SO....me being me and today being that kind of DAY....

I told her thank you but I don't see it working for me....and proceeded to correct her spelling. Bad energy abounded. And it was fewer hours than I have now anyway. Thanks. I will PASS..

I don't think that it's the job of any person or agent to correct the grammar or spelling of an applicant unless it's a requirement of their position (editor, etc).

I totally understand Cinnamon's frustration when she had explained why she wrote it out like she did. I would have been highly irritated with the behavior of the potential employer too and would have given long thought to whether I wanted to put myself in an environment with this on a daily basis. If they are going to do that to someone they don't know through email, imagine how it would be in person, working day to day with them.

No thanks.

I think the biggest mistake that employers and potential employer make is they forget this one lil fact...

While they are evaluating us, we are evaluating them... while we are in a probational period, so are they...

March 7, 2013: A woman holds up turtles in small plastic bags after buying them from a vendor in Beijing on March 7. Each bag, filled with oxygen & nutritional liquid, can keep the animal alive for two months & sells for less than $2. Many animal-rights groups are calling for an end to the practice, which is legal in China. Some Chinese use plastic bags containing turtles or gold fish as key chains & believe they bring good luck.

With an accompanying picture of two tiny little turtles in plastic bags (I can't post the picture from my iPad). I am angry and broken hearted at the same time.

I lost an incredible friend on Monday. Today while I was out feeding the animals I hear sirens blazing. I turn around and swarms of cops, crime scene trucks and the coroner are flying down the road (a dirt road mind you). I am the curious type so I hop on Sassy and ride down just 3 miles from home until I find them. I was stopped of course and a few of w the other neighbors were there also. We wait, watching as 4 officers walk out of the wooded area with a body bag. After a few hours we were able to find out that it was the body of a teenager. Its a small place here so if you listen you hear alot. Bless her heart, she had been stabbed. We lose people every day that have added so much to our lives and those of others while crap like this happens. At this point it seems pretty insane to me that people like the person that murdered this girl are roaming the earth while good people are taken away.
