i have been fighting a cold for a few days now and today it got the best of me. i didn't get up til noon, and i think i passed out on the couch last night around 10:30 before joe got me up to go to the bed. then evo, my new puppy, kept waking me up last night so i didn't feel very rested at 2AM when i put her in the living room. she proceeded to whine most of the night and at 7:30AM i had to bring her back in the bedroom with me. i was glad she let me rest. i guess she was just lonely in there all by her self. i haven't been sick since last june and forgot how horrible you can feel when you are ill and have absolutely no energy and a chest full of mucous. i wanted to take evo walking along the lake this afternoon, as it's such a lovely day with a wonderful breeze and fluffy clouds in the sky. but that will have to wait til another day.
i went on another interview yesterday. an rv center in seffner called me back for a different position. i'd interviewed for an hr assistant position a few weeks ago, and the recruiter called me yesterday to let me know they had a sales assistant position open that they thought i would fit into. so i interviewed with the department head. she proceeded to tell me the job was redundant and that she thought i would be bored. she also thought i was overqualified. but she took up an hour of my time asking me 'situational questions' until i was blue in the face from answering them. then, like a salesperson, i asked her what was keeping her from hiring me on right then and there. she said she had several interviews scheduled this week and that she had another candidate in mind. why waste my time? why? i love how companies treat their entry-level positions as the most valuable positions in their organization during interviews, when they know those positions are the pits, and that the person in that position will take all the crap, do all the dirty work and get paid shit for it. and did i mention there are NO jobs in lakeland? none. zip. zilch. i have applied for everything under the sun with no response. grrr.
