After one month of not being employed full time, I think I just MAY have some progress. I was just contacted yesterday by a recruiter for a local company and they want me to come in for an interview. I immediately wanted to jump out of my skin at the offer.
For anyone who can relate, sitting at home and not working full time and not having anything possibly to do is so annoying. It seems like this is when your friends and your family, especially your family, who have nothing else to do, seem to find something for YOU to do, like you really want to be bothered with their bull.
I can see their faces when that day come and I say "I AM BACK AT WORK!!!" They will be happy, but then not happy, because I am not around to galivant them around the city. Humph, find something to do. Get a hobby. That's what most do when they have nothing to do.
Call me a workaholic, but I just like being able to work a regular Monday-Friday job (along with the part time job that I have) and have the weekends to be free, chill out with friends, hang out with my motorcycle fam, you know whatever.
So until I get back on steady ground, this is my spur-of-the-moment drop in on blogger. I got some things I need to get back to working on. See ya in a bit!!!

The People's President
January 20 marked an historic day in the United States and all over the world. Millions of us were either in Washington, DC or had our television sets tuned in to see Barack Obama take oath as the 44th President of the United States.
A very emotional moment and an exciting one.
I know there are blogs all over that are talking about our new president. I probably would end up saying the same thing that everyone else said.
Barack Obama is the People's President.
Just about every single country around the world took notice, and most of them were just as excited as we were. Just this man's walk alone shows that he has the confidence to lead this country. Can you say "swagger"?
Looking at all the different media outlets, I was really proud of the younger kids, the ones who are in middle and high school, even the elementary aged kids, who say they know they can do anything they want if they just believe.
There was one little girl who was there with her grandfather. The grandfather is a judge from Illinois. He indicated that he have seen three different historic makings in this life time, with Obama becoming president as one of them. When he began speaking he started crying. Like a water bucket, I began crying too. They were tears of happiness. Finally, somebody is taking the stand to help fix some of this chaos we have experienced for the past 8 years.
Of course it is not going to be easy and it is not going to happen all at once. If we all come together and unite, things will slowly turn for the better.
On this day, January 20, 2009, Change has come to America. Now we all must get to work to put these changes in motion.
As we keep the first family in our prayers, remember to pray for each other in these dire times.

Still Searching
So I haven't been on the blog pages lately. When I get online, I mainly do the job searching and if I have time I will go through the blogging sites. However my oldest sister just thinks that me not having anything to do means that she can plan my entire day based on her needs.
I can't wait to get a full time job lined up.
Yesterday was the worst. The day starts at 11:30am when she realizes she needs to withdraw her daughter from her old school so that she can start her new school today RIGHT BEFORE SHE GOES TO WORK. This takes about 25 minutes and now off to Kmart where she works from 12 noon to 5. After I drop her off I go to the nearest Wally World to go get a money order for my rent. I sit in line for a good 20 minutes just to find out the money order machine is not working. Dayum it to hell. So I leave there, call my sister's oldest son to see if he's ready to go down to the school district so he can get his records to go to adult ed. He is ready, so check it, I am there in 10 minutes. We go down to the school district. He gets his business done and we are done. That takes less than an hour. Now I like that. Do what you got to do and then let's go. No time to lali-gag.
We get back to the house at 2pm. My sister's other son has to go to physical therapy at 3 so I meet him at the house. We leave at 2:45pm and he is dropped off for an hour. Meanwhile I go to the bank, then to the Wally World in that area. Thank goodness the money order machine is working. I get my money order, head back to the therapist and wait in the car. 10 minutes later he is out and we are back at the house by 4.
I know my sister. She is supposed to be off at 5 but never gets to the car until 5:15. So I left exactly at 5, paid my rent, and was heading to Kmart when she calls my cell phone talking bout "where you at?" Ahh hell naw, don't time me when you don't even get off on time and I am sitting in the parking lot waiting on you. Today you wait on me. Humph. I felt like some kind of soccer mom or something doing all this running around.
Other than the hustle, that is about it that is going on with me. I work at Kmart part time also, but I work on opposite days as my sister and I work there at night (something that I prefer because I don't want to get up in the mornings to go there). Everybody is cutting their budgets so I am only schedule two to three days a week. I have hopes that I will find something before the end of February. Usually things pick up at the beginning of the year. I need it to pick up really quick.
Until then, I will keep on searching.
