So, I just went for a job interview, which was more like a job questionnaire. They gave me this 5 page booklet of hypothetical scenarios and theoretical questions and asked me to write up detailed responses. It seriously took me almost an hour to complete it! I mean, it would have been easier for someone to ask me these questions and then have me respond verbally, right? Maybe they're testing out my writing and spelling skills? :lol:

So anyways, I do that, talk to the manager for about 5 seconds, get home, sit down on the computer and the phone rings. It's them. They want me to come back in at 1 for a "formal interview" geez! I mean, I'm happy they called me, I guess my responses worked well enough, but wouldn't it have made more sense to do it all at once? It's not like they're next door!

Oh well, if I get the job then I won't have any problems with this at all... :lol:

:lol: I wouldn't be hired if they saw MY writing skills!! EEEkkk I have terrible penmanship! Cool about them calling you back so soon though...hope it all goes well! :)

I got the job!

:dance:

I've got a brief orientation and walkthrough later today, then it looks like I'll actually be starting tomorrow morning! :o

I'm a little on the fence about some aspects of the position, but it IS a significant job with a high-profile arts organization, so I'm not going to complain. I'm just grateful that I was able to get a job so quickly, and on the arts side of management / administration to boot! :D

That's great!! Sounds like a very interesting job. I'll be happy right now just to ask, "did you want a large coke with that?"

:blink: If I see or hear anyone complain about getting a job, I will freak the eff out. :angry:

You have been warned. :yes: LOL

:rofl: I'm with you! :thumbs:

it looks like the hubster will be starting day shift next week :dance:

Yay Marilyn!! :dance:

Speaking of jobs, I have another interview tomorrow. I'm still waiting to hear from that other job, but It's definitely good to explore my options right? :)

Hey cool!! Hope it all goes well for you. Maybe it will look more promising than the one you're waiting to hear on. I agree with you, good to explore all your options. I remember once turning down an interview for working at a hotel, ( cleaning rooms, etc) because I had just gotten a job as a waitress. That was silly of me. I ended up NOT liking the job and was stuck doing it for 3 years! ( ummmm it was at the Canadian style of Walmart, that starts with a Z...) :whistle: I may not have liked the hotel room job, but at least I wouldn't have had to put up with some of the customers I had!! :lol:

This website amuses me greatly.

It translates any english phrase you put in and puts it through about 54 languages. It's pretty funny to see what comes out in the end, like this one:

"Hey look a UFO!" ...54 translations later we get: "Frisbee, please?"

Sounds like fun Joyce! I want to take Bill fishing so bad, he's never done it, and he actually seems scared of the whole concept... what a big city boy. It would just be totally hilarious :lol:

It was a blast!! Tell him there's nothing like that bite on the end of the line...and pulling in a big fish!! Take him salmon fishing on the west coast...ohhhhh he'll get addicted! Make sure you check when the best time of year is. In August around the waters of the Island, you can catch those big 25-30 or more Spring Salmons!! *slurp*

I would love to go marlin fishing sometime. Probably never happen but wow..what a rush that would be!

My parents just called, it's 25 degrees celcius where they are!
I'm in Southern Cali and it's not even that warm.

Yep...been like that here last few days..although supposed to be a smidgen cooler this weekend.

What an amazing beautiful couple days! Spring is in the South! For this Canuck here though, feels like the summer temperatures back on the Island! :lol:

Tim took me fishing last night. I'd never done night fishing before, and I caught four bass, the biggest being 2.5 lbs. We where just casting off shore, as we don't have a boat (yet).

Sure is different from salmon fishing. I actually lost quite a few, because I'm still getting used to setting the hook. But I'm getting there :)

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Wow Huggles...does sound strange, but I'm kinda like you...I'd be tempted too, to see if it's real or not. I guess they're not taking Friday off then? :lol:

I've been too busy lately, getting ready to do an Adult Easter Drama this Sunday, and we're taking a quickie trip to Florida in a couple weeks, but when I get back, I think I'll take the English/math assessment for the police dispatcher job. I think it would be fun, and different. I'm still thinking about training for a medical transcriber too, and be able to work at home. I have to admit, it's kinda nice to be able to look at some different options for work. *Truth be told..I really don't want to work retail*..lol.

Oh man, the bread from yesterday tasted SO bad. So, so, so bad and I am not that fussy an eater.

