Job applications

Sep20

I am talking today because  I just filled out an application to get a part time job at a craft store. Not only did I have to fill out the application but I had to be tested. This company  gives you 10 minuets to complete this. You would have to be a genius to complete it in the time allowed.

What happened to the good old days when you worked for a company and you worked your way up. You learned every part of the business so you can grow with the company. Not only were you reliable hardworking, but you didn’t need to be educated  by a Ivy league college,You only had to do your job ,do it well accurately and give it your 110% . Do your job well and you were appreciated for everything you did and that is how you got the promotion you wanted. Actions spoke louder than the words on your application. Why is it that companies hire  through temp agencies instead of hiring themselves. Of course there is no risk you can dangle someone around for years without any benefits attached. You come in one day and the company says bye we don’t need you any more without hesitation. There is no loyalties in this world when companies are involved . Doesn’t matter how much family time you missed because you had to work. life is short these days and companies have become vicious and unfeeling all they want is to drain the life out of you and if you don’t abide your dispensable. Remember the days you got a 3 month trial period? If  you were good you got the job if you weren’t  See Yah!!

I have worked in business from learning everything in the warehouse from,pulling, packing , shipping,receiving,quality control,returns,and eventually Customer service specialist. I am a hard worker,reliable,friendly dependable and a quick learner. Why is so hard to find a part time job . I know I am in the same boat with many others. That is why I am just talking. Society needs to get back to the basics. We need to start taking chances on people who are down on their luck or having a hard time finding a job because they are over or under qualified.  We need to start putting our faith in to people again. We need to get back the humanity in this world and find away to work as a team.

All Grown up

Sep5
Did you ever wake up in the morning and wonder where the years have gone. I did this morning. when I signed into my work computer and there it was, a reminder,a screen saver of my 3 boys all dressed up for Halloween . My little Ninja, my cowardly cute lion and my tiny sweet baby  playing with a pumpkin bigger than him. Wow! what a reality check that was for me. As a mother you spend all your time caring for  your family, making sure everyone has everything they need, providing emotional support, cleaning the house, PTA meeting, parents open house ,ice cream socials ,book fairs, you get my drift.Then Bang !!! All of a sudden it’s all gone and it’s just you. Your kids are all grown up.

Reality has set in once again your children don’t need you like they use to. Now when you try to help them  the words that come out of their mouth is I’m 18 years old  I can take care of myself. Those little darling you invested your heart and soul in  can do it themselves.  It’s hard for a mom to hear but then you realize it’s a good thing to hear because it just means you raise a strong, independent, confident man.You realized  you lost yourself  and your dreams in

in the process of raising them.Well I say it’s time for me and you  to start finding ourselves again. I believe my boys will need mom once again  when they have their own children. Then the reality will begin again, it would be wonderful and those old days will be relived with  and through grandchildren.
