Ghoulies are workin' out in July! (Page 9)

I hope they will listen to me better than the idiotic stupid inane County commissioners in this demented, back wood, hick, illiterate county of mine did. They are suggesting that we don't need libraries at all.

Morning Ann. It is gonna be hot here today, as well.

For the record - The low temp on Saturday in Lake Placid is 51, the high on Sunday is 79, the low on Sunday is 56. The is also a 30 percent chance of an isolated thunderstorm on Sunday afternoon.

Dang, that sounds wonderful.... except for the possibility of a thunderstorm. Hmmm, what could be happening there this weekend?

The Lake Placid Center for the Arts is open this weekend

THAT is what Dr Melindy is going to do there this weekend.

I wonder what show she is going to see.

I am sure it is Glen Miller. Maybe Peter and the Wolf as well.

Maybe they have a kids showing of The Little Engine That Could!

I hear that is playing all day on the 24th.

SWEET!

So here is the situation. I have a horrible, miserable, miserably horrible job. I have been trying to get out of it for 2 and a half years, basically since I got here.

I am currently 0/8 on interviews when I apply for a job. The past 3 jobs I have gotten is because someone sees my resume out on Monster or somewhere and calls me up and talks to me for a bit and then offers me a job.

There is a company that has a contract here that has been trying to hire me for a year. For one reason or another things haven't worked out. One of their people left a voicemail yesterday and I just called back. They have 2 positions open right now. One is here, but it would be working for a different group with different people. There would be some travel involved, and it would be mostly paper pushing. The other job is a little closer to home, though more traffic, and I would be a systems administrator, which is what I desperately want to do. The job here I could start immediately, the job at the other base won't be open until Sept 1. I can suck it up for 6 more weeks here.

The third fork in the fire is a job working for a company I know is reputable. One of my best friends works there and they are going to have a network administrator job open soon. She gave her boss my resume, and he gave it to the hiring manager who already contacted her about me. The job hasn't officially been posted yet so he can't contact me. She believes this may be a junior position, so it may not pay as much as the other 2, but she says I would have a great boss and really good co-workers, plus she would be there.

Here's hoping that something pans out in the very near future for me!!!

So worst case scenario is I'm stuck here for 5 more weeks. If I take the second job, the one I want, I would put in my resignation and be done Aug 24, be unemployed while I'm at Robin's, come back from NC, have a day off to relax, get the kids off to school for the first day, then start new job the next day. That would be the perfect end to summer vacation, don't you think?

I will keep all that I have crossed. Also send out some Ghoulie Ju-ju!

Thanks Robin. I really have to get out of here, you would not believe the level of BS that has been hit here lately.

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Giant pat on the back to you.

Hi Kendra.

I am out of here for the day. I am going to take a little jog on the dreadmill. I don't want to do too much because I need desperately to get better.

Have a great evening.