Ahh...but bad is bad..whether you're a fussy eater or not!! :lol: You should have seen the first time I tried to make bread..I didn't realize how hot the liquid, ( can't remember if I used milk or water..lol) should be...so the yeast didn't activate, and the bread didn't rise. Course, I didn't know that at the time. I just thought it was supposed to be dense like that...:blush: Wow...gave me and my late husband...um....stomach problems...:blush: :blush:

The sink installation is finally complete! Thank god as I was about to go to my in-law's house too hehe.

That is so exciting Darkchilde. I can't wait till we start renovating here. Tim's house is sad, sad, sad...:lol:

Hi all, just stopping in to say HELLO. Because I just know you've all missed me.. :P

Going to Baltimore tomorrow to bring my mom to the aquarium.. I could stand and stare at jellyfish all day long.

My moms having a real good time though, she loved D.C. and couldn't believe that you could just walk into the museums. So ya... good times.

Sounds like a wonderful time. I was so happy to spoil my son and his fiancee when they came down here for the wedding last fall. Had to take them to Myrtle Beach, and one of those fantastic dinner shows where you eat your entire meal with your hands only! I really liked D.C too, when we went there on our honeymoon. We have to go back. Too many museums to see!!

in other news I am actually feeling better now then I was earlier... my nose is still stuffy but I haven't had any nausea today which is good...

Well the sink is 98% complete. Hubby and FIL found out that the original pipe from the old sink won't work with the new sink... all after already going to the hardware store. So hubby is going to finish the installation today. It sucks not having a sink at all, but it is very pretty and almost there!

Ugh...I hate that when that happens..lol. I lived in an older home back in BC...( built right after the 2nd WW.) I was afraid of doing some reno's as I knew I'd probably open up a can of worms, and it would cost a whole lot more than I planned. Which is sad, cause that bathroom needed to be blown up, and rebuilt! :lol:

I would like to start something when it comes time for my husband and I to retire, we'd like to open a restaurant eventually. But who knows what our future will bring us.

I've always wanted to own a restaurant. Just a little cafe actually, for breakfast and lunch, and afternoon coffee. Sandwiches; soups, salads, desserts...that sort of thing. Like a 6:00 am to 4:00 pm....*dreams* probably won't ever happen I know....But those type back in my hometown did very good!

so it is official.. the hubster got day shift!! :dance:

someone from HR called him this morning to ask if he wanted to accept the position and he said, yes of course! ..lol

it still might be a few weeks before he starts though..


in other news I finally got an appointment with another surgeon but the soonest he can see me is April 6th.. the lady did ask me if I was in pain and I told the truth that I wasn't in pain.. I don't feel great but I am not in pain...

Well his parents own a business up in Denver and they decided to expand by opening a new branch down here in Southern CO. Right now he's the only employee (which is grand fun for him...) But I also get to help out quite a bit, ya know, for no pay and little appreciation from the inlaws? It's not such a fantastic situation I assure you :lol: They say that when business reaches a certain level (they have this numeric value in their head that may or may not be reached anytime soon) they want to hire me on to help. I'm really not holding my breath or sitting around waiting for that to happen, that's for sure.

Speaking of which, off to my job that doesn't pay anything I go :P

Well, at least it's something for you to do. I may just see about volunteering somewhere till I get something. Course..little to busy for that too! :lol: Two places I wouldn't mind would be the SPCA, and a woman's shelter. Like a transition house.

:lol: I've been saying that to myself for a while. I've been so busy with helping my husband start his new business venture, and then moving and settling into our new house, I've been thinking that squeezing in a job is going to be hard! But, then again, maybe a job will be a good excuse not to have to be super woman and help everyone with everything all the time, right? When you're a working woman Tim may have to step it up a little! ;)






Wow, did I miss that post? What new business venture? Is it something you can do with him, or no? I've discussed with Tim a business I think would be fun!

Well I would think how it is supposed to work is that you would just click multiquote on both posts and reply - but hey, that doesn't work haha.

What I do is go to the first post I want to reply to, copy it, go to the next one and hit reply and paste that first quote in there as well.


:bonk: What a good idea!! *whooops..that "bonk" is for me!! *....

Testing...

Edit: seemed to work just fine for me. Hit multiquote on both posts, then hit reply on the bottom of the thread.

