Ahhhh Vacation

Our trip here at Florida has been very relaxing. We really haven't went site seeing or what not but we have relaxed and laid by the pool and took walks around the hotel every night. Yesterday I went to the gym which was very relaxing and than head to the pool to relax and read.
However, no matter how much sunscreen I put on I am RED today. There is a chance of rain this afternoon so I will stay in and read my book and relax.

Our Hotel is in a business corporate technology park so there isn't much around to go shopping and ect. However, we walk to restaurants near by for lunch and dinner. Yesterday as we are walking by for lunch Cody said "hey look over in the bushes". I look over and there is a hut with a bed made with road signs build around a hut. A HOMELESS PERSONS HOME.

WELCOME TO FLORIDA

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.

Bail Out

"I got my Bail Out"

This was just put out this past week. Its a few miles away from my home on a busy 4 lane street through Noblesville/Fishers area. I just laughed at the sign and had to take a picture of it for everyone to see.

My Last Day........

Yes, this is my last day to be a house wife.

What should I do?

Play with the dogs?
Do extra cleaning?
Workout extra?
Take a nap?
Finish reading my book?
Pick out outfits for the next two days?

P.s. For ones that don't know......I GOT A JOB. Only took me 6 months..haha

I start tomorrow at 8am.

REALLY?!?!

I heard on the news during the month of June the U.S. lost over 400,000 jobs. REALLY?!?!
I thought we was leveling out. I guess I was wrong.

Also, I heard as well that 1 out of 10 Hoosiers are out of work due to the recession. I can name 10 including myself that has lost their job due to the recession.

So I guess I better start counting my pennies from my Mrs. Piggy bank just in case it gets worst.

I need to buy a Lottery Ticket

Its my lucky day.....

A. I had a interview with a company downtown Indy - it went real well....so easy and it didn't seem hard at all.

B. I came home to a email from a company in Warsaw that wanted to set up a interview. However, the company is 2 hours away from my home so I had to turn it down

C. Later in the afternoon the company I interview with earlier called and asked for a 2nd interview for tomorrow afternoon.

D. I check my email again and another company wanted to set up a interview with me and to contact them with some times that I would be open.

The Economy must be turning around or something.

Unemployment

I join the world of Unemployment back in February when my company closed their doors. They first laid me off a week before I left for Las Vegas to get married and then when I got back my boss was trying to get me back to work. However, we all got a call early Friday morning on February Friday 13th that at 5pm we would be closed for good. (Thanks for the heads up).

So, the reason for the blog was to welcome everyone that is unemployed and wish everyone luck on finding a new career or job.

At first I wasn't worried because I was going to organized my life as a new wife, paint a few rooms in my house, clean out closets that needed to be cleaned, finish building our patio outside. Well, now 4 months later that's been done for about 2 months ago and I am still sitting around applying for jobs and ran out of money and things to do.
