Hmmm

Have you ever been at a crossroads in your life and at an utter loss as to which one to pick... That's kind of where I'm at... Don't ask my dear sister, because I too, am at an utter loss....

Final Day

Today is my official day at Fossil. No offense, but the happy holidays ended before today. Today, people were cranky and irritable. I am sorry, but I wear a badge that says "visitor". That means I cannot use the the cash registor. I cannot do returns, exchanges or purchases. I would love to help you but I don't work at Macy's. Your yelling at me and screaming at me to find someone to help them does not help the situation. I am limited by the amount of Macy's salespersons who are on the floor as you are. Please do not scream or yell at me. I cannot help you any more than you are. I can call a manager as well as you are. Everyone is hampered by budget cuts. Please stop yelling at me. That being said... I am happy to have earned my first few paychecks in several years....

Tide is Changing

Go figure, it worked (at least so far). I was able to channel the Ames Factor for good for someone else, and today all I've received is good news. My husband made the eligibility list for a job in Southern California. Turns out I'm making 1.50 more per hour than I was told. My paycheck came in time to pay the dentist bill. And the $10 Target gift card came for my son. All good things today. Hope it holds.

Ames Factor - The Sequel

I, along with the majority of unemployed people, am actively looking for a job. One position I made it to #13 on an eligibility list. And that's for a job I'm actually qualified for, one in my field. I have another oral board next month. Yet, it was Saturday I was offered a job. One I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm selling Fossil watches at Macys, and have no idea what I'm doing. Ironically I am selling a lot of them. Now they want to keep me on after the holidays. Unfortunately, it's only Saturdays and Sundays, which interfere with the Sunday meetings I go to. Why...why...why??? Oh yeah, Ames Factor....lol

Murphy's Law

Murphy has a law... I hate that guy Murphy. Because of him I have a factor...lol. I went back to work in about 5 years... haven't even received my first paycheck and well, it's already prespent. Go figure. Ames Factor... my husband's tooth got infected. Not only was he in too much pain to work, he needs to have it extracted. So, today we're going to the dentist. Almost my entire paycheck, which is somewhere in the mail, I'm hoping is already winging its way over to me. Couldn't I have the money for like 5 minutes?? Ames Factor

Fortune Cookie

Last night I got a fortune cookie, with the "fortune" saying "You will soon be crossing great waters". Wow, I'm going to England...visit my husband's great great grandfather's country and well, maybe visit my sister. No, wait... I'm going to Hawaii to drink mai tais and relax on the beach. Then I remembered the Ames Factor... it rained last night... I'm probably going to cross a flooded road...lol

Lipstick

The above picture is of my daughter. Guess what she discovered -- oh yes, that's my lipstick. She was a little overeager in her application. It even doubled as her eyeshadow.
