I can't believe the blog's only been locked down like 6 weeks. IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER!
Alright, I probably shouldn't think this is funny but, not surprisingly, I do. What can I say, I have a "funny" sense of humor when it comes to work situations. As in, I don't get too worked up over it (pun intended). Yes, my lame jokes are back, too.
Soooo anyway, every 18 months, we can apply for new jobs at the company. I applied for one and had all of these managers thinking it would be AWESOME for me to just get an interview (I'm trying to cross functional areas) and they spoke with this particular hiring manager. I know this manager is active on facebook and I assume she may have looked me up...which, I thought would be okay since we weren't FB friends or anything. Shockingly, *gasp*, I did not get an interview. I am still offended. I bought a new outfit/jewelry in preparation and was practicing my most charming smiles and chattiness. I started thinking hmmmm...maybe I am a facebook case like on dateline or something...and she wasn't impressed with my St. Patrick's Day parade pics from 2006?? Whatever. 25 green beers never killed anyone. And considering those pics were taken at like 10 am on a Saturday...I was fully recovered by Monday at 8 am. ha. Nice chick! (Those are my friends Craig and Crystal, btw). The first pic was after about 19 beers. The second appears to be after I had the additional 6. I'm going to have to say, "Ew!" "Wow...?" & "Really?!" to that one.
So I looked up my profile by logging out. I had a HUGE picture of a newborn as my profile pic, and then my contact info was public. WHICH INCLUDED my email AND BLOGS!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, who doesn't want to hire a mom of a newborn?? We are always to work on time, never miss work for the kid being sick and never are irritable from the kid getting up 14 times per night. Wait...scratch all that.
Anyway, the last entry on my blogs (farmbaby) was titled, "Work Sucks!" And the first line read "Work is soooo over-rated but paychecks are so under-rated." LOL! I thought it was pretty funny at the time but I'm gonna go on a limb here and assume a hiring manager WOULDN'T.
So I had to lock down the blogs temporarily. But like I said, how can you not laugh at that situation? There are lots of other jobs in the company so I'm sure another will come along soon.
ANYWAY, so that is the scoop! I missed the blogs though! I'll unlock them as I update them. Summer at the farm has been good :) Hope everyone is enjoying this warm and GLORIOUS weather!!
Mucho love to ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
