Job interview results

i told you yesterday i had a job interview, and now i'm telling you how it went, the job portion of the inter view went fine, i answered all the questions right and to the best of my ability. And i though the deal was in the bag, until they handed me a math test. my heart sunk to the floor b/c i already knew i wouldn't pass it. they needed to give it to me b/c sometimes the registers go down and they need people who can figure how much things are going to be in their head. and I already know I'm not that person. its sad really b/c once i began to think that i can survive like any "normal" person i realize that I'm not and i get sucked back down to knowing that i cant do math or calculate things like everyone else.

Will i ever find a place where i fit where i wont have to worry about not doing things like everyone else not to be afraid that i cant do math like everyone else. i felt so stupid today, i couldn't figure out more then half the questions and some of even the minus questions i wasn't even sure how to figure them out.

life seems to be giving me one blow after another. and I'm tired of crying and feeling sorry for myself, i want some purpose in my life!

job interview

I have a job interview tomorrow and I'm pretty excited. its at the movie theater, down the road from us. I'm excited b/c now I'll have a reason to get up in the morning/afternoon depending.

they called my up yesterday and just as i realized who was on the phone my phone went dead, i went running around looking for the other one, and finally i got it, and thankfully the person hadn't hung up. so I have an interview Thursday at 6:40pm and I'm excited! :)

I like to think if i have an interview i have the job :) but I'll let you know how it goes :)

I Got Burned

I'm sure you're going to get a good laugh out of this one, i personally didn't laugh while it happened or even after the fact, but everyone else I tell the story to has so here you have it: I burned My Elbow. Yep you heard it right I burned my elbow. How you ask here the "funny" part. I burned it on a light bulb, ha ha so funny, i know. Not! Okay heres the layout I'm sitting in our living room, there a chair next to me which holds the light, we don't have a lamp shade so its just the light bulb, so I'm siting there wishing a show or something, and i go to pull my hair back out of my face, and it hit the light bulb just long enough to get a 2nd degree burn. Nice i know, so now i have this perfect little circle bit smaller then a dime on my elbow.

I burned myself I believe it was Thursday of last week, and it still hurts, the dead skin was pulled off by accident on Monday so now theres sore "new" skin trying to heal. and I'm telling you its either sore or itchy. I've put all kinda of stuff to help it heal faster, but mostly i have a band aid on it so nothing touches it.

so now I'll have a scar, and now when ever I tell people how i got it, everyone will laugh ha ha. (so funny, NOT) so there you have it The exciting world of me :)

Update

As i figure no one actually looks at this anyway I'm pretty much free to say what i want here.

Getting fired/quitting from Minacs (OnStar) has a disturbing blow, and it sucked royally. Never in my 23 years have i ever been asked to leave work and not come back. Mind you there been times where i should have gotten fired like my last year working at Caton's for my only example. I wouldn't have been surprised to be asked to leave then.

But what gets me is worked my butt off at Minacs and you know what they told me the reason i wasn't cut out for the work was. "I'm Not Pushie Enough" word for word.

yeah cause I'm going to change who I've been for 23 years just so i can stay at a job that paid $10.50/hr. good money to me, but not good enough that I'll change myself for them. then again i don't think any amount of money would have done that.

so now I'm back to square 1 looking for work, do you know how hard it is after working for $10.50/hr and trying to get work for $7.50/hr? (or whatever the minum wage is now) What sucks the most is in 3 days of working at minacs with just $10/hr i made more then what i made working 2 WEEKS at Value village! THREE days compared to 2 WEEKS! its not even fair. I have experance in a call center enviorment but now it doesnt do me any good, b/c everywhere else i've looked whats at least 1 year exerance.

Lee and i were on the bus a few weeks ago and i over heard this couple talking, they were working at Tim Hortons and one of them was saying he'd ben working there for 5 years and hes making $7.75/hr. FIVE years people, and only making $7.75/hr. and the person above him had worked there for 10 years you wanna guess who much they are making? Only $9 bucks! You've got to be kidding me! I was only working at Minacs for one week at the time and i was making more then both of them.

But now I'm down to whatever job i can get is good again. I know what I'm missing out but it doesn't do me any good. So i went around a few days ago looking for work, haven't had any call back (no surprise there) life's pretty meaning less lately and it sucks.

So anyway while i was working at Minacs, I worked on the OnStar champagne I'm not sure who knows what that but its in some cars, trucks and vans, basically its 3 buttons, and they help you out, I'm not actually supost to say much about it b/c Fords trying to do the same thing in their cars, so I'd get "fired" if I gave any information out, but since that already happened I'm not sure what would happen. but anyway getting off topic, as i was working for them i realized that there are quite a few odd names in America (that who we worked for) and i'd like to shair a few of them with you:: but first my favorite American name Mr Canada!

Mr Loop
Melvins Belvins
Mr Shoemaker
Georgia Washington
Mr Roman
Mr Hooder
Mr Reading
James Bond
Mr Middle
Mrs Moore-Love
Mr Mooney
Robert Robertson
Mr Jesus
Mr Rollo
Mr Mooney
Eva Gay
Mr Hardway
Mr Beaver
Mr People
Love Walker
Mr Bean
Mr Gross
Mrs Love
Von Crockett
Mr Leatherman
Mrs Oink
Mr Ick-Pike
Verda Ver
Mr Water
Mr Fries
Mr Ball
Freddy Moody
Mrs Sweet
Ms Pickering
Mrs Young-Blood
Gay Newton
Mrs Bacon

so there you have the funny names i picked up over my month and week of working at minacs there was one more but it was a bit crude and as real as it was it wasnt something want to put here no mater if no one reads this or not.

I made two pretty good friend while working at minacs I'm not over surprised that once i stopped working there i wouldn't hear from them again. it was one of those work related friends, which was fine for me , b/c i figured i'd be working there until we moved again. So now I'm not only jobless but friendless again as well. so that sucks too. No real surprise though, life goes on, weather I'm ready for it to or not.

so this is me for today I guess, take it how you like, i hope your life is more interesting then mine.
