I Don't Even Know You...

     So, I started my new job February 13th and since that day I have loved my new job. I now work at Performance Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in the sales department. Since the first day of training I met this girl I now work with, her name is Cat.

     Cat is at least 3 times my size. Nice girl, but has a morbid sense of humor and an awkward personality. She is always negative usually with nothing nice to say. Anyway, since the first day of training she has told me my boyfriend was drop dead sexy. Okay, I shrugged that one off and took it as a compliment. No biggie. But then it kept coming... she has told me this repeatedly.

     About a month ago she has asked me for a ride almost everyday to and from her car. From employee parking. Lazy.

     On almost a daily basis she demands I go to lunch with her and to tell my boyfriend to "piss off." Um. . . No.

     There has been at least two occasions where I have spotted her for lunch or numerous 20 ounce bottles of pop. No more.

     About a week ago, she asked me if I would co-sign on a car lease for/with her. Two things wrong with this: 1. She's being evicted from her apartment and sued for the amount of rent she owns. Which means she can't make payments. This would literally eff up my credit. 2. If she was unable to make a payment and I got stuck with the payment, that bitch (car) would be mine.

     Just yesterday she asked if I would help her move her shit from her old apartment to her new apartment. I said "No, I was busy" and she then had the nerve to ask if she could borrow my truck... Um. Again. Hell No. 1. You are not insured under my truck, let alone at all. 2. I don't like paying for extra gas that I don't get to use. 3. I just don't trust anyone other than me driving my truck. Especially if I'm not present.

     This girl has missed several days of work because she is "exhausted." We all are bitch, it's called life. She goes home early all the time which pisses me off...

     She also tells everyone to do everything for her. Examples: Go get the key and I will. Go get me a pop. Go get the car and I'll meet you out there. Go smoke with me. Go get the number for this car, grab the key and come pick me up.

     Just absolutely lazy as can be. I am getting sick of her shenanigans. It's getting old. People like this should be treated special. And I don't mean in a good way. Ugh.

    After all this and I don't even know her full name. . .

My New Job... May Be A Career ???

     I know it's been a while since I last blogged but I have been super busy with my new job.

     A few weeks ago I was complaining about not getting a response from people that I have applied with. Well, with all that frustration I checked my email frequently and in doing that I found that I received an email from a company about my resume online.

     I have previously received a few of these so yes, I had to check it and see if it was legit. Surprise! It was.

     I got an email from Performance Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram telling me that I had exactly what they were looking for. At the time, I was speechless. I couldn't figure out where they got this information from or whose resume they were actually looking at...

     So I took a shot at it. I went in and went through the interview and got accepted. Yay me! So next, the group of us went through mini-training. A week of weeding through the best of 'em then we had our final interview. Turns out one of the men interviewing me went to high school with me. He graduated 2 years before me. Small world. Any who... passed that and began phase 3. Official training.

     I have been on the floor officially 3 weeks now. The first two were mainly learning product knowledge. Which I have learned a lot but there is still so much more to learn. It's crazy but lots of fun. I started actually helping people and actually selling cars the middle of last week. I got my license to sell and I have been taking every advantage I can.

     I have sold 2 cars already and I am not stopping. It is such a rush... I love making these people happy and finding exactly what they need and giving them the best deal I can.

     My first customers bought a 2012 Dodge Durango Citadel. Ah-mazing! They loved it and I don't think they could've gotten any more excited about it... It felt great... This is what it looks like:


     My second customer bought a pre-owned from Performance. It was a 2005 Ford F150 Supercab Lariat. In almost excellent condition. Also had a bed-liner. Great truck. Great deal.

     Any way. These people left completely happy and thrilled about their new vehicles. I think I may have found a job that I FINALLY enjoy. I get to talk to people, drive new vehicles, and potentially make them all happy when they drive away in their new vehicles. I really enjoy what I do. Maybe I found the job for me...  :)

Valentine's Day 2012 :

     So last year for Valentine's day my boyfriend was so sweet to me. He got me a ring. A very beautiful ring. :) It's got a diamond in the middle of two sapphires. on the front there is a small sapphire sitting in the middle underneath the diamond on top. On the other side there is a diamond sitting in the middle underneath the diamond on top. I will add pictures later for a better understanding. Either way, it's breath-taking. Gorgeous!

     This year, since we both just started a new job, we decided to go easy with Valentine's Day. We went to work and when we got home we both departed from the house and went our separate ways. When I returned home there was a beautiful display of orchids sitting on the table with a heart shaped box of chocolates. Baby did well this year. :)






     Baby got a house full of pink and red balloons last year along with cards and candy and the whole shi-bang. I also got roses last year. For dinner last year he took me to Malara's. Little hole-in-the-wall Italian place that is gorgeous on the inside and amazing food.

     This year we made dinner together after we switched gifts. Together we made angel hair pasta with a white wine sauce. This year I bought a bottle of Moscato to go with our pasta and it was amazing. I love Valentine's Day.



