Ask Me Help Desk - Got an interview

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.

LOL!

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. :)

That's just too fun. :)
Farmers markets are nice, and they have really pretty flowers.

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

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. :)

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 ;)

I like that Plan M, It will be winter here then so it will be freezing just like Canada in Tassie, and nice and warm up in Sydney!
Best of both worlds!

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

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 :)

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... :)
