Sick

The questions is - Do I have the Flu or not?

Either way, its not the best weight loss program. I can't keep anything down and I feel like a bus ran me over. So, I am laying in bed with my dogs hoping for my husband to get off from work to take me the DR.

But what topped off my day was that I had a third round interview at 8am. No shower, had a 100 degree temp and the guy seem like a straight shooter and I couldn't read him at all. Well its between me and another candidate. Gosh, wish me luck.

What are you Thankful for?

This question is asked mostly this time of the year. However, I have reminded myself through out the year what I have been thankful for.

This year has been life changing and many events have happen. But I am mostlymost thankful for my husband Cody. He has been my rock, my support, a shoulder to cry on and the one to get me back on track. Even though, we did get married this year I think no matter what he would be right by my side the whole way.



WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR THIS YEAR?

Downtown

Well, I made it my first week downtown. Well I only worked Thursday and Friday. First day was a bit crazy, I was ready to take off running and I tried and took in so much information, that night I went to bed at 7:30pm with a awful headache.
Day two was better however, note to self - bring my office key home so I can get into my office the next day. Ha Ha. Yes, at times I am spacey.

This week I work four days so I will let you know how it goes.

Driven

Driven by so many things in my life at this time but the #1 one thing that is making me realize that I need to get up and dust myself off again and keep going.

I have this strong will to continue my career in HR. I enjoy helping people, explaining rules, understanding employment laws and meeting friendly people. However in this economy HR is not the field you want to be working in. The first place a company starts cutting is your HR department.

However, since mid July, I was contacted by a network friend to work with a seed corn company. They where the most down to earth and friendly people. The ladies I worked for thew so much as me and pushed me to learn this or that. Exposed me to many formal legal laws regarding HR. They would great! I knew going in to this job that this could be temporary or a full time job. The more I was there the more I prayed that they would keep me. However, sadly this past week I found that the Director found a external candidate that had more experience and choose to offer her the job. I was very disappointed but than I thought "Things happen for a reason" I learned a lot and I grew a lot professionally.

Two or three weeks ago, I was contacted by a friend (I worked with at PAI) that needed some temporary help and asked me if I could come in and work with her the rest of the year in her HR department. I told her I would have to wait for the outcome of my current temporary job. Which is now, ending tomorrow. I told her I would come and help her out.

The point of this blog was to let my thoughts out. I am DRIVEN, WILLING, and DETERMINED to get as much experience possible and take every chance I have to learn and run with it. I am VERY lucky that I have meet such great people that have contacted me and asked me to come and help their HR teams.

Even though, I would do anything to have a full time job, a place where I feel like I belong, somewhere I can grow, learn and take off with my career. But that isn't in my cards at this time. So, I blessed that everyone that I worked with in the past has enjoyed my work ethic and have asked me to come help them out. During that time, I am hoping the crazy economy gets better.

So, I am going to keep my head up high, a smile on my face and keep pushing through and my hard work will be notice and it will pay off at the end.

A good or a Bad thing?

We have great people that live around us. I never worry about leaving out of town and something happen to our home. But I wonder at times if the ladies that live around us have to much time on their hands or watch way to closely.

Back in February when I lost my job, the lady across the street came out and asked me if I got laid off because I was home during the day. I was shocked but replied yes.
Well, recently I was taking the dogs out to the bathroom and she rushed out as soon as I came out of my door and came over to my yard to ask me what time do I have to be at work. I was confused why she was asking but I answered 8am ish. She said "Oh, I notice that you have been leaving at 5:30 in the morning. I was shocked that she was up and watches me leave. I told her sometimes I like going to the gym early in the morning before work.

I should of told her that their was a another man......Just see her face.

So, no need to pay for a security system, just have people that live around you that have no life.

PICTURE THIS!!!

6 rolls of TP in ONE puppy that LOCKED HIMSELF in my husband closet for a good 30 minutes (thats how long it took Cody to figured out he was missing).

The WHOLE closed floor was covered in White Toilet paper everywhere!!!


Gotta Love my Baby puppy BO!

Tis the Season

Tis the Season to see Christmas advertisements. The Holidays are very close and that means that we spend money and eat alot.

But most important you get to spend time with Family and laugh about the little things.


Lets start the holidays and lets be thankful for the simple things in life!

Thanksgiving #1 2009

Can't pick you Family members only your Friends. I just found myself reminding myself that today during our annual Thanksgiving dinner.

So for Christmas and next year for Thanksgiving I need to......Drink and drink alot. Or make the whole experience short and stay away from the family member that DRIVES ME NUTS.

Why do some people make life so negative, when they have good health, a roof over their head and have a huge family to celebrate life with?
