KACKY's Journal

Hi all!  I am soooo sorry that I have not been on lately.  Lots going on with the house, work, Jimmy's school and our trip coming up.  I will be refreshed when I'm back from my trip and start making these life long changes that are needed now before my life really gets outta hand.  I do so much better with structure and schedule and lately there has been none of that, kinda like a free for all.

My day off is tomorrow cuz Jimmy is off for Professional Development Day for Teacher's, gotta love those teachers for having days off even though they get the whole freakin summer off while us working women are working year round.  Don't understand but then they have off Monday for Columbus Day so a 4 day weekend for us well except Jim, he gets home Friday at 7pm and then has to start midnights and leaves for work on Saturday at 5pm, so really not a day off for him and then works till Wednesday morning and then we leave for Disney on that Thursday.  He will  have worked 132 hours - OMG, he will be ready for vacation!!!

I will catch up with everyone today and follow up on this weekend and Monday as well to get all caught up before I'm gone for a whole week!

I have been working on my resume and posted on Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com.  I actually was asked for a meeting either Friday or Monday for the AFLAC company - yes the DUCK, hee hee.  I requested some additional info as far as duties, hours, and pay before I go to the interview cuz I don't want to waste my time or theirs ya know.

Work has been slow of course and trying to hold on but if things don't pick up by end of year I am deff. outta here and want to start looking now to see what's out there.  I'm excited but nervous since I've been here over 10 years and so much has changed with the interviewing process, I feel lost and confused!

I'm sure I will do fine and have lots of experience to offer even though I don't have the degree, hopefully companies look at the experience instead of education since some of us couldn't afford to put ourselves thru school.  I did go to Robert Morris College, maybe you heard of it before, and took a Travel & Tourism Certificate class but afterwards found out that that industry did not pay well and decided to just start out working in an office and worked my way up. 

I have been doing this type of work for 16 years basically.  But being here at this company I feel wasted since I can not move up or learn more.  I want more, I want to learn more!

So that is that and trying to make my life better and stronger.

Hugs to all and wish you all the best and have a wonderful weekened!!!!!

Hugs,

Kathy
