Wow, October is going by fast! And yes, I'm still an employed flagger extraordinaire. Apparently I'm both loved and hated at my job, (not just the drivers I impede by making them stop or slow down) but I guess you'll have that. Can't please everyone. Believe me. I've tried.
I think I wrote about how I didn't get the long term substitute job at Essex Elementary school, but if I didn't, there you go. Not really a place I wanted to work at, though I do need a steadier job than flagging. The rumour mill is still churning there- I might be done flagging Oct. 31st or sometime in November. Either way, I am still subbing (did so twice last week). I'm not sure how much longer I'll be doing that either, since schools aren't hiring next year and/or they aren't hiring me. Yes, I've been wallowing in self pity yet again. Been thinking (darn brain) about what a failure I am- that I can't get a teaching job for the past 6 years and there must be something wrong with me because I'm a college graduate flagging and living with her parents. What a Wicked Major Loser! (I love saying wicked- it's wicked fun)
After crying (what an ab workout!) and kicking myself many times in the arse, I bought 2 papers to look through the classifieds. Not sure what I'm qualified to do- I've done customer service, data entry, teaching, training (not weight lifting training, but customer service training), manufacturing, product testing... I think that's it. My resume is a bit daunting and hopefully that isn't a turn off. I looked at a bunch of jobs online and in the paper and applied to a Customer Service Trainer job at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. Sound like fun anyways. I'm thinking about applying to LLBean as a sales rep either in Freeport, ME or in Fayetteville, NY where my friend Christine lives. I've always wanted to work for LLBean in their main store that is open 24 hours. There's also a receptionist job in Middlebury, too. Lots of choices I think and hope. So we'll see! I'm willing (and need to) move, though I don't have a lot of $$ right now. Whatever happens, it's all good. I have to be positive, because I have no where else to look but up.
On to other news... I haven't really watched the news in what seems to be a month or so. What's this Wall Street thing? Why aren't people in Washington protesting why all the stupid politicians can't get it together and pass some budget cuts that would provide jobs for a couple million or so people? Some people need to overdose on common sense... many of whom are flaggers, but I won't get into that mess...
Tomorrow I get to hang out with 3rd graders! I hope I get to color with crayons again or something fun and kid like. Have a great day and week wherever you are and doing whatever you do!
