What is on your mind - Page 297

UofMfan · 05-23-2011, 08:21 PM

Today I interviewed 8 people. It is one of the many things I do.

While interviewing one of the candidates, who came in and greeted me in English to make a good first impression, I asked him to tell me a little bit about himself, he decided to share with me how conservative and religious he is. He did not stop there, he should have. It is amazing how clueless some people are.

He will not be getting a call back. Besides, his English was not anywhere near the level needed for this wonderful job opportunity he just messed up.

He is only 28, and that is what is on my mind.

I said I wouldn't be baking this year till Christmas time.

but I will be making cookies this week

the co workers are getting sad and well more sad

So I will make the cookies (oatmeal with/without raisins)

Mostly to make them happy
Partly to make them stop whining
and
they are Corkey's favorites and we can mail some to our "son"

moxie · 05-23-2011, 09:41 PM

I'm kinda in a situation because I need to educate myself about the disparities of the area but it's very dire and depressing and I wanna stop and don't want to go but I really need to go. 52 days.

dixie · 05-23-2011, 09:50 PM

The fact that my class schedule is totally screwed up. When they changed me over from online to onsite, it totally crammed everything up. On Tuesdays, I pretty much have classes from 9:30am until 7:40pm, with about an hour to grab some lunch. That means I will have just enough time to drive to campus after working 3rd shift, then just enough time after class to drive back to work. There will be no going home at all on Tuesdays. How the heck did that happen?? I've already checked and there's no way to re-adjust it since the summer schedule is so scarce. I am not pleased. Not pleased at all.

And, and, and... Planet friends too, huh?

This is nice that you are going to make Corkey's favorites!

amiyesiam · 05-23-2011, 10:34 PM

the thought has wondered through my mind that

supplying one planet being with cookies could create a cookie nightmare

perhaps I will send some to the reunion
Medusa and June could share them with everyone

A Celebration This Weekend. I am back home after

Today will be the last day of a 3 month long special assignment at work. No more.

No more 3 hours a day commuting to a Resident Post. No more 15 hour work days.

No more working with Drusilla at this outpost.

No more missing my swimming and jacuzzi before I leave for my own office (only 5 minutes away), or when I get home.

No more. And , I did not volunteer. I was 'Selected" for this adventure...

Retirment shall be my next plan, Or , buying a lotter ticket. Hmm ..** about the same chances in hell

FlowerFem · 05-24-2011, 07:44 AM

It's so nice to be back around my "peers". The maturity level the professional respect. Much less stressful.

RockOn · 05-24-2011, 08:45 PM

A friend and her upcoming surgery in a couple of weeks. She is in a great deal of fear and I am getting very squirrely (nervous) about it too but will not let her see it in me. I am no good for her in terms of support if she sees my anxiety. Wish it was already over for her. There's nothing terminal healthwise connected to the surgery but it is very complex.

I keep asking the Good Spirit to be with her and comfort her ... and on surgery day, to guide the surgeons hands to provide the very best outcome for her.

This

is for her.
I love her.
And another one for her too.

Best I got at this time.

Strappie · 05-24-2011, 09:12 PM

Tonight I sat and read a few things on Facebook in reguards to Gay Marriage. As some of you may know Minnesota is in a huge debate over same sex marriage. I watched a video tonight and it brought tears to my eyes knowing that some people really do want to set the entire country back 40 yrs. Back to when women couldn't vote and black's had to sit in the back of the bus.

SHAME on those AMERICAN'S! It's today more than anything we need to take a stand!! Stand up for your RIGHTS!!

PLEASE WATCH this....

Softly · 05-24-2011, 09:14 PM

:/ sad and tired... :/

Queerasfck · 05-24-2011, 09:21 PM

I'm done with people asking for donations. Pay for my wedding, pay for my move. Save your money. I need mine. My truck needs new brakes, I don't see anyone offering to pay for it.

Hmmmm maybe I should start a website for it!

end//rant///

dixie · 05-25-2011, 11:39 PM

I'm exhausted. My brain is fried from the amount of papers and essays I've written in the last 2 days. I'm at work where I normally can nap if clients are in bed but unfortunately my only current client, well, scares the shit outta me. She claims that she is fine but I can see the unmedicated schizophrenia as clear as day. She is continually hallucinating and is trying to horde things to use as weapons for "protection" against the "people running through the bushes". Not saying she is dangerous, not saying she isn't. I just know the previous experiences we have had in these situations here at work (i.e. a lot of attacks on staff, even one with a screwdriver once, and the one who bit me and tried slamming my head into the ground). I really don't want to fall asleep, just in case. It bothers me that we are not better equipped to deal with persons with mental illness and also persons with addiction issues, because we tend to see both quite often. Usually, if the illness or addiction is severe and untreated, we have ended up in situations where law enforcement has to get involved and they usually still go without help. It's sad, because these ladies have been thru enough, just in getting out of their abusive situations. Also, as much as I love my job I love my sense of peace and (relative)sanity more. I'm tired of looking over my shoulder, whether it be clients or mutinous coworkers. I need to figure out a way to take this position to something or somewhere a little more subdued. I am submitting multiple resumes for various related positions, so we'll see how it goes.

Everything and nothing.

LipstickLola · 05-26-2011, 08:55 AM

My dear mother is on my mind really heavily this morning. Today is her post chemo PET scan, 'remission' is on all our minds and hearts. She has been the epitomy of strength during this most difficult time with her disease and agressive treatments.
Oh to be one third the woman she is!!

I love you momma
