Hi everyone,

Well, it's time for me to get back to work. I applied for a job the other day, just got a call for an interview.

I'm very nervous.

It's been 10 years since I've been in the work place. Over 10 years since I've gone to an interview.

I have no idea what to expect, what's changed since the last time I did this.

They want three references. Do they just want the names, addresses, phone numbers, or a letter of reference? Letters are going to be hard, I haven't worked in 10 years, calling my old employer up for a reference isn't going to be easy, if it's even possible.

Scared here. My stomach is doing flip flops.

I have until Thursday.

Gulp.

Any tips?

Okay, listen now... first thing, keep the sex talk to a minimum... K?:D:D:rolleyes::eek:

Stringer

If in doubt LIE

Remember Post It Notes, well YOU invented them ;)

For references I'm pretty sure they only want names/address/phone numbers/how you know the person. It's sort of usual (?) to ask for personal references AND also business references.

If you haven't worked in 10 years it's not unreasonable not to have current business references.

I'd explain that at the interview -

As you know, I've been dating and, trust me, it's like one long job interview. Hope that made you smile.

Alty, I would do anything to be where you are at this time in your life. I hope you know that.

Lie?

No sex talk?

That's all you boys have for me? ;)

First, the interviewer is a woman, so, sex talk, not going to happen.

Second, I'm really bad at lying, I suck at it.

Ahhhhh!

Really, I'm terrified.

OMG! I have nothing to wear! :eek:

What if I don't get it?

What if I do get it?

I'm going to suck my thumb.

This isn't a career, it's just a seasonal job. It would start in October, end in March, then, if they like me I'll be asked back in October.

The thing is, the salary is great, so it would be like working a full time job all year. The months I'd be working, also great, because I could be home with the kids in the summer.

My neighbor told me about this job, she interviewed with them last week.

I'm over qualified for this position, still, I'm 38, I haven't worked in 10 years. I'm so darn scared.

Posture (sit up straight-pay attention), smile (but not too much), look interested (but not wide eyed silly), short answers to their questions (unless you have to explain something, but yeah, keep them brief), towards the end of the interview, you ask some questions to show interest (no jokes) and finally, well dress appropriately......:)

Also, tell then that you are very interested and what you would [/B[B]]like about this job. If the mood is right you may even ask when they will be making a decision and when you can expect their phone call... shows confidence.

Stringer

Take a deep breath, smile at yourself in the mirror, list the reasons they'll be lucky to have you and sail into the interview. You'll be fine. I promise.

Just be yourself, don't lie, don't drink coffee, stay calm, sleep well, it's not that they are going to kill you, it's just a job interview. And yes NO sex talk

GOOD LUCK!! :)

Be strong and confident, 'the only thing that you have to fear is... ':)

I've never been good at interviews. I babble, because I'm nervous.

I forget everything, including my name.

I'll probably pass out.

The thing is, I do know what I'm doing. This is all data entry, easy peasy, could do it in my sleep.

I know Ben is laughing now because it's computer work and he knows how skilled I am at the puter. But, this is MS word, no brainer, can do. :)

Do you think taking valium before the interview would help? ;)

Ah, I also have to find a sitter.

Anyone available on Thursday? ;)

Just be yourself, don't lie, don't drink coffee, stay calm, sleep well, it's not that they are going to kill you, it's just a job interview. And yes NO sex talk

GOOD LUCK!!!!:)

No coffee!

Okay, I might as well stay home. ;)

Yes, valium would be a good idea. In fact, offer the interviewer one. Try to bond with her.

A better idea would be a stiff shot of whiskey. Vodka is not good because at least with whiskey they'll KNOW you're drunk instead of thinking you're stupid.

Funnieeeeeeeee... :)

Alty, in the midst of all this joking around there is some good advice, especially being confident in yourself. :) I interview people all the time and that is one thing that I look for among other qualifications of course.

Be strong and confident, 'the only thing that you have to fear is...........':)

What!

