10/11 - 2: Wow first I go and drop off an application I filled out yesterday, they should be calling me back later for an interview. Dropped off the envelope that contains an application to the company in Florida and off to the one who told me to print out the application and come in today for the interview.

I am there by 8:30, not bad, but had to wait behind two people. Finally my turn, and this was one of the most aggressive interviews I have ever been in. He was just under rude, and in your face. He took a verbal swing, I held my tongue, he did it again, I held my tongue trying to be patient and not do anything rash. He did it one more time and attacked my character and work history, gloves off.

Oh you can't read my words, make bigger spaces and the letters will be bigger. You do not have enough past employer spaces, had you had more, then you would have known this.... He told me under no hesitation, he wants me to work harder than I ever have before, harder than I ever have before. Pretty sure after he checks my references and stuff, if he calls back - no thank you :censored:.

I was told a long time ago, you can not learn how to be a good boss from a good boss, you learn to be good from the bad. I have had enough of those. Anyway as I am coming back into town I stop by the guy who never called back and filled one out, he stops me and does an interview right then. He says, "Wow your resume looks great." compliments me many times, just unfortunate has nothing for me at this time, but will keep it for the future.

I have other places I will go and another interview I know for certain, about to call the bank and see if I can get the mortgage payment postponed with no penalty, then the ex father in law. I am not kidding, give me my stuff so I can sell it, if you even still have it.

Not a rant, okay maybe a tiny one. @Mandikay that sounds cool, we had a cockatoo and it was fun letting it come up on your shoulder, it would gently nibble your ear and hair. Birds are fun, one day I might get a hawk. :D

Can't like a migraine, Blue ...hope you feel better soon
Good Hunting, Tiggs..you would be surprised ...how those jobs "with no openings" get a call-back when they do, since you made such a good impression...
Fuzzy is busy working his A** off as usual..last I heard, it is wood cutting season ...If you remember last year he got help from what I call "the calvary"...Having been in his position in my off-the-grid Life in Alaska, you can't sit around and wait for the calvary to come ...that's like waiting for employers to come knock at your door..or waiting on the Avon lady to stop by, hoping you can get a date :p ..No..you rolll up your sleeves and you get to work ...
What we CAN do, is take a moment from our own busy hectic Lives and send some "calvary" Fuzzy's way ...whatever form or shape that Help may choose to take....He's depending on this wood harvest for his heat this Winter . :nun:, Fuzzy.
And thank you all in advance.

10/11 - 4: Will try to make this one shorter. So just finished the next interview, secretary out, boss does not know how to print of the printer, after many tries ink is out. So straight to the interview. Come to find out what a small world, my first ever electrical boss, he worked with. We had a lot in common, he wired a building I worked in.

He knows names of people I have worked with, and companies. "Sorry, I thought you just had the day off." "No, it is okay." we talk, he wants to know my demeanor. Have you done service calls, dealt with people. We talk, he asks more, he is very pleasant and calm, states he never cusses.
"Uh hmmm, only one time have I ever cussed a person and they deserved it." gave him the example.

His words change, "That is the type of team leader I need, someone who will tell me the truth." Come to find out later, we have more in common than first thought, his major financial backer, or person with the work for his company, I worked with before. Get this one day that backer said to me, because of what I did for a father crying about leaving his wife who just gave birth to their first baby. "Go, be with your wife, you are getting paid today, and I worked twice as hard so he could." "One day karma is going to pay you back." Think I may have found my spot... but no position.

As I am leaving. "Can you send an application through email, I will contact the customers I just let go of." :):):headbang::headbang: Because his employees lack report, the ability to deal with customers.... seems all that stuff in the past could, could come in handy. Oooh I am feeling real good about this one, hope he can fit me in soon.

go tiggs - something will work out soon and for the best.
What's winter? Grew up in the midwest - do not miss it at all. Trip to the mountains once a year is enough.
mandi - that bird will be like another child but should be fun and great.

The interview sounds promising @tiggerrts Hopefully it works out for you!

Another decent day here today, high clouds and cooler but still pretty decent. It was down in the mid 30's F last night and only 61 now but tomorrow is supposed to be like 75F.

Gonna head out for a walk while there is still a little light. Catch y'all later.
