Applying for a new Job . . .

“Wish me luck! Campus Security at the high school level, I just found out about it and I have to put the appie in tomorrow. I also have to get my 1stAid/CPR updated right away. I called in and found a class for monday, have a receipt (to turn in with the appie) faxed into my work! Isn't that a hoot! This is the job I really really want, I love working with kids at this age level; and yes I have before and as an Asst Scoutmaster, still am now.

Please pray God's Will for me!”

“Amen Missy....if this is what you want then we will pray it is what He wants as well :-)”

“Get your tazer ready! LOL
Go Girl, GO!!!!!!!”

“I would at least tazer one kid a day. You would be doing society a favor.”

“I've never had to so much as take down a kid (at a school) yet, I can always talk them into doing what I want. I have worked in this school district before. Kids like me, more importantly, respect me. Not that there haven't been kids I haven't wanted to taser. I just restrained myself, LOL! :O)”

“...I can always talk them into doing what I want....


"Do what I want or I'll taser ya'!"


hee hee hee....”

“Nah, i am sweetly, kindly persuasive, kids naturally want to please me. I just found out the opening is at the high school where a former co-worker of mine is! She is so excited that I am applying, she is the only woman in that position, the principal is a woman, it looks very promising! I just picked up the fax that says I am signed up for my 1stAid/CPR class, I'll fill out my appie tonight and turn it all in tomorrow.

“good luck with the application i press my thumbs for you pamela :)”

“Thank you fengor. I did it, I put it in. I forgot to check off Veteran's Preference even though I attached both of my DD214's, do you think they'll get a clue anyway? Should I call them? I am actually a Special CA Disabled Veteran and that get's them extra special points for hiring me. You'd think they'd know after all I worked for them before. But I never count on anything. I do know that I can be hired ahead of others with this preference. It's hard enough getting this job when they prefer big beefy male football coaches. What do you think; should I call?”

“Pam, I hope you get the job because it sounds way better than cashier. You would really be in a position to make a positive impact on kids and I know you would do so.”

“hmm if you worked for them before i think they should know.

Atleast around here people keep track when tehy were once employed in the company”

“Yes go to the office and check the vet preference box. Like you said, it could make all the difference.”

“I will give them a call and/or go in on Monday!”

“Don't assume that they will figure out that you're a Vet. So-o-o-o many applications come in and get only a quick eye and sorted into the short pile or circular. Abbott labs here in northern Illinois gets, 17,000 applications every week!

Gotta make yourself standout! Make sure you get the extra points!”

“that and you don't look like one...:)”

“i can TALK like one though! ;O)”

“I just received a letter from the school district!!! I have an appt for an exam on Thursday February 15th! I've taken this exam before and passed it with flying colors so I am not worried. Now to get that morning off of work. Keep praying please!”

“Go Pamela!”

“You got it! Good luck!”

“I just got off the phone with my friend at the school, she isn't using my name, but is a bug in their ear about needing the next security person to be a WOMAN. With her being the only one there, it's a real problem when she's absent.”

“Oh yeah, the Good ol' Girl Network. A guy just doesn't have a chance;)”

“Oh pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, the whole staff except her is made up of coaches! Guys who are completely unavailable as soon as the game begins! How safe can that be?”

“Hey, I have the new work schedule and I'm not working on the exam day!! How's that for God taking care of things for me? Maybe He DOES want me to have this new job? All I have to do is pass this exam, no problem. 1st interview at distict level, again no problem. And then hopefully the high school will look at me and ask to interview, and then, well. . .

We shall see.”

“should i change my name to a trail name now, what do you think?”

“good luck with the new job. we all keep our thumbs pressed.”

“As awful as yesteday was, that is exactly how "GREAT" today was! Can you believe it? I think God knew how much I needed today to be good.

So I went in and took the exam, and I'm really certain I just about aced it. Yeah, I finished it in almost half the allotted time. The older I get, the easier testing becomes. The answers are just soooo apparent, you know exactly what they are looking for.

After I took the exam, I was walking throught the parking lot and I looked down and saw a dime on the ground, I bent over and picked it up, I always do that. Well, it was a MERCURY DIME! No kidding, a mercury dime, can you believe it! 1945, the last year they were minted! No, it's not worth a whole lot, I checked, anywhere from $2.95 up to $16.75 or something like that; but omgosh the thing is just beautiful! Why did we stop making these? If I believed in luck instead of blessings, I'd say it was good luck. But instead I'll just say God wants me to know he is thinking of me and on my side. I feel so very good about today. Thank you Lord for giving me a sign!”

“:-)”

“I just received a call from the school district. I did pass the test, I will be going in for my first interview this Thursday!

Please keep me in your prayers, this job means everything to me!!!”

“Whoo hoo! Fingers are crossed for ya!”

“Thank you Wounded Knee! It would be so sweet to have all my weekends free to trek and to climb!”

“Hell yes!”

“Woo Hoo!!!!
Go Pammy!!!!!”

“Thank you StoveStomper! You are a great support to me. I will get this with the Lord's help!”

“Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Good luck! I am looking for work too and I need all the luck I can get.”

“You can do it Pammie! Prayers said....”

“Luck be damned, take charge of your destiny, kill all your competition”

“Best wishes, Pamela!”

“Thank you everyone!!!

you are right hyway, there is no luck, there are only blessings. i have done all i can do so far to look better than my competition, by attaching my TWO DD214's, (i am a special CA vet), filling out my application with reasons why they should hire me, (above others), and using 3 VERY good references. on Thursday i will do even better by WOWING them at my 1st interview. i am very very good at interviews, and i have already passed this interview once before.”

“rest assured, if an applicant showed me her Double Ds she would get all of my attention”

“LOL! civilian!”

“I know what you meant, ex-navy here. Even so, double D's are a particularly nice asset for an applicant to have.”

“nah, more than a mouthful is a waste”

“wow, I was talking about just looking, but hey, if thats your attitude I want to interview you.”

“Pamela walked right into that one, LOL.”

“Pamela sees exactly where she's walking and likes it! ;O)”

“My interview is this morning at 10:35 Cali time. I'm worried, I have no energy for this, no excitement, no smile. How can I get this going before I leave. I have to have this or it won't go well.

I'm thinking it's time to refill my lexapro. Not that it will kick in for the am, but it's a sign that I need it when I can't get happy over possible good change in my life.”

“We are pulling for you Pamela!!!!!!”

“hell with that, I want her pulling me.”

“hyway=Nigal????? ;-)
Nigal is always saying he wants to be naked except for roller skates and used as a pull toy.”