What do I have to fear?

OMG, now I'm afraid of the fear!

Seriously though, I'm really nervous.

I know I have to do this. I hope I get the job, I know it's just an interview, blah, blah, blah, but this means something to me. This is a huge deal to me, for many reasons, not least of all getting back into the job market.

This is also a test. Do I still have what it takes or am I old news?

So much is resting on this.

Alty, in the midst of all this joking around there is some good advice, especially being confident in yourself. :)

I'm usually very confident, but about this, not so much.

It's been so long.

It's not like riding a bike, you can't just hop back on, the rules have changed, I don't have a helmet! :(

Besides, I was never good at riding a bike.

Just so nervous.

What!?

What do I have to fear?!

That sort of thinking will make you nervous. Example, when I have an important sales interview I actually pretend that I have already gotten the job and that the interview is only a formality. Helps me be more relaxed. Some things work, some not so much...

Good luck, I'm pretty sure that you have nothing to worry about hon. :)

Thanks Ben.

Thanks new person (sorry, I forgot your name :().

I'm going to get a new suit on Wednesday.

I'm also going to print out my resume on very nice fancy paper, because I can. :)

I'm going to throw up Thursday morning. I'll probably get into an accident on the way to the interview because I'm so nervous, then I won't have to worry about it.
'
About the whiskey Judy, does beer work?

I'll let you all know how it goes. If I survive. ;)

You will... and I know that you're kidding about having alcohol on your breath... :)

[/B]


You will...and I know that you're kidding about having alcohol on your breath...:)

I am? :confused:

Oh, you, I am! :)

Sigh.

Why can't they just hire me and forget the interview? That would be easier. ;)

You're all wrong; every last one of you.

Alty, all you need to do is this:
1. Buy yourself a laptop
2. Set your self-spanking bunny avitar as the background.
3. Bring said laptop to interview. Open and place directly in front of your future employer.

If they don't hire you on that alone, you don't want to work for a jackhole like that.

So now I need a new suit and a laptop?

Okay. Check list.

1. Get a sitter.
2. Print out resume.
3. Buy new suit.
4. Buy laptop.
5. Buy whiskey.
6. Buy valium.
7. Don't vomit.
8. Don't cry.
9. No sex talk.
10. Lie.
11. Leave.
12. Go home, suck thumb and vomit again.

Sound good?

I said nothing of a new suit.

Show up naked.

If I was being interviewed by a man, that would be a plan. But... girl... no. ;)

I have no business attire. I've been a stay at home mom for over 10 years. My wardrobe consists of jeans, shirts, shorts and skirts.

Sigh.

This is so stressful. :(

I really want this job.

If I was being interviewed by a man, that would be a plan. But..... girl.....no. ;)

You never know, maybe her door swings both ways :D

I'll keep you in my prayers - God has a plan for you

Telling me the plan would help.

I don't like being in the dark. ;)

Why?

I've been good.

Sort of.

Is Thursday here yet? :(

Hey Alty, can I ask what is the position for?

Hey Alty, can I ask what is the position for?

Reverse cowgirl.






Fine, I apologize for the inappropriateness of my comment and blah blah blah...

:D

Hey Alty, can I ask what is the position for?

It's their yearly immunization campaign, the position is entering in the names, addresses and other info of the people being immunized.

Like I said, easy peasy. :)

Cool cool... well, I guess the best thing to do is to be enthusiastic about the position. Show them you can fit into the company, will do a great job there and won't think of it just as a paycheck, but as something you enjoy doing.

I know that's hard, but more than just your smarts, employers are attracted to your personality and your enthusiasm about the position you applied for.

Good luck Alty, I hope you get it :)

Just be yourself Alty and you're a shoe in :cool:




Oh and take the carrot out of your butt before you go in , she may want to borrow it :D

It's not a...

Oh, never mined. :(

If you have nothing to wear, just go nude :p
Sure your interviewer will really appreciate that heaps.

