I got the job at the staffing agency! So now I'm calling the other 2 places I have yet to hear from and let them know that they either need to shit or get off the pot. I'm excited because the one I got is my first choice! Base pay is more than enough + commission is the icing on the cake. It's a much more relaxed role than I'm in now, I get to ( Read more... )

So, I've decided that this is my last month at Clear Channel, for many reasons which I have outlined in past blogs, but I have a new one which makes this move so necessary... they cut our commission. This job is 100% commission and when I accepted it I was making 20% commission, if you consider that my average sales is about $3000 and I make 2-3 ( Read more... )

A good friend's grandmother died on Wednesday, so I spent the weekend in Boston helping the family. I knew that it was important that I go because she doesn't have very many friends up there (no real friends at all from what I saw), plus I've known the family for the past 10 years, I knew her grandmother well and have spent many nights on that ( Read more... )

My second interview at CH2M Hill seemed to go really well. I spoke to the president of the office in which I would work and he seemed really impressed with me. Something he said that I really liked was that he doesn't expect me to be in this position for the next 10 years, he likes to think of these support positions as stepping stones into the ( Read more... )

Had my second interview at California Tortilla today. It was nerve-racking! The two guys I met with were like robots, just spitting out questions and waiting for my answers and then usually disagreeing. It was sad because I really wanted the job, but it doesn't look like they really want me to have it! Whatever, I have another interview ( Read more... )

I have 2 second interviews next week. I find myself in quite the cunundrum (wish I knew how to spell) because one job is quite sucky but pays quite well and the other is quite awesome and pays quite sucky. Actually, it could be considerably worse pay, but not what I want. But, if I get the great job I'll take it, sucky pay and all. Anywho, I'm ( Read more... )

Before I begin, I know that Black and White should be capitalized all the time, but I'm too pissed off and typing too fast to keep capitalizing the shit, so deal ( Read more... )

First I would like to thank all of you who've shown me support since my online breakdown, it makes me feel better to know that I'm not just being a drama queen like I've been telling myself. So, thanks for being great friends ( Read more... )

I've been sick for about 3 months now. Not like throwing up, cold sweats sick, just really tired all the time, cranky, can't breath out of my nose sick. For those of you who haven't been counting, 3 months is how long I've been at the new job. At first I chalked it up to all the different germs in my new work environment. And then the weather ( Read more... )

I haven't read my journal for a while but I have a feeling that if I did read it, it would sound something like... wah, wah, wah, my life sucks, I'm a pathetic person and I'm fat, boohoo for me. So, let's not break the trend now, my life sucks. I actually can't think of anything good going on, which is ironic because I am now complaining that I ( Read more... )
