Seriously? I have been doing it since the first week of December. I get here at 8:20ish and get home after 5:30. I hate it. The hours are fine. If it werent for six days. Then people get annoyed with me when I turn down invites all the time. But when I am home Sundays with Gavin I really just want to stay home with him.

Wow, that would suck. I feel you on this one. I feel bad for complaining now. That is forever, I bet you forgot what it feels like to sleep in on a Saturday huh? I know I have and it has only been 5 weeks. I enjoy my Sundays just being me and my girlfriend, just having a lazy day so I understand that too.

Well as long as I stay here that's the way it will be.
I don't see this place being around much longer. He is so in debt its not even funny. I stress over it and they are my bills. All the collectors call me and I have to hear it and the asking for money while he sits around and refuses to take the calls. This is sad but one collector calls every day. I am so sick and tired of it I told him my boss was gone on a 10 day cruise. Total lie. But I can't take the calls. It worked though. Lol

That would get so old really fast, At least you got one off your back for a few days. I wish I could throw my dang phone here out the window. We don't have caller i.d. here so we have to answer the phone with a polite answer every time and 90% of the calls in here are the girls I work with personal calls because she doesn't get signal in her office with her cell phone. So it really sucks answering the phone thinking it might be an important call and it is her husband or mom.

[88sunflower]

Yes well I put caller ID on the phone. Most calls I just let ring through to the fax. I am sick of lying on someone else's behalf.

Agh I am cranky today. I had a fun weekend but it tired me out.

By the way, you broke the one year mark with your girl. Does that mean its serious?

That would get so old really fast, Atleast you got one off your back for a few days. I wish I could throw my dang phone here out the window. We don't hav caller i.d. here so we have to answer the phone with a polite answer everytime and 90% of the calls in here are the girls I work with personal calls because she doesn't get signal in her office with her cell phone. So it really sucks answering the phone thinking it might be an important call and it is her husband or mom.

You could say that you'd been instructed not to take personal calls unless it was an emergency. Be sure to use the "been instructed" phrase. It works for me and I own my own company.

Gosh darn I have had a busy morning. This better stop! Haha
Oh wait I am at work.

OK, so, interview status report. They basically told me about the company and some basics of the job. There's a mandatory pre-employment drug screening before they even really consider you for a job, so I had to go pee in a cup.

The company makes parts for hot water heaters, so the economy hasn't really effected them any. I would be working on the factory floor, either on the manufacturing or shipping/receiving end of things. It's full time, 8.5 hours a day 5 days a week, with occasional overtime. There's a cash bonus at the beginning of each month if you had perfect attendance for the entire month prior. Employees are eligible for health care after 90 days, and a 401k plan after a year. After 1 year there's 1 week paid vacation, which goes up to 2 weeks after 3 years. All weekends are free, unless you sign up for voluntary overtime on saturdays, as are all national holidays.

I REALLY want this job. More than that, I NEED this job.

I have to admit, one of the major draws is the possibility of working with big machinery and power tools.

Crossing fingers for you hheath :)

[88sunflower]

Oh heath I am sending you good luck. Loads and loads of it.

[hheath541]

Thanks. The results from the drug test should be in within 24 hours. I'll hear back after that.

[adam_89]

I like you methods Cats.

Sunny, it is a serious relationship and she might be the one I marry but only time will tell.

Heath, hope you get the Job.

Unky, Hello!

[Unknown008]

Hello Adam :)

Hheath, I corrected your status on the FB group, I think I messed it up at some point in time :o

[adam_89]

How are you doing today Unky?

[Unknown008]

Hmm... nice day at school.. wait, not completely.

My General Paper (can be called English Paper as well... ) teacher went to China for some weeks, and in the meanwhile, there is another teacher replacing her. Well, she's not a good teacher so to say.

For example: What should the introduction paragraph contain? (After saying that we need a lot of practice, and so on) One on the students said that it should include some definition of the given title, an original way to start the essay, explanation of the topic and so on. Guess what was her reply. "It should introduce the essay! That's simple."

Yeah... that's a definition for "simple essays". It needs to be more detailed at this level.

Another thing, she said she got an A with two body paragraph in French. Oh my! I bet if she now took the exam, she might get zero for the structure of her French essay. I'm almost sure that all my friends dislike her too... I think she'd do better for smaller classes.

She gave us 5 topic titles today, and only 30 minutes to do one of them, while in the exam, you are given 1 h 30 min. And you should see the titles! There was one descriptive and two narrative essays. We never get those types of essays in the A-Level of Cambridge... I guess I have to endure this until my teacher comes back...

Fortunately, she'll be back in some three weeks...

Apart from that, the rest of the say was good :)

[adam_89]

Wow Unky, that has to be horrible. Sorry you have to go through it. Maybe you could get together with the other students and you all could report to a principal? Just to get a good teacher for the time being?

[Unknown008]

My friends are not of that type. My closest friends especially didn't come to school because of this very teacher. Well, there are other factors such as we do maths, physics, library and physical education today. Library and Physical Ed. Are not important, Maths, we are doing revision work, and physics, one can have a good overview of the lesson by merely looking at the notes, so the actual class doesn't become that important.

Then the others are not the type to report teachers. They'll rather not go in class, and wander somewhere in the school playing cards...

Now we have General Paper on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and you'll find out that these are the days that there are the least number of absentees.

Oh, and on a good note, there'll be an activity week next week. Since I'm not involved in any of these activities, I can stay home, doing some work, or be here ;)

[albear]

Hey Bear, I missed you there again! I swear not doing it on purpose. I fell asleep lol.

No worries bella :)

Hi everyone still here :)


Best of luck heath sending positive vibes your way :)

[adam_89]

Well, hopefully things will be good for you Unky. A week from school sounds awesome!

[Aurora_Bell]

Getting ready to go get my head shrunk.
