Raven's Journal

My interview is at 3 p.m.

After dealing with that stupid head hunter and being rather disappointed that a now former co-worker was offered a position that I applied to (long story). the same company that just hired my co-worker called and told me two new positions opened up. Basically they want to interview me for a temp to hire position on another helpdesk. The pay is comparable, it's contract for a 4 - 6 months then the job turns into direct hire.

The recruiter told me that I should hear this morning when they want to interview me. She already told me to not be surprised if they want to interview after work today. They need someone to start next week so I will find out fairly quickly. I prefer this, I don't like waiting around, wondering for a few weeks.

Ok, I don't know how many of you have dealt with head hunters. Some recruiters are wonderful, others are complete morons. Take this recent dialogue I had with one:

Recruiter: "Hello this is from . I don't know what position you applied for but I thought we could discuss possibilities."

::first thought, you don't know what job I applied to?::

This guy did not read my resume. He proceeded to ask me if I went to college, had a job, what I did, where I worked. Now I sent my resume to this recruiting firm so it wasn't some weird guy calling. He knew I applied to something in IT. Very bright guy. Yeah, he's a star recruiter. lol.

I have to laugh about this guy.

A team lead at work sent out a little story about the 90/10 of life. The idea is that we can't control 10% of life, the other 90% is our reaction.

This morning I was a little disappointed about my job search. Then after reading that little e-mail, I cheered up. I realized that there's a reason I didn't get this job or that job. I just have to be patient and stay focused.

During the last few days, I have done some work to remove negative energy out of my environment. I feel much better and truly focused on the current issues.

I'm happy to hear that Ben has a job interview on Friday. Regardless of other sentiments I could express, I truly wish him the best.

I updated my website yesterday. Today I have to take Henry to the vet for a check-up and a vaccine. I've looked at some job opportunies and have been re-thinking my job plan.

Tonight I need to do something fun.

A thought so simple reaches your mind and clears everything up for you.

You know you'll be ok.

You know what you're doing is the correct action.

It's nice to be free.

I need to clean up my links page on my home page today.

Luke didn't find out until last night that there's a site called iamawitch.com

I suggested that we register iwasalutheran.com. Luke said we couldn't afford the bandwidth for such a high traffic site. lol.

Now I'll need is privacy levels to completely switch from LiveJournal.

Way too many calls today. I suspect we are technically understaffed now.

Some get on AIM and talk to me!

My mom called to tell me that my cousin Robert tried to ask my father for 20 dollars. Now, if you don not know my father, you would not find this funny. My father calls my cousin Robert "Beavis"
