Things are going pretty well for me and hopefully, I should have a job sometime in the next week or two. I had an interview on Tuesday and a phone interview on Wednesday both with staffing companies. I'm waiting to hear back on Tuesday's interview to see if it turns into a 2nd interview. For the phone interview, I had a face to face interview today at the staffing company. I think that it went pretty well and it sounds like it may be a job offer. I had another interview yesterday with a financial group as a recruiter and I have a final interview with the president of their company next week! I'm really hoping to hear something soon!!!!!
Also, dh and I have discussed this, and I am going to be placing a call to EEOC (Equal Employment) and put a claim against my old company. After talking about "where everything went wrong" I really feel as if they discriminated against me from when I had my surgery and was dealing with all of my follow-up and treatment plans (for those who don't know, I had my thyroid removed back in August. It turned out, that there was a malignant tumor on the right side....good news is that I am healthy now!) I'm not interested in getting my job back, I just don't want it to happen to someone else, kwim?

How do these people survive??
As Bill Engvall from Blue Collar TV would say, "Here's your sign!"
You have to question yourself and say, "How do these people survive?"
1. Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.
2. I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider," looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.
3. A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."
4. I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."
5. Several years ago, we had an Intern who was not too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper" the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.
6. I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.
7. My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"
8. Police in Radnor, Pa., interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.
9. A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and should be fine, the mother says, I just gave him some ant killer..... Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency!
"Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid."

The picture above...
Is of our nephew...who is 9 months old. I was over there eating dinner and he was VERY interested in Daddy's beer bottle...he was very focused on it.
Daddy wanted to see what would happen if he actually give him the beer bottle...scary enough...it was quite a hit.
And...were his mommy and auntie appalled by daddy's actions.....nope.....we pulled out the digital cameras!
I'm sure this kid is destined for therapy!

It's been awhile
Since I've posted here...oops. I have no good excuse, despite the fact that I didn't have enough time!
Well, now I have some time, alot more than before. As of last Friday, I was let go from my job. I was let go for quite a strange reason, but as I've thought about it more and more, I can't help wonder if in some ways, they did me a favor. Now, I can find a job that treats their employees hopefully a little nicer and don't make one feel guilty if you have a medical condition and need to rearrange work schedules because of doctor's appointments. Or if you can't work a full day because you may have some medical restrictions, that they actually understand instead of making you feel guilty.
So, anyone want to hire me??
