This is counts towards one of the worse cover letters of all time

22 09 2008

I’m hunting for a new AP clerk again (don’t start with me about why I can’t find good people).  Amid countless errors of an amazing variety is this jewel of a paragraph.  I will recreate it in its orginal state of being.

I am looking to find a company that can start me out at $13.00 or more an hour I have been told I am 5 employees in one cause all I can do and handle on a daily bases.

Yeah, let me read that amazing resume.

Oh dear merciful Elvis on Velvet (thank you Hip Shaker for that), then another resume mentioned that the person who believes she should be my next AP clerk had severed snacks at a day care.  Thankfully the snacks were severed and she hadn’t furthered the typo into severed snakes or some such.





The fact I have not killed

3 09 2008

my AP clerk is a testament to the amount of patience I have learned as a mother.  This woman is a moron.  I can’t keep her much longer, it is jeopardizing her and my health.

Apparently my directions to her can just be ignored.  Information people give her are just words on a page, they have no meaning in her world.  It is ok not to count the cash when you are filling out a deposit slip.  It is ok to pay an invoice that has it written on it that they are applying the invoice to an outstanding credit (one that she verified that we had double paid a previous invoice).  And when I tell her to see a tab in her worksheet on how to do an allocation, she just writes under my instructions that there is no such tab (clear as day there is!) and just ignore my comment to redo the allocation.

I apparently need to embrace yoga and mediatation soon in my life.





Vow of celibacy

14 06 2008

That’s it.  The worse date possible.  I won’t go into the details because they are just too humilating for words.  Let’s just say, he is so not it.  Physically repulsive in the worse possible ways.  No wonder his pics were too far away for details.  The worse part is, he likes me.  So now I have to say thanks but no thanks in a nice way. 

So I’m now swearing off of dating.  I will focus on kids and career.  Because honestly if I tried again, I’m afraid I would find that he wasn’t rock bottom.  And that is just one scary thought.





The latest in the dating saga

1 06 2008

JB and I had started talking on the phone again.  Ok, that’s good.  We talked Wednesday night about doing something together on Saturday and he was sure to mention that it is ok for me to call him.  Well I have called him several times during this “relationship” but I let that go.  So fast forward to Saturday.  I left the afternoon and evening unplanned (yes I did have other things I could have done during that time) but he didn’t call.  I wondered if this is one of those dating games, where we are both sitting by the phone waiting to see who is more desperate to call.  Fine, I gave in and called him at 6 pm.

He was poolside with some friends and would get back with me in a little bit about if we could get together later.  Hmmm.  Then he calls about 10-15 minutes later and says he is with a colleague from work and they are entertaining unexpected clients from out of town and that he is going to be tied up with them all evening and we would try for another time.

Ok I know with his work his story could be true.  Let’s say for a minute it is.  Would a phone call to me to let me know have been too much?  Yes we didn’t have firm plans and it is early on in our “relationship” but still, don’t common courtesies still exist?

However, with his blowing hot and cold, I have a feeling he is someone who is really not ready to date.  That is my real gut instinct on the situation.  Whatever.  I don’t have the energy or time to play those games.  I have a busy life and I can carve time out of things for someone special but I don’t want to be someone sitting around by the phone, waiting on him to decide if he is really up for a date or not.  I don’t have time in life for that nonsense.

The good news is another guy has contacted me and we are starting the email/phone call dance.  Online dating is just the weirdest thing but I figure it gives me a chance to meet guys I might not meet going through life normally.

Damn dating is way too hard.





Just a pissy mood today

28 05 2008

One of those days when I am in a bad mood and need to be removed from society for the sake of society.  One of those days when I don’t want to be played with, I want to be left alone.  One of those days when I want to tell everyone go away and screw yourself and quit screwing with me. 

There is no reason for me to feel this way.  Just woke up in a bad mood and feel like shitting all over people. 





If I’m going to get screwed

30 04 2008

Damn it at least let me get a good orgasm out of the deal. 

Monday dr prescribed me several scrips, including a Zpack and a cough syrup that would knock me flat out at night.  I dropped them off at Walmart and proceeded to spend an hour waiting without spending any money.  When I get over there they tell me that they didn’t have the syrup and they weren’t able to contact my dr for followup.  Whatever.

So tonight I go over to pick up the syrup (had to wait for payday to come to the rescue) and went through the thing of having a pharmicist counsel me.  As I start to walk off with it I notice the dollar amount.  $61.43.  So I went back, stood in line again and asked them to make sure it was run through with my insurance.  That was after insurance!!!  Because of the way my insurance does deductibles, I was paying for almost all of the scrip.  Now I know I had gotten spoiled with my old insurance where I didn’t have deductibles on scrips but I have a hard time with the idea that a cough syrup was over $75.  I get that more designer drugs, ones doing something like curing cancer or AIDS with big development and big liability risks will be expensive but this is a damn cough syrup.

I decided I would get a tank of gas instead.
