I find myself back in the same situations I have been in for years. Thankfully I have found a job, and managed to keep it. Even got myself out of the service department and I am in accounting learning all sorts of new stuff. My life is once again focused on my job. I like my job. Other than being glad that I am back in Washington I am rather ( Read more... )

Cooked two new things yesterday. Prime rib and black eyed peas. Now I have had black eyed peas from a can and was planning on doing that but the grocery store was all out. I did find a bag of uncooked beans and figured it couldn't be any harder than when I cook kidney beans for chili. Never going to eat black eyed peas from a can again. They ( Read more... ) -

After a few interviews, and some other strangeness, the current job is trying to keep me. It has been a rather strange week actually of emotions I really did not expect or want to go through again. I have fears and concerns both ways, staying or going which given my nature makes the decision harder with each passing day. Though through all of ( Read more... ) -

So I put in my notice at my present job on Friday before I left. Monday morning the managers said good working with you and good luck at your new job. I know it's prideful but I was expecting some sort of effort to keep me. I was hopefull that they would at least ask me why I was leaving. Instead I got nothing. They've already started trying ( Read more... ) -

I have not had the easiest of times finding a job since moving back to Washington. I've gotten past the fact that pay scales seems way lower up here than down in Texas given that the cost of living is about the same. I've been working my present job since March and have been actively looking for a job, even while working this one, since about a ( Read more... ) -

Over the years of my last job I sort of developed a reputation for my voice, especially my phone voice. Apparently my paging stopped a few guys dead in their tracks and some even would ask the receptionist who was paging. There were even a few people saying that my voice would be perfect for a certain type of phone operator job. I always thought ( Read more... ) -

I'd like to say we got as much done this weekend as last but it just didn't work out that way. Jeff had a talk with the first dealership that he worked at after moving up here and they want him back. They've put a rather good offer down on the table but the main issue is still the commute. He'll be going from Puyallup to Bremerton and the ( Read more... ) -

I find myself longing for the worst days at my last job, since even those seem wonderful compared to the strangeness I find myself in now. I see the potential. Yet everyone in management on down seems determined to make this place as messed up as it possibly can be. Maybe once a day I go to accounting to pick up and drop off stuff. I say hi to ( Read more... ) -

Labor day weekend certainly lived up to its name this weekend. I painted the back family room while Jeff was out tearing up the rotten floor section of the shop. Took both of us Saturday and Sunday to get everything done with both projects. Monday I cleaned and organized the house after the mess of moving stuff for painting. During that time ( Read more... ) -

I've worked at dealerships for years. I have been in charge of accounts for years. They always made sense to me until now. I've never had a service manager before that doesn't really care how much money the department is wasting, how much money is going to policy, due to stupid stuff that can be controlled. But then I am used to working for ( Read more... )