I actually want this job, so I'll wear clothing. ;)

If you went nude, and the interviewer was a guy, then you got the job without saying a word... but like you said, the interviewer is a female... but then again these days... hmmm... this could be interesting...

I actually want this job, so I'll wear clothing. ;)

What about if Chuff was doing the interview ;)

What about if Chuff was doing the interview ;)

A turtle neck, a burlap sack over the turtle neck, then a parka and snow pants to complete the ensemble. :)

That answer your question? ;)

Oh, wait, do you mean what would I wear if I wanted the job and Chuff was interviewing?

No brainer baby, I'd go sans raimant. ;)

If it is just an application they usually just want the name and phone number.
I haven't interviewed for anything yet but here's some stuff people always say to do:
*speak with confidence
*look directly at the person. Don't look in another direction then back at the person and then in another direction again.
*don't say "um..." or "uh..." too much or at all when you are thinking of what to say.
* don't play with your hair, touch your face, scratch yourself, etc..
*practice with someone or with a mirror (lol)
You probably wouldn't do any of the weird things listed because you aren't a teenager like me, but just remember! Good luck alty! :)

They already have my resume, that's why I got the interview.

I called and asked what type of references they're looking for, they said just names and numbers, so no problem. :)

Thanks for the tips. :)

Give yourself a pep talk.Tell yourself you are capable of doing this job,you are reliable and you will be an asset to the company.
Know that and you will show that.

Fake your confidence until it becomes real.It works!
You will be fine,just don't let them know how overqualified you are.
I have not been hired for that reason before and I was shocked when they told me that.I had never heard of such a thing.
I also don't think you need to buy a suit.A skirt and a blouse will be fine.
You will do good!Your strong and smart and determined,all great assets!

About those great assets... ;)

I didn't say great a$$ ,we all know what a cute tail you have :)

I didn't say great a$$ ,we all know what a cute tail you have :)

:o Even with the carrot shoved up it? :o

Thanks for the advice Artsy.

I'm still nervous, but I think I'll be okay. I'm just going to do my best, if they hire me, great, if not, I'll find something else. :)

That's the way to look at it.If not this job that some other job.Good luck kid!:D

It's normal to feel nervous Alty. :)

I'd like to greenie Stringer about something he said, that was indeed a good advice: find some questions to ask after the interview to show your interest.

I've do some 'data response' some months ago concerning two people (a man and a woman) getting interviewed. One of the 'strong points' of the woman was that she asked questions after being interviewed, which was highly showing her interest in the job.

There're also some other little things that you perhaps need to remember, details that you may forget:
1. Have some chic and charming wear.
2. Never show your back to your interviewer (even when leaving the room, after that, you can) except if she accompanies you to the door.
3. Be as calm as possible, avoid stumbling, try to keep eye contact.
4. Try to be succinct with your answers.
5. Try to keep a smile, a faint one works enough.

:)

How about you just invite your employer into the backroom and show her how much of an enthusiastic employee you can be?

Did you have your interview Alty? :) It's about half past noon in Alberta?

Yeah Alty... let us know how it went...

UpDaTe... :)

I bombed the interview big time. Stupid me. I was so farking nervous that I started rambling. I'm lucky they didn't ask me my name, I don't think I would have been able to give it to them.

Also, the secretary I talked to lied. They did want references from previous employers. Three of them. Um, did you not read my resume? I haven't worked in 10 years, the job I had before that I was with for 5 years, before that I was in college.

Do you really want to talk to my former boss of 20 years ago? I don't think he remembers me, if he's still alive!

Then they started the questions.

One of the questions, and I kid you not;

If you were a vegetable what would you be and why?

I said kumkwat, because it sounds silly.

Ya, I don't think they'll be calling me.

Beer? Okay!

Kumkwat now that is funny. Maybe they will call you back because they know you have a good sense of humour.

Alty, many times we think that we didn't do well and that is not their impression. Please wait to see what happens.

