Dirty Banana Pants

Today must be a good day.  I was called yesterday to have an interview today, which was scheduled to take place at 9am.  I was called, yesterday, a few hours later asking if it would be okay if the interview was at 10am…like I had a choice.  I get ready this morning and about 15 […]

Friday, I run by my house to pick up some things for an event I was helping with and found a letter in the mail from the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission.  I had filed for unemployment after being given the ax and had to wait for any monetary support until after the commission has investigated […]

During my unfortunate unemployment (or fortunate?) I have been accomplishing quite a bit.  I’ve managed to get the world to donate to my women’s club…yep, I sure did.  I’ve also managed to make a bit of money…but not in the illegal way.  I have boxes and boxes of clothes left over from the little Jake […]

I went to my 4th and final interview yesterday morning.  I received a call from the interviewer the day before to see if I could possibly reschedule the interview time.  I decided to opt for a later time as it would give me a chance to clear myself of any possible coughing fits.
I arrived, 10 […]

Well, I completed my third interview in two days yesterday.  Dear God.  I think I’ve found a new method of torture.  Try going on a job interview with bronchitis.  I did a phone interview yesterday morning, which went very well, although I know they were trying to decipher whether I was a boy or a […]

One thing I’ve never done in my life is being interviewed for a job while I am sick.  However, I will get the chance to do it this week, not once, but 4 times.  I’ve not been sick in over a year, and now, when I need my voice the most, I’ve come down with […]

I’ve gone from hearing nothing from anyone to my phone ringing off the hook…which is good.  I’ve done two interviews with a company and will have my third round interview tomorrow afternoon. It was rescheduled because the vice president’s flight was delayed today due to weather…..thank God.  I’ve been fighting off a wicked chest cold […]

I don’t have bipolar, but I feel that I am developing symptoms.  One moment I think I have a job, the next moment it’s ripped away.  And, unfortunately, it keeps happening. 
Case in point, the Evil Empire’s competitor, Dark Force, had a project for me.  I was contacted by a recruiter, asked for my resume….and then […]

Okay, here’s what happened last week…sit back, relax, grab some tissue, you might need it to keep from snotting all over yourself with laughter.
I was offered a contract job for a company in an industry (no not porn) that is not the most desirable industry to work in, but I thought I needed money.  Ha…  […]

Last week, I was beginning to feel desperate for a job.  My severance was soon to be coming to an end and I was getting anxious.  I have sent out a plethora of resumes and have had only a few calls.  Before, when I was out of work, I didn’t stress like I am now.  […]
