Ancestry

I've been using Ancestry.com to put mine and my husband's family tree together. WOW, one of his relatives goes back to the 900's! Of course, nothing is absolute, and it could not be true, but it lines up, so, I'm taking it.

My family name line only goes back, officially, to about 1779. Before that it is in England and I haven't found anything prior to this person.

So, for Father's and Mother's Day, I'm putting together binders for my in-laws to keep. Since it's my husband's family, and we have no children, they can decide who gets it, eventually.  My MIL 91 and my FIL is 96. We hope he makes it to 100, at least! That would be so AWESOME.

That's all for now.

I am SO frustrated. I know that there are thousands of people also looking for work, but wouldn't you think with ALL the looking and interviews that I've been on SOMEONE would hire me long term or permanent? I'm great at computers. Very friendly. Great work ethic. Had job stability (until I got laid off due to restructuring), still nothing!  I get "THIS CLOSE" and they give it to someone else. I'm hoping that by venting here (since no one's ever read this besides me anyway) that maybe something will come through now. If anyone ever sees this please keep me in your prayers. Thanks.

Waiting, Waiting, Waiting

YEAH, I have a temp job coming up but the place isn't "ready" for us yet. I'm waiting "patiently", but hurry up already...

Classes almost finished

Now, just to pass the tests! Still no luck on the job search!! Anyone out there need a Fantastic Admin Assistant? Uh, like ME??

Finally taking classes

I was approved by the powers that be to take the computer classes that I've been wanting. So, I took my first on on Tuesday and, since I live in the Midwest, we postponed the second one till Thursday. However, our driveway is STILL not plowed out, so, I missed it. (Yes, I CAN reschedule. My hubby will have to take ANOTHER vacation day waiting for the people to come. Yes, I really do understand they are busy, but just give me a realistic time you'll be here. Not 2-3AM!!!

Interview, I believe, went well

The interview, I believe, went well. I also have a possibility for a contract position, in another company IF the FT position doesn't come through. Looks like things are FINALLY opening up. YESSS!!!

Job interview

Whoo Hoo! Job interview this Thursday. Wish me luck!!

There are days I just want to scream!

No matter how you tell someone that they need to watch HOW they talk to you; and not DOWN to you, not sure if they are ever going to "get it".

Just sayin'!

I think I can actually SEE my sink

I washed the dishes! Yahoo!!

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

The Sorcerer's Apprentice was AWESOME! If you like that type of movie, you'll LOVE IT! So, when's the DVD come out?

Not much

Got up. Checked computer for current job listings. Donated blood. It clotted so they couldn't use it. Maybe next time will work better. Went to the store. Bought a few things. Came home. Emptied dishwasher. Turned A/C up. Filled dishwasher. Ate lunch in there somewhere. Rented NEW MOON from Redbox. Watched it. Guess I'm the wrong demographic. It seemed REALLY, REALLY slow to me. Maybe ECLIPSE is better? Ate dinner. Now at the computer. Will watch TV. Will then go to bed.

Tomorrow.. Get up and will actually complete the on-line job application I started. I have to first write down a timeline of jobs, dates, pay, etc. You'd think that having been off work since March, 2009 I'd have had that done Noooooo. zzzzzz

Oh, Brother!

I specifically state, on my FaceBook page, that it would be fun to describe me using the THIRD letter from your FIRST name. What does MY brother, Thomas do? He says, DEMOCRAT. Fine, I am, but that wasn't what was asked and he says it doesn't say that. I give up. Yeah, he's my brother, I love him, BUT, do I HAVE to LIKE HIM???

Same Day, Second Post

Suuuurrrrre, I saved the first post. Was actually going to continue it. But, since I'm so new to this, I didn't know how to continue writing on it. Therefore, same day, second post.

Do you ever just want to shut the world away and not talk to ANYONE? Especially if the person calling you want to keep talking about the SAME subject, just different aspects of it! I'm sorry, but it's Sunday. I'll worry about being unemployed and the prospects of a job and of the unemployment situation here in the U.S., and my unemployment especially, TOMORROW! Now leave me alone so I may continue to watch TV, wash the clothes, eventually run the dishwasher etc. and I'l think about it tomorrow.

Thank God I have a husband who has a job, with benefits and loves me completely. Oh, we have 5 cats too! And, Thank You God for his employer LOVING him too!!!

So, this is what you need to do to start blogging...-

I never, in a million years thought I'd ever blog. In fact, if anyone ever finds this and actually reads it, I'll be shocked! So, with that said. I'm going to go have lunch now.
