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 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.
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.