Alty, many times we think that we didn't do well and that is not their impression. Please wait to see what happens.

I agree 100 percent Stringer...

I'll wait. I'll cross my fingers. I'll hope for the best.

If this doesn't work out then I'm going to get serious about my wood working, I'm going to make it a business come hell or high water.

So, either way, I have plans. :)

Also, the book, my ducky book. I have a publisher that's interested (yes, another one) and he'll be calling tomorrow. If that book gets published, weee! If not, I'll go the self publishing route, only $300, sadly, I don't have it right now. :(

Stringer, Joe, did I ever send you a copy?

Do you want one?

I'll wait. I'll cross my fingers. I'll hope for the best.

Yes would love one.

Hey...

Hey..........................

Et tu Friende?

Giggle. :)

Can I get a copy too? I like books.. :)

And don't worry about the job... just see what happens... if its meant to be, it will be...

They usually ask those weird question as a psych test... so I don't know what your answer is telling them, but probably right that they will think you have a good sense of humor..

You were supposed to worship the new Bunny lamp.

The remote controlled Venus Butterfly needed to be ready to run to knock the edge off the interview. Best if the remote is randomly activated by another party far away.

Your folder had to have some bunny pics to generate interest and then the entire bunny album handy,

With that , the door will hit you on the way out.

Hi, Alty!

If things don't work out and you need help in marketing your business, whatever kind it is, I can definitely help you with that sort of thing!

Thanks!

*cross fingers for Alty*

I find it funny too... asking what vegetable you like to be... when you have to type the name of people and their details on the puter... lol

Alty... can I please see a copy of your book? Sounds awesome, I love bunnies :p

Things not to say when a woman is interviewing you for a job:

"So, are those boobs real or implants?"

"I'm prettier than you are."

"So do you have some sort of problem with your metabolism or is your whole family heavy?"

"Is that a photo of your husband? He looks familiar to me. Has he ever screamed out the name Alty in his sleep?"

What happened with the publisher??

I told you it was good! If they don't go for it then you should definitely put money aside to do it yourself!

Did you end up doing any pictures for it?

If I get a headache ,you have to rub my temples :)

Lucky ladies... I'm going to have a green tea because I'm at work, and its 10:45am here... a little too early to start drinking I think.. well maybe not for M...

How did your interview go?

How did your interview go?

It went. ;)

They called my references, so that's a good sign.

I probably won't hear back until late September.

I have a PHONE interview tomorrow - I got a big bottle of Black Velvet. It was cheap lol:eek:

Someone gave me a large bottle of russian standard vodka the other day for my birthday.
:p

Lol cool. I got a nice one, tastes like S*it but it's OK. I got my Microsoft Certificate today

OK, I have tried to put a pictute on my profile but I CANT. Can you tell me how to do it?

Do you have the option the "edit photo" in your profile?

The photo has to be a relatively small one (in file size) or it won't accept it.

Good luck on your phone interview too!

Go in there with the attitude that they need you, you don't need them. Don't look desperate, they will know it right away.
Go in with a smile, just be cool calm and collected and it will go great! Good luck!

Go! Alty Go! :)

Knew you could do it :)

CONGRATS!! Sorry for the late posting, lol

Go! Alty Go! :)

knew you could do it :)

Thanks Bear.

Thanks everyone.

I've flying high right now.

I'm so happy. :)

::dancing a jig::
I have been waiting to hear.
Now get in there with the bosses good, I will be looking for a reference shortly. ;)

Congrats Alty! We all knew you could do it!

Woot Woot!!

::blush::

Gosh everyone, thanks.

I really am so happy. I still can't believe it.

It's so hard to get in with Capital Health, I can't believe they picked me.

Now I just have to get my car fixed and I'm all good. ;)

Sounds to me like you will now have the money to go get the other car... correct?

I could, but we're going to stick with my van for a while.