     Single people should not hate Valentine's day. It's not a hallmark/chocolate/candy maker made up day. It's a day to recognize love. You can love anyone. You can love your parents, friends, spouse, kids or strangers. You can show love without buying anything. If you wanted to you could ROCK Valentine's Day by yourself. Why not? There's no one there to tell you no or bum your mood.

     It's a day to party. Any reason is acceptable.

I Have To Pay YOU To Work Here ???

     I recently have attended several interviews in the past couple weeks. Mostly sales jobs that I refuse to work but I didn't know that at the time. I sat in 3-4 "presentations" for different companies. Throughout the whole presentation I listened intently and taking mental notes.

     They were all the same. After each presentation They would interview with us individually. In each and all after-interviews they would talk with us and tell us how the company works.

     The first company I interviewed with wanted me to pay $500.00 for kitchen utensils so I could then turn around and sell them to other people and actually try to make a profit. I should not have to pay money to start working for a company.

     The second company I interviewed with wanted me to pay them $499.00 for diet pills. And then this man had the nerve to tell me to start with my family and friends for profit. Like I'm going to walk up to my friends or family and tell them "Hey, I got some diet pills here, why don't you go ahead and buy some from me?" I don't think so. This man also told me that I would get my money back within the first week if I did well. I asked him if he would supply the money I did not receive back to me. He said "No, it doesn't work that way." So I had to part ways.

     The third company I interviewed with was an insurance company. I didn't quite make it through this interview because this company wanted $700.00 for schooling, $700.00 for licensing, and another $700.00 for training. They wanted $2100.00 dollars from me... Are you effing kidding me??? Seriously??? Wow. I can't believe this crap. I immediately stood up and said I'm not interested in this position and parted ways.

     Since I refuse to pay a company so I can start a job with them I walked out of all of these interviews saying "No thanks.". Ugh.

Did I Get It Or Not ??

     Sitting at home has gotten on my last nerve. I can't stand just sitting here doing nothing. For the past month I have been applying for jobs... everywhere. I must have applied to over 100 places so far.

     I spend my whole day looking at ads, searching the Internet or wasting gas that I don't have money for looking for a job. It's exhausting.

     You would think that when a company says "we will contact you shortly about your application." that they mean the WILL contact you. It's a lie. Not a little white lie either. This is a in your face, not subtle about it at all lie.

     With applying to over 100 places in the past month I have had 2 responses. TWO. They were both "We regret to inform you" letters but at least they notified me. This I respect.

     I have applied to all these places and somehow still don't have a job. This is unbelievable. the economy is not that bad to the point where I HAVE to be unemployed.

     Maybe you think this is my fault, maybe there is something wrong with me. I want you to know I have applied on line, submitted resumes, made phone calls, applied in person to places. I have even called places back that I applied at just to see if they have even looked at my apps. Most of them haven't.

     I have sent my resume to others to critique and change. I have edited my resume about 6 times now and still nothing. I am 23 years old. I have 7 years almost 8 years experience in the working environment.

     I have done serving, office work and retail. I have experience everywhere and apparently that's not good enough.

    Seriously though, I just want to know if I was accepted or rejected. An effing email is not hard to send out. I do it everyday all the time. Mostly to people like you... looking for a job. I email my resume to all these people and they can't take 2 minutes out of their day to let me know if they like me or not.

     Common decency people. Get some.

Dear Facebook,

     
         It's time that I be honest. I've been having an affair. It's name is Pintrest. It's fun, exciting and doesn't judge me. It's not you, it's me. I'm just not ready to settle down with one social network. I need adventure in my life and choosing one would just restrain me. I'm sorry but you have earned second place. If this is not good enough for you then we should just part our ways now. So Sorry,
                         Love,
                       Your forever FRIEND.

Just Sayin'

     So this morning when boyfriend and I wake up the first thing I ask him ... if you know me, you already know this. It was for some sexy time.


     He said no. Wtf? His response was "I don't have time." This was at around 8:30am ... he doesn't have to be at work until 10:30am. PLENTY of time.




     So he gets out of bed and goes to take a shower leaving me with blue balls in bed. 
:( So not cool.


     After his shower I decided to try again.   :) 




     He still said he didn't have time. It was now 8:50am. Wtf does a girl gotta do to get laid??? After he told me this he got dressed and went outside to smoke.





     WTF?? You can't tell me you don't have time to canoodle with me and then go outside for 10 minutes and slowly kill yourself.


     This is what went through my head when he did this:




     Smoking should NOT be more important than having sexy time with me. I'm sexy as hell, who would reject touching this??? Hm?? Not I.

20 Sensual Things To Do In The Tub

Another Cosmo article that I find interesting. 20 sensual things to do in the tub... Some of these are really good ideas, some are ... not.

1. After a hellish day, add a few drops of jasmine oil to your water - it's an aroma proven to dissolve tension.

2. Sink underwater so only your face is above. According to doctors, warm water dilates the capillaries in your body, increasing the flow of oxygen to your cells and making you feel calm.

