I just got interviewed!

“We got'sk'a celebrity guys. lol”

“Nice Phil. I like a whistle because many people yell themselves horse (for help) & can barely whisper when searchers are nearby. A whistle will work when your voice no longer does.”

“Very Cool Phil!”

“So I had an interview this morning with the Department of Revenue. Upon reflection I dont think the interview was that bad. At one point they asked me to 'sell myself, tell us what makes you stand out above the other candidates'. So I give'em the standard 'correct' answer re: my work history, ethics etc....then I tacted on at the end. "PLUS I"M A NICE PERSON, I GET ALONE WELL WITH OTHERS AND I"M FUN AT CHRISTMAS PARTIES". LMAO”

“oh yeah, and I went rock climbing last night..too fun!”

“you did not say you were fun at Christmas parties! LOL!”

“didja give a drunken hiccup between christmas and party?

that would've really sealed the deal!”

“LMAO..I swear to God I did. HEY those things are important too!!”

“hahahaha!! you should've said...and I'm fun jumping out of a cake on bday parties!!"”

“Well did they laugh when you said it, or cough nervously?”

“i think it's great

f'em if they can't take a joke.

who wants to work for a stuffed shirt anyhow”

“You applied for a job and you told them you're a nice person? You'll never get that job that way.”

“They laughed..but as soon as I said it I thought "WTF did you just say Carlette????"

I'm flame proof I tell ya. (now, if I don't get the job I'll retract that statement)”

“LMAO! Carlette you are a crack up!”

“I thought a week or two ago you won some neat trip at work.”

“see this is what happened. I applied for this job about a month ago...got called to be interviewed. Found out I got the award at my current job and the trip/awards ceremony gig. The cosmos isn't in line...I'm trying to leave my current job and winning awards for performance...yikes!!”

“Carlette I know the feeling I got my best review this year at work plus it getting a award for my 5th year of service and I'm leaving to go to Case less than 2 weeks. Oh well!!!”

“I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch by any means but...this afternoon I have this vision. There I stand in Phoenix accpeting my award in front of 200 managers. Give my little speech then at the end tack on..."oh yeah and one more thing this right here ladies and gents is my two weeks notice..*insert Elvis* thank you thank you very much."

“Good luck with the job, the Department of Revenue needs anyone who has fun at anything. You could have told them that you will liven up the place although that may not have gone over too well.”

“At least you didn't tell them you hang out on TT...”

“i thought you liked your current job?”

“sometimes its not a matter of like or dislike. When you're raising a 6 y/o..for me...its about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$”

“Hey!! Wanted to update y'all who laughed about me telling the guy interviewing me a few weeks ago that I was fun at Christmas parties. LOL..it must a worked...cause I GOT THE JOB!!!!”

“Kewl Beans!”

“Congrats”

“Yah, but you'll always wonder now if it's only because you're fun at Christmas parties.....











j/k...congrats!

“I"M so excitted...but freaked out!! I get my award tonight with my current employer...hell then I've got to give them my notice. DOR wants me to start on the 7th...OMG OMG OMG”

“OK, so here's what you do:

At the company Christmas party, get really drunk, cuss people out, hit on married guys in front of their wives, etc., make everyone miserable.

Then when they ask why you said you were fun at Christmas parties, tell 'em "Well hell I had fun!"”

“What if my current employer is so pissed they won't fly me home!!! OH this is getting better by the minute..lol”

“Please don't sing 'Take This Job and Shove It' after your awards show. That would be a little tacky. LOL”

“I'm going to be grinnin so big getting the award now..I'm gonna be like one of those folk on an Orbits gum commercial...*bbbling*”

“The days of giving two weeks notice are over.
They ended when all the companies were laying people off on Fridays and just telling them to clean out their desks.

One company I once worked for had a guard take an old man out the door and they mailed him his personal desk items later. Guy was two years from retirement. I quit that job soon after that.”

“you should probably wait till you get home.

Your goin to work for the Department of Revenue????

No WAY!!!”

“whatcha gonna do for DOR?”

“WAY!!! stuff..audits..freeze peoples accounts etc etc.

I know I've got to wait til I get home but I do feel really bad getting this award..plus they paid for me to be in Phoenix...oH the guilt”

“I thought revenuers busted up stills.”

“I can't wait for the post christmas party report. Please be sure to post the bare ass copies you get from sitting on the company copier.”

“Carlette - I have no problems dropping these people. You think the people at the top won't drop you like a stone the moment they want to?”

“ooooooooo, Carlette is now the ENEMY!!!!

dang, and I liked you!”

“oh and if you've done a good job they won't begrudge you moving on up.”

“I gave notice to taek the job I currently have two days after getting back from a 2 week long training course in Chicago.


It was the culmination of a 2 year training school that cost the bank i was with $5000.



They were not pleased. But . . .corporate loyalty ain't what it used to be.

It was a bank that was going through the throes of another merger . .. .”

“Damn I'm going to have to go get a drink!

True Y2 they would drop me in a minute if they had to. I'd love to not give a two weeks but it just seems like what I'm supposed to do.

Scary ain't it Roam...muuuhahahahahahahah”

“always at least offer the notice. SOmetimes they'll say to just go on and get out.

If you don't offer its hard to call them up later and get any sort of reference.”

“Oh I'll give em the notice...I'm just so EXCITED!!!! floatin on cloud 9..all I gotta do is mind myself til Friday then I fly home to celebrate!!!!

I wanted to share it with you guys...whooo hooo hot diggity damn”

“hey congrats! Make sure they don't expect you to jump out of cakes and #&%!$ like that....uhm...okay?!!

I think they def. will not give you the cali award! so no going to cali?”

“Now that this manager has hired you because you are the life of the Christmas party what do you think they will expect of you when that party comes around?

Seriously... congratulations on the new job!”

“whatchu talkin about a cali award. This award tonight is the max. award for the year..I"m flame proof!!! (or maybe that my drink talkin now)”

“oh there were two women in on the interview as well. Thought I better clarify so this all doesnt sound like I'm truly expected to pop out of a cake! LMAO”