:bonk: OMG OMG OMG I'm such a blonde. No, really, I am. Tim shakes his head at me all the time. Guess it just makes life interesting...

That sucks Raven and Joyce! Applying for jobs is nothing but a pain. I've applied for several the past two weeks or so, and I keep getting e-mails from people asking me to confirm that I'm still interested in the position. I mean, if I apply for your job today, and then you e-mail me tomorrow asking me if I'm still interested, there's about a 98.9% chance I'm still going to be available. And then I get the generic, "a decision will be made in the coming weeks" Well thank you very much, I'll just sit here for a month hoping you'll call me... or not. Geez. It's not really a matter of life or death, I'd just like to get out there and start doing something.

In other news, we're expecting 5-8 inches of snow tonight and into tomorrow. And I thought it was spring...

Our yard is a complete disaster and I want to start planning some landscaping but It's really hard when you don't know if the nice weather is here to stay, or if you're going to get hammered with snow again. The backyard is all dirt and has about 30 years of leaves lingering about, and the front yard isn't much better. Apparently whoever lived here before didn't care at all... or maybe nobody who has lived here cared at all.

Thanks Huggles..nice to have support. I feel awful cause I'm collecting EI, and I haven't found a job yet!! Oh well, I'm sure something will come around soon. Something I found out today though..the Curves I go to hired someone!! :angry: Helllloooooo!! She knows I'm looking, and it's what I did back home!! Whatever..I'll survive.

Hope you stay warm tonight. We've had some great weather here, then it will rain and be cold. Guess that's part of the South. This backyard needs a major helping hand too. I'm going to see how much it will cost to hire landscapers and just get it over with. Tim's house needs lots of work too!! *maybe I'm to busy for a job??* :lol:

Life has kept me away for a while but I'm back on VJ briefly!..and wow, new look! I know, I know...old news. Anyways, an update on this opportunity and a vent! How long does it take for them to hire the manager? Geez, it's been five months since they first posted the position! I applied back in November, had the first interview with the hiring manager in January, had what I thought was the inevitable job offer from the HR manager (but it turned out to be...second INTERVIEW!) a couple of weeks ago and now I've got a noticeable 4.5-months-pregnant baby bump! SMH, I think I'm ready let this opportunity go and withdraw my application.

Wow...sounds like me, and I only applied at Bath and Body works!! I had my first interview in the middle of Feb....and have gotten a complete run around since. No one seems to know what's going on. I'm guessing I'm to have a follow up interview, but haven't heard yet...and all this for a job that might only be 8 hours a week to start! :blink:

So, my mom's in town... YAY! Except she brought her friend with her and her friend is SUPER selfish. Last night her friend said "we're going to Olive Garden tomorrow night" and I said "Oh, who's we?" and she said "Oh just me and your mom"... Then last night when they were leaving I asked my mom when she wanted to go shopping today (she wants to buy me a new outfit) and my mom said "in the morning" and her friend said "Well, we want to go for a swim first!!!". You know what? Screw you mom's friend. You can go swimming anytime at pools, I don't get to see my mom very often. If she really wants to go for a swim she can go and my mom and I can go shopping.

So basically my mom's here this weekend, but it looks like I'm not going to get to see her much.

awww sorry Peachy! That must be so frustrating. Stand your ground. Tell your mom you want to visit HER and not so much her friend. Maybe you and Varba can..."crash" their dinner date? Hee hee...."Oh! I forgot you were coming here! Well, we may as well join you!".... :devil:

Looking at another glorious day here in Saint Louis. Lousy weather this weekend predicted though. Back to the rain. I'm just going to focus on today though. After swimming this morning, an early lunch with Gene on a sunny patio!

Gene's Dr. said his ears aren't infected, however there may be some damage due to his previous cold/infection and the stmospheric pressure during an aerial tram and the flight. If things don't clear up with a decongestant by Monday, he's to see an EN&T Dr. on Tuesday. His GP says Gene may have to have tubes in his ears.

Again...I'm only going to focus on today...

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hiiii Everyone!

We got the keys today and have been busy doing little home related things. Switching out light fixtures, door handles, painting, things like that. Great fun! I can't wait to move in on Saturday.

Good luck with your POE tomorrow lgg!! :)

How exciting! I love that feeling of "moving in"....even though I don't actually like...."moving"....
