I had an interview on Wednesday for an Exec Asst to the plant manager at the local Alcoa plant and this morning I had an interview for an exec asst at a local non-profit that works with abused and at-risk youths.
The interview Wednesday was so-so. The people were nice enough, but I didn’t really click [...]

The jobs done. I left a little before noon on Thursday. They said I could take whatever time I needed to job hunting so I took them at their word. Technically, I’m on the payroll until Tuesday (the 15th), but Val was making Thursday his last day, and they’d already taken both of us out [...]

Sorry guys. No update for a couple of days. All this stress has obviously weakened the immune system, cuz I’m sick as a dog. Some kind of summer flu or something. It’s 80 degrees here and I spent the day under my heating blanking *laughs…coughs…wheezes…chokes*
Ack…back to bed for me. Maybe [...]

Lay off as of August 15. 15 days notice, no severence, nothing.
If my stomach could tolerate it, I’d go home and get drunk.

I’ve probably mentioned here somewhere before that my mother was the primary abuser in our household. Daddy was an alcoholic, but he was always good to [...]

I sent out 51 letters on Saturday to doctors in my county and the neighboring one. I got several immediate responses from doctors who only called to tell me that what I wanted was dangerous (*expletive deleted* doctors). However, last night I got a very nice e-mail from a doctor who agrees that there is [...]

So, I told you the boss is leaving. Well, they are going to make the Associate Director the Interim Director for at least a year. It’s possible if she does well, she’ll eventually be offered the Director position. Anyway, she has a secretary already, and I’m pretty sure she’ll want to keep her. So, my [...]

The boss is leaving. The university wouldn’t take the step organizationally that he needed for them to take, so he’s taking the offer out of Chicago. What that means for me is hard to say. They will probably make the associate director the interim director, and she says they tend to leave those in place [...]
