My Week In Review

I can't believe that it's been over a week since my last post. You'd think I had a full time job and school going on at the same time in my life. Sadly, it's not that way. I've been applying for radiography jobs at a lot of places, and I'm gonna have to change my tactics. Basically, I'm gonna have to go full Spongebob on my applications. Being called in on my day off? I LOVE it!!! Going into an isolation ward with an antibiotic-resistant flesh eating bacteria? Nothing better than that!!! Seriously, I've found that yet again being honest on job applications is a disadvantage. I'm not an idiot, but seriously...everyone talks about ethics and morality in the workplace, yet the human resource people automatically penalize you for it.



Now that I have that off my chest, I've cleared out some more of the English ivy around the house. I swear between that and bamboo, it is the bane of my yard work. I also fixed the Jacuzzi tub, and no leaks or broken seals now. I figure that alone saved us about $300.  The baby crib has been put together, and the sheets and baby clothes will be rewashed tomorrow morning. A few of the pictures have been hung around the house, and I thought i had a place to hang my music collection, but the wall space didn't work out.

Oh yeah, I now have two shifts per week washing dishes at the restaurant. I'm most likely the only dishwasher in the state that can explain in detail how to make x-rays. I did make a great contact this week, the only Electrophysiologist for pediatrics in the state will keep me in mind for the EP lab at her hospital. She also has given me the go ahead as a reference for my resume. It'll be nice to have a doctor as a reference.

As a friend of mine always says, "keep it classy."

    Hmmm I used to quote Shakespeare while driving my forklift around. Nothing like using a masters degree to drive a reach lift for 7 years. I am not sure if honesty or not has much of anything to do with HR these days. The only thing I see that matters is that you either don't have male parts or if you do they are at least a dark brown before any company with an HR will look at ya. Seems they are always behind on getting their quotas up to the numbers they need.

    Good luck with the job search!!!

      Yeah, I probably would have had a job waiting on me if I was a gay black female.

    I forget who said it, but "honesty as a policy is vastly overrated" would seem to be true on occasion.

    Hey, can you tell me the name of the ferret show? I missed it here, but if I knew the name I could search the listings for another showing on our local PBS.

      The ferret show is "Ferrets:the pursuit of excellence" and Barnes and Noble had a copy for a little under $11 according to PriceBlink.

      The 1940 version of Pride and Prejudice: Elizabeth Bennet: "Honesty is a greatly overrated virtue"

      Thanks, I'd be a lot better with a paycheck though.
