position.
So I felt it went good. They called me that same day and asked if I could come in for a second interview. YES!
This time it was with the Lawyer who I would be working for.
Scary. As I was driving to the location, I thought 'hey im not going to be nervous, i'll just go in there and be myself, and if they dont like it screw them!'
I get there do the interview, and I feel pretty good about it.
I feel I nailed it.
Cross your fingers, I hope I have a job by next week.