The van only has 53,000 km on it. Yes, it's a 2001, but the only problem was the problem
We're having fixed.

I would like something smaller, to save on gas, but I think I'll wait. This job will be in my neighborhood, a 10 minute drive if the lights are against me. ;)

We really need to pay off a few other things and I'd like to put some money away so
That we can take the kids camping next year.

What's that word? All the women I love are specialists in spending... (kidding, although somewhat true... ) :)

Yep, you've given me another reason to say I'm proud of you. (For whatever that is worth to you? :) Hoping that it is... )

Thanks Stringer.

I never claimed to be like most women. ;)

I'm the penny pincher in our family, always have been, at least when it comes to things for me. I have trouble spending even $10 on a new shirt, I'd rather buy something for the kids.

Hubby actually gives me a hard time about it, but, when we're out at the store, even if I really need something, I'll usually end up putting it back so he and the kids can get something instead.

I was raised to save money. I was also raised to support myself and no matter how much I do at home, take care of the kids, etc. etc. I still have a hard time accepting that I don't bring in any money.

Does any of that make sense to anyone other then me?

:o

Yes, but guess what? Now you are a wage earner. It will get old fast if eventually you don't treat yourself too.

Woo hoo well done Alty :)

Now you can start saving for that trip Downunder ;)

Yes, but guess what? Now you are a wage earner. It will get old fast if eventually you don't treat yourself too.

I haven't treated myself in over 10 years, it's become a habit.

Something tells me, knowing me, that I'll be spending my wages on the household and the kids, if hubby doesn't get his hands on it and buy that big screen TV he wants. :rolleyes:

I may buy a new winter jacket and boots because I need them. :)

Woo hoo well done Alty :)

Now you can start saving for that trip Downunder ;)

That would be great! :)

I'd really love that. A trip to Australia is definitely in my "before I die" plans. :)

Mine too... however I may have less time Alty

New Zealand also... M.

I plan on flying to the pub that M goes to. I may even sleep there, unless someone carries me home. ;)

First jug's on me M. :)

Hay, good for you Alty! That is fantastic but what are we going to do without you here?

You are going to have to do double shifts here at night to make up for lost time.
I will be sure to save any special posts I think need your attention.That special kick butt, tell it like it is Alty touch :)

I got the job!


YAY!
Well done Alty, we never doubted you for a second.

Finally graduated. I stirred the poo a lot. :D

Uhmm... Mkay :eek:

Damn damn damn... Looks like I have some things to get for my wife after I get married.. ;)

Yummo...

I had a feeling you'd like that. Sort of a, Britney Spears meets sex kitten outfit. Nes pas? ;)

LOL. Stirring the poo means I was a bit of a trouble maker.

Damn damn damn... Looks like I have some things to get for my wife after I get married.. ;)

Would she wear it?

A lot of girls don't like the knee high socks. ;)

But I was oodles of fun! :)

Sometimes you have to stir the poo, just to keep things interesting.

Everyone survived, so it's all good. ;)

LOL! I'm kind of late... Congratulations Alty! :)

My puter broke down last Thursday... Now, I'm at the library, and they only have IE here... so no slepl cechk!! :eek:

Missed you Unky...

Speaking of school uniforms, I have a theory.
Has anyone noticed that Public schools often have mainly female teachers, where the standard uniform is usually polo shirts, and private schools often have a lot of male teachers, where the uniform is often white shirts of a thin material that goes see through when it rains? I don't think it's a coinkydink.
Not that I'm complaining, at the private school I went to, my favourite time of year was the rainy part, for many reasons :p

Alty, your phrase of "stirring the poo" conjures a really, really terrible mental image.

Missed ya Unky...

Missed all of you! The puter is finally repaired and home, for the time being at least :eek:

Well, Cal, I don't know the ratio of male to female teachers in my school, it seems to be balanced... (public one)

Haha yes that is so true :rolleyes:

Our winter uniform consisted of a heavy plaid skirt and a light blue shirt with a tie.

