Coconut m&ms? Say what?

 

[Squirrly]

yummy new limited edition ones in a white bag. no coconut flakes, just the flavoring. they also have strawberry peanutbutter ones that are equally addicting

Rough morning, sunnyd?

 

[sunnyd]

I haven''t been sleeping well the last week. It''s really weird! It''ll take forever to fall asleep though I''m butt tired then I wake up an hour before my alarm pumped and ready to go. I don''t get it.

How are you today?

Blah. That sucks. When I''ve been sleepy badly, I go for the Sominex.

I''m pretty OK. Interview tomorrow (EEEE!

) and getting ready to move. Also looking forward to Vegas over Labor Day!

Man. What an action packed life I have lately! Vegas, Moving, Wedding, Honeymoon. I''m super cool right now.

 

[sunnyd]

Soooo super cool...

That is exciting though! Good luck on your interview, what''s it for?

Haha. Cool and broke.

I''m going to be honest.. I don''t even know. LOL. I think it''s a customer servicey/administrative type position. Nothing I really wanted. I sent out like 80 resumes, and I''ve gotten one call back. That''s it. Basically I''m not even super keen on getting the job, but I''m interviewing to A) Get some practice interviewing in B) See if there''s any potential in the job. If it pays more money (I''m thinking 3-4 thousand more a year than I currently make) and/or has a lot of room to grow (my current job has none - I''m stuck) I might take it if it''s offered. Any more money right now would be fantastic.

I don''t really need dust or anything, since I''m not dying to get the job.

 

[sunnyd]

Fine then I won''t waste it. LOL! 3-4K extra is a lot though, so that would be worth it to me.

Dude I''m so tired of my job...problem is that it''s the greatest company I could ever work for. Makes it impossible to leave! I have my name in to transfer to a different department, but business is down so who knows how long it''ll take! Meanwhile my sup has noticed how unpleasant I''m becoming. Hahaha. And two warnings about internet usage at work. Yet, here I sit, online. Kill me now...

Definitely 3-4K more would be worht it.

I''m with you on being sick of your job, but working for a great company. What department would you want to transfer to?

LOL... get off the internet before you don''t have a job to complain about!

 

[sunnyd]

Well right now I''m working at the corporate office, and I want to go work at the branch, get down in the trenches. They just need to take me!

 

[misskitty]

Just popping in to say hi! Busy day -- just had a 2nd interview at that NPO (hoping I get it!) and now I''m off to volunteer. Hope everyone''s weekend went well. I''ll drop in later on to read up on what''s new with the LIWs

[Lauren8211]

I just got back from the job interview. I''m not too keen on getting the job if they offer it. It doesnt pay much more, if at all.

Bummer. Well, interview experience is ALWAYS a good thing, so no harm no foul. Something will come along!

You started packing yet?

Yeah. The only upside is that there is room to grow... which I don''t have right now. She asked how much I made, so she''s going to have to offer above what I make now, or its not worth it. Also upside, flexible hours/casual dresscode... meaning I can wear jeans to work.

I guess I''ll worry about it once I get an offer, if I get one.

Yeah, I kind of viewed it as practice.

No... ugh.. I haven't started. I know, I know... I need to get on that!

 

[misskitty]

Hope you get an offer, and that they do bump up the pay. Room for growth + more money sounds better than the status quo, even if it''s not super ideal.
