Give Me Back My Five Bucks

A woman from my old job just called me – they still haven’t hired anyone for my position yet – and word on the street is that they’re not going to hire anyone so that they can see how much work my ex-boss can actually do (which is basically nothing). Their annual reviews are this month, so it’ll be interesting to see what happened. Anyway, she wants to hire me on a contract to train someone internally how to update the website using the FTP server. She said that it would be during the evenings so it won’t take away … Continue reading →

Well, it’s been 1.5 weeks, and I haven’t heard back from the dream job yet, so I’m assuming I didn’t get selected for the second round of interviews. They said if I was chosen, I’d hear back within a week. It’s really disappointing, because I have the skills and the experience – but with jobs like that with companies like that, it’s really all about who you know. So, no worries. I’ve got a great new job, and in the meantime I’ll just keep plugging away and keeping my eye on the job board with that company. I don’t expect … Continue reading →

Well, this morning I e-mailed the President (and the Controller). The President wanted a written statement from me about what happened on Friday. Luckily, I had saved the e-mail that started the entire thing – because as soon as I got home Friday afternoon, my e-mail profile was already disabled! Anyway, he wants me to come in for an exiting interview. I have about 4 or 5 typed pages I was going to send in lieu of an interview, but I think this is the better way to go. I told him that I have no problem coming in to … Continue reading →

Wow. Yesterday was a complete gong show at work. Censored recap: my boss lost it and freaked out at me and another coworker in front of everyone. He yelled and screamed and made us cry. He got sent home by the President. And we were allowed to quit and leave on the spot (the President said that we shouldn’t have to deal with being in a tense and uncomfortable environment, and he didn’t want us to be treated so poorly for another week). We will both get paid out for next week, and chances are my boss is going to … Continue reading →

OMG!!! I just got an interview for my DREAM JOB with my DREAM COMPANY. *faints* ***EDIT*** I just had the phone interview with them. I wasn’t going to go through with it because the job is in another province, but after talking to BF, he convinced me to do it. It’s easier when you have someone supporting you. The interview itself? I felt very confident. Usually I have some doubt in my mind when it comes to interviewing, but this position I know I can do. I have the perfect skill set (not by coincidence, I’ve been tailoring my experiences … Continue reading →