We had to wear black stockings as well.

Well the black stockings would always slip down during the day, so we would hike them up so our crotch wasn't down to our knees.
We got in trouble off a male teacher one time for doing so behind some lockers! :eek:

Our summer uniform was a very thin dress... white with a blue tartan pattern :rolleyes:

Well Alty...

How was your first day??

Well Alty...

How was your first day??????

She had to work at least 8 hours today Shaz, she won't be home for another 6 or 7 hours I believe.

Oooh OK, I get mixed up with the times over there :o

Oooh ok, I get mixed up with the times over there :o

I think that you are 7 or 8 hours ahead of us Shaz, it is presently 10:48 Am here, Central Time. I think that Alty is one hour behind me so it would be 9:48 AM there...

She is knocking their socks off already, I just know it. :D

I get confused with the time zones, I usually rely on Unky to tell me what time it is in what country :D

I bet she is too Justy!

Yup.

Hi kids.

I'm back and still alive. :)

When I said that a monkey could do this job I wasn't kidding, as long as the monkey can read and write.

It was a fun day, it went by very quickly. Basically all we're required to do is fill out the forms for the patients coming in to get the shots, occasionally helping some of the elderly with canes, wheelchairs, etc. to find a spot to sit while waiting and answering questions.

I got there at 8:30am, the doors weren't supposed to open until 9am but they forgot to lock them after the staff came in so we got around 1 minute of instructions before we got put to work. It's easy, just a lot of writing. My hand is cramped but I'm sure I'll be okay. ;)

The best part is the people. Right now it's mainly the very old and the very young. It can go one of two ways, annoyed, grumpy, just not happy with life people or extremely sweet, wonderful, make you smile people. Thankfully I got more of the second then I did the first.

Remember when I said that the age group of guys attracted to me is 18-25 and 60-death, well I proved it today. In the 8 hours I was there I got 4 candies, a chocolate and a $2 tip. The other five girls got nothing, I was beginning to feel bad, promised them the next candy I got they could fight for. ;)

My boss came out after my shift was over to congratulate me, told me she had gotten quite a few reports on how wonderful I made the experience for these people. I'm glad. :)

So that was my first day. Surprisingly I'm not tired, in fact, I could have worked another 4 hours if I didn't have to go home to the kids.

Tomorrow I'm back at it, 4 hour shift. :)

I wasn't wearing a nurses outfit, heck, the nurses weren't wearing nurses outfits. I just had on dress pants and a nice sweater.

Thanks Bear. :)

Someone asked a question, I answered it and now I'm being sucked back in.

I'm being good. I'm not causing a fight... yet. ;)

Okay, okay, I'll try and stay away. You're right, my bad.

No promises though. ;)

Congrats Alty! I just found this thread. I didn't even know you were going back to work. Do you feel "rusty"?

I'll bet that those old guys just drooled over you. How did it go, "Hey little girl, you want a piece of candy?" Something like that?

Well, good for you, I wish you the best.

Not quite that bad. They just said "here's, something to brighten your day". One older gentleman did touch my face though. He just wanted to show me how cold his hands were. He's lucky I don't scare easy. ;)

Both of those "quotes" sound wrong on so many levels :D

I really enjoy spending time with the elderly. All they want sometimes is someone to listen to their stories. They prove that the saying" the older you get, the better you used to be" is true.

I plan on doing some volunteer work, and taking my two boys with me to help, at the area nursing homes.

Most of the guys that age are gentlemen, but watch out for the "dirty old" ones. I'm sure your husband has nothing to worry about. Tell him you're being hit on by guys in flannel pajamas.

HOORAY FOR ALTY! I'm glad your work went well. I just found this thread. Maybe if you keep at they'll want to keep you all year. :)

I have my jobe orientation tomorrow, the silly manager finally sent me my forms in the email, so it's all pretty much taken care of, I just want to start working already!

