Unemployment, Interviews, and the dictator Tuesday, May 09, 2006

Dear me and whoever else is listening,

 The meeting with unemployment went pretty well the lady advised me that my former job the phone company wouldn't have to pay me a dime because my previous job that fired me would. She went on about how it works and etc and I just feel like I will most likely get approved it helps also to know that I don't need to jump through any hoops of fire to convince anyone my previous job did me wrong. The mediator for unemployment explained I wasn't even at my last job long enough for them to decide I wasn't a good worker. I was only there for what a little shy of three months! Which is some companies is the training period. So...I feel slightly hopeful about that.

  I am a bit nervous about the interviews I have lined up for this week. I don't know if I am "ready" to interview tomorrow and this job tomorrow I really want especially since it's in Indiana. I hated commuting on the toll road and etc through illinois to get to work it was a nightmare. I also feel like this job would be really exciting for me especially since it's in sales which I have experience in then the whole management part which I want so badly. Oh...and not to mention their office hours are 8-4:30 monday through friday which is totally sweet. I could be home by five everyday!

The job interview that I have on thursday I am almost certain I won't get especially since I have no idea how to construct a budget let along one for a fortune 50 company. Part of me doesn't even want to travel all the way past downtown Chicago  to go to this stupid interview. I can't even believe the people called me in the first place! I mean a job answering to the vice president directly...darn...I am so nervous! I just want a good job. No let me be specific.

I want a job with the following:

Great benefits, All weekends and holiday's off, pay 55 to 120grand a year, a few boss's maybe one or two that I rarely see, a team of people reporting to me maybe 30 to 50.

Management/Trainer/or instructor....I don't want a sales representative job. I do NOT want to be a customer service representative. I feel like I should at least get a job that pays 50 a year. I owe more than that in student loans and back taxes!

Besides, if my resume says I was a coporate trainer, or manager I should get those type of positions and interviews at least. 

The dictator:

kneizer and I are having it out about his wanting me to do yard work all day while he's at work.  He keeps insisting that I should be outside working like he's the boss and I'm the worker. Almost everything that comes out of his mouth these days are instructions on how I can do something better, or in a different way. I text messaged him a little while ago and told him that he isn't sensitive to my situation and maybe I should go visit a friend or something for a few days.

 I wish he could leave the house for a few days and let me be here alone so, I can prepare for my interviews. His insisting I should be doing yard work is annoying! It is times like these I wish we never got married and I still lived on my own...but, of course I couldn't afford to live on my own so that's dumber than it sounds.

 Anyway,...more than anything I wish I could be alone right now.  At first, he was a motivating factor in my looking for a better paying job. I wanted the both of us to be able to afford all the things that I could afford for us when I worked at the phone company. But...now...he's stressing me out and suggesting I put everything in front of my job search and I don't understand that.

 

 Sincerely,
me