3. Suck on an ice pop. The combination of the cool fruity flavor in your mouth and the hot water lapping at your body is tres magnifique.

4. Ditch the overhead light, and burn a few scattered candles. It'll create dusk like lighting that is super flattering and makes your body look fantastic.

5. Call your guy, and put him on speaker. He may not be able to see your naked body, but he'll hear the splashes and envision it.

6. Take a bouquet of roses that are starting to droop, tear off the petals, and throw them in. The water causes them to release oils that'll make your skin smell amazing.

7. Listen to the audio version of an erotic book on your iPod. That way you can get some steamy action without worrying about wetting the pages.

8. Squeeze some body wash onto your fingers, and rub the small indented area behind your ankle. You'll hit a pressure point that is believed to release feelings of pleasure through your body.

9. The kiddie brand of bubble bath, Mr. Bubble, is one of the foamiest. Strategically place some suds, and snap a bird's-eye-view pic to send your guy.

10. Drench a washcloth in the water, then lay it over your face for a few minutes - it can help unclog your pores and make your skin smooth.

11. Pick up a bottle of sparkling rose wine for your next bath. It's just sooo decadent to sip pink bubbly as you soak.

12. Does your tub have jets? Point them at your lower back - it's where women tend to hold most of their stress.

13. Put on some classical music. A study found these kinds of tunes can actually slow your heart rate.

14. Create a sauna in your bathroom: Before filling your tub, run just the hot water from your shower and shut the door. After about 5 minutes, the room will be filled with steam.

15. Grab a bath bomb, and add it to the agua once you're already in. The little bubbles it gives off will burst all over your body - stimulating!

16. Make the water exactly 99 degrees - you can check it with a thermometer. Doctors say that's the perfect temperature to get you totally relaxed.

17. Leave you cell in another part of the house. Having no distractions will let you fully enjoy the experience.

18. Get yourself a water-proof massager, and use it to smooth out knots in your neck.

19. Toss in half a cup of baking soda. The kitchen staple is the perfect addition to a wintertime bath because it re-hydrates skin that's dried out from cold, windy weather.

20. Spritz your man's cologne in the air before climbing in. Smelling his scent while you're wet will make you hot.

My New IPAD2

     So, my boyfriend, amazing as he is... got even more amazing. For Christmas I really wanted an IPAD2... seeing all those people in the commercials, it just wasn't fair. Some of my friends even have one but... they only have the IPAD. Not the IPAD2. :)

     When my boyfriend got back from Tennessee from visiting his family he put this cute little wrapped package on my lap. It was kind of heavy but I couldn't wait. Even though I had no idea what it was I carefully ripped it open.

And.

To my surprise.

An IPAD2 box was in my lap.


     I had to charge it the first day but man I had so much fun the next day!!!

     I was downloading apps like a mother effer!! It is sooooooo addictive!

     I have been getting so many apps lately it's crazy. Games, social things, useful and productive apps. Here's a list of my favorite apps so far:



     Best Christmas present ever! I love you boyfriend. Thank you!!!!!

How not to host an interview

     So I recently applied for a management position for a well known family restaurant. I won't name any names:


     But my application was accepted and they offered me a time to set up for an interview. My interview was scheduled for Monday, January 2nd at 2:00pm.


     I left my house 45 minutes early to get there early. Makes sense, yes. When I arrived they sat me in a booth and told me he would be there shortly. 



     Little did I know how LONG I would be waiting. A half an hour passed before one of the male servers came over and offered me a drink. So now I'm sitting in the booth with a drink for even longer.



     He finally showed up at 3:15pm (an hour and 15 minutes late mind you) to tell me something I already knew.


     He asked if I had a "management" resume. I had to email my resume with the application I filled out online. I specifically stated I had never held the title of a manager. Never had the position.


     He told me this and said that this was a problem. That I was not qualified for this position because I did not have a management resume.

     First of all, buddy, if you had actually READ my resume it clearly stated that I had not had the title of manager.

     Second of all, if you did read my resume, why would you accept it KNOWING I had no previous manager experience.

     Third of all, you could have made a simple phone call to me explaining this so I didn't have to drive half and hour to get there, an hour and fifteen minutes to wait for you to show up and half an hour drive back home.

     He asked if I was interested in a serving position... If I was interested in a serving position I would not have applied for the management position. I wanted to give him a piece of my mind.



     After he felt the need to do this to me I felt like being rude back so when he was asking again (just to make sure I guess) if I was interested in a serving position I cut him off mid-sentence and said "This interview is done." I got up and left him in the booth and just walked out. 

     How effing rude. This is obviously not a company you would like to work for. They are afraid to be upfront and honest, they obviously don't read resumes and if they do they are just accepting it to waste your time and irresponsible when it comes to hiring. 

     I have worked 2 serving jobs previously. I know how to fill out/do paperwork. I know how to make the schedule. I know what extra sidework has to be done. Let's just say I know the drill. Plenty of experience and knowledge. You have to start somewhere and apparently a lot of experience is not good enough.
