My Belly Up List

Instead of "Bucket List" I've decided on Belly Up list for a few reasons, first of all I think the word belly is cute. Also, when you die you go "belly up" OR when you're ready for your next drink you "belly up" to the bar...I like it, so here it is:

1. Go to the summer Olympics
2. Go to the winter Olympics
3. Take a road trip down the west coast
4. Visit France/Monacco
5. Visit Italy
6. Visit Greece
7. Go back stage at a concert
8. Get certified in SCUBA diving
9. SCUBAdive the great barrier reef
10. Meet a president current or past
11. Own my own business

That's all I can think of now...

Bucket List

Kelly and I were talking about "bucket" lists they other day, and she thought it was a good idea for me to make one...so I am...

A quick note about the term "bucket list:" I'm not a fan of the term...I'd like to take suggestions as to what to call mine...then I will share mine or what I have of it so far...

And....GO

New Job!

So, I haven't blogged in a LOOOOOOONG time! But, I'm back...for now... But in the mean time, I got a job! It's a part time job working for Renewal by Anderson as an event specialist...meaning that I work at the trade shows. I'm very excited about it! So, I had to take a drug screening on Monday. I've never taken a drug test before. I all of a sudden got very embarrassed; this peeing in a cup for a stranger thing seemed very odd and personal! I walked into the clinic and didn't know what to say, "I'm here to pee in a cup..."? That seemed inappropriate...AND they didn't take appointments so I couldn't say over the phone what it was for and show up and just say my name...So, I had a piece of paper I needed to give the clinic that was to collect my pee; I walked up to the front desk and just handed them the piece of paper and didn't say anything...

I felt like if I had said I need to take a drug test the other people in the lobby would judge me, like I was in trouble for drugs...and then that's weird, "I'm here for a drug test, not because I'm in trouble for drugs, because I'm not, I've actually never taken drugs, except that one time I took too much NyQuil, but that was on accident, funny story actually, I thought it was DAYquil, but it wasn't and I went to work, and I was SOOO groggy and ended up spilling the chocolate all over...but that's not why I'm here, I just got a new job and they require this before I start and I'm very excited to start, it's actually a great opportunity and I've applied for so many jobs and had only just a few interviews...." flash to me sobbing about how hard it is out there to not have a job...
So, as you can see, it was better for me to just not say anything and just hand over the paper...

My day

Because Kelly said so, I am uploading some pictures to my blog. So, I decided to show you all my typical FUN-employed day...

First, here is my uniform:

We're pretty relaxed around here...sweat pants aka "fatties", my fleece, and you can't see them, but my slips. It's pretty much standard issue...

My Co-workers:

You all know this pretty lil girl...Mabel! So, she's lounging on the couch, I walk up to her with my camera. It seems to me that her eyes are half open, maybe paying attention to me. So, I crouch down to take the picture and scare the sheez out of her...It was HIlarious...maybe you had to be there...then she ate an eye booger.

These guys pretty much sleep all day...Frankie and Johnny...I love them! How cute are they??!

Then, if I'm lucky, I can enjoy a happy hour with all of the other hard working adults in my life:

And then I eat salsa dishes...

FUN-employed

It's 11 days until christmas! Crazy! Yesterday my cousin, Julia, gave me a new term for not having a job...FUNemployed! I like that! So, today I was determined to have the most fun I could not having a job! But, it wasn't that fun. I spent an hour in Home Goods and bought a dog bed and 3 christmas gift bags. How did it take me that long? Then I went to the General Store...I was there for about an hour (or more)...I can't reveal what I bought...but lets just say it is disperportinatly little for how much time I spent there.

I think tomorrow will be more fun...maybe I'll do a cross word!

Holla!

I got a call back today! A phone interview at 2:00 today! AND it's a job that I'm actually very interested in! AND it'd be downtown, just a few short blocks away from my sister! Everybody, cross your finners!

spanks!

Jobs, jobs, jobs

So, I'm unemployed...My goal is to apply to 10 jobs a week, while only applying for ones that I want. This is hard to do. There are plenty out there, but nobody calls me back. The only ones that DO call me back are scams. I totally don't understand how these scams work. But, I really wish they wouldn't waste my time...Or, at least be up front about their scam...or at the VERY least, explain to me how their scam works? Thanks!
