So my newsletter went out yesterday and I can honestly say that it's way better than it was before. The most impactful thing that I said is as follows:

Loyalty comes from a well stated belief that draws people in and inspires them. Simon Sinek states that “people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.” So if you’re not constantly telling ( Read more... )

I created this newsletter at work to draw more attention to the fact that my job offers assessments to ease the stress in finding candidates, motivating teams, and other such things. It was a really good idea seeing as though I'm about to do a team training as a result of it. There's only one downside...one of my bosses has to approve it. It's the ( Read more... )

Let's get this out of the way...no more Chad. He's an asshat and to make sure I don't backslide he's been deleted from my phone like he never existed. And in other news, I am so sick! Sore throat, upset stomach, & coughing kind of sick. I can't take off, so I'm pretending to be 100% at these networking events when all I want to do is curl up in a ( Read more... )

I honestly don't have time to be sick, but here I am nauseous and blarg feeling. I have been feeling this way for a couple weeks now and I think it's because of this diet pills I'm taking. I think it's doing too good of a job at curbing my appetite lately. I lowered my dosage and at one point I stopped taking them, but the pain was still there. So ( Read more... )

Sometimes, I feel like I am 2 steps away from falling over the edge. Today's thought is that I was going to contact my one-night stand guy...don't judge me lol. I am only thinking about it because it would be simple and easy rather than going through the motions of finding someone real. My sister signed me up for this app because she says ( Read more... )

Basically, I made plans with this guy. I picked the movie & he picked the time. I get dressed and I decided to take things slow, so I was going to meet him there. My family was all "if it's a date, he should pick you up." So I asked him if that's what he would prefer...I asked him because I was perfectly ok driving myself. He said he wanted to pick ( Read more... )

So I started typing this not too long ago and accidentally deleted everything I wrote. I wanted to scream. So here's the deal, I'm going to make this short because now I'm frustrated with my finger slip. Anyway, I arrived at work really early because I forgot that the kiddos don't return to school until tomorrow (I think). So instead of getting ( Read more... )

I'm not going to be defensive about it. I just want to get all my feelings out and maybe feel better or at least clear my head. So full story under the cut...

( I thought this is what I wanted )

I'm job searching again...never really stopped. And of course, it's the most soul crushing experience. I'm trying to stay positive, but I feel so worthless. My education...garbage...previous work experiences...laughable. I mean what's the point? I keep applying and applying, but oh this position was filled internally...we aren't really hiring right ( Read more... )

So I feel like mother nature really likes us. When we first moved to Ashburn, VA, that winter was the most snow they'd seen in years. It was the first time I'd seen snow & I got sick because I was unprepared for playing in the snow. Same thing happened when we moved to Maryland, most snow they ever got that year in 2007/2008. Before that, we move ( Read more... )