All year in this position isn't possible, the flu campaign is only for 6 months, but if they like me I'll be asked back next year.

It's perfect for me, work until March, take time to build my tables for the farmers market in summer and have the summer off with my kids.

It works. :)

I have to say that they were all gentlemen, even the one that touched my face. It's funny because it was just a friendly, grandfatherly type thing but as soon as he did it it's like he realized that he may have crossed the line. When I said "My goodness your hands are cold" and laughed, he grinned from ear to ear, as if happy that he hadn't offended me.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. :)

By the way, I found a new signature pic, what do you think? :)

I love it. :)

I found it on Facebook actually, and I thought "that would be perfect for AMHD, I'm sure people would appreciate it."

:)

I'm glad you like it Alty... a job that seems to go fast is a good job! Haha

The schedule sounds perfect!
Bit of extra savings for half the year so you and hubby can go on a holiday... ship the kids off to summer camp ;)

Oh and ohso... I love the sig :D

You put her up in Tassie shaz and I'll put her up in Sydney ;)

Hmmm good point... how about mildy chilly :p

Oh and ohso... I love the sig :D

I think it was taken off. :(
I didn't remove it, but it's not there anymore. Wouldn't I have gotten a message or something?

I'm not sure :confused:

Maybe you could ask in the forum help area...

Might have been a little too big for the mods... I'm surprised I got away with mine.

Hmmm, I might need to find another way to make it visible then. :)
I don't want to make it my avi though. I'll figure something out. :)

BED TIME!

Just got sort of 'over' with the internet problems, for the time being at least. Congrats Alty! By what you said, I can say that you 'shone' there! :D

Hmmm good point... how about mildy chilly :p

How about snot freezing, toe numbing, lose all feeling in your body cold?

That's Canada.

Remember that I told you all that it snowed but it would go away? Well, it's not going away! :mad:

You'll hear this a lot for the next 6 months, "why do I live here?!" :confused:

Thanks Unky.

The second day was even better. I really love it. I was actually excited to go to work today.

No candies today, or chocolate, but there was one kind 80 year old English professor that adored me so much he asked if he could kiss both my cheeks. I told him he could kiss one. He didn't expect it, so he took my hand and kissed that instead. There was also a lady that asked if she could buy me a coffee because mine was out. Of course I declined but that was so sweet.

My boss came out front, took me aside to tell me that everyone in my line up had commented that I had made their experience wonderful. They forgot that they were getting their flu shot. In fact, most of them stopped by on their way out to say good bye to me.

I love it.

I really love it. :)

I really hope I get asked back next year. This is like having fun and getting paid for it. The best of both worlds. :)

Alty

Good last post on your Deism thread , I'm proud of you ;)

Way to make a girl blush M. :o

Are you going to pat me on the head? I like that. I'd prefer a belly rub, or lower, but I'll take what I can get.

Oops... W.T. ;)

Hubby's on nights, sue me. ;)

You did good really :)

My boss came out front, took me aside to tell me that everyone in my line up had commented that I had made their experience wonderful. They forgot that they were getting their flu shot. In fact, most of them stopped by on their way out to say good bye to me.

I love it.

I really love it. :)

I really hope I get asked back next year. This is like having fun and getting paid for it. The best of both worlds. :)

I despise needles even though I have to give myself two shots a day for this damn diabetes. Could you please come over and hold my hand, my head and run your fingers through my hair while I take the shots... please.:rolleyes:;):o:)

Passport, plane ticket, time off. That's all I need and I'll be there. :)

I got mine yesterday. It was no big deal.

I had a couple of shots last night... Bourban counts right ;)

I used to have to get my blood drawn every week when I was younger because my kidney disease was acting up, so they had to check the cell count and stuff. I'm still scared of them though. Yuck

I know, but it keeps the jitters away when you or Marta hold my hand, it's all psychological, just the idea of sharp metal going in my under arm, belly or inside thigh :eek::rolleyes::o. That way I get my hand held... :)
