Before the actual Part 2
Ha! ha! Remember my Before the actual blog entry
*Like Biggie Smalls says and another one!*
This company is hilarious. They are cash rich at the top and cash poor at the bottom. GTFOH! What does the previous saying mean? The owners and executives are making head over hills cash. The peasants of this company aint making shish! HA! HA!.. Guess this is like AIG or Leahman Brothers.. This company probably could rank in the Fortune one million tho’. lol
I am persuing Craigslist for jobs today. *smh*
I see this heading corporate human resources specialist in training ad.
Man O Man, My ’spidey senses’ tell me .. This is that company from last week.I had the horrible experience.
*singing * Spider Man! SpiderMan catching stupid jobs or job ads in his web
LOOK OUT! Here comes a stupid low paying job! Here comes a stupid job ad.. Here come Spider man! (I need to stop watching cartoons! LOL)
These fools are really on the scandulous list. BUT!, They have lush corporate digs! *insert saracasm*
The Corporate Human Resources Specialist in Training (aka CHRST) is gear towards college students. It will give them experience in the corporate human resources field. The pay is $7.00. (How much is minimal wage again?) The responsibilities for CHRST position was similar to the HR asst position that I had applied for.. Except.. I would not hang flyers or attend recruiting events.. You know, HR assistant would do corporate things.. such as shoo’ing out the homeless and crack heads out the office.
The responsibilities for CHRST
* Phone prescreens
* Interviewing
* Hiring (hourly positions)
* New hire paperwork
* filing
* Data entry in HR database
* Recruitment events
* Hanging job flyers
* Background checks
* Placing job ads
Be flexible with jobs hrs ( If I’m going to college, How flexible can a person be in this position?)
Instead of paying a highly degreed and experience person a decent salary.. They went this route! How sad for them?
Did I mention this job is part time? BUT, It has potential for Full time! *say it with me, NOT!*
Also No benefits!
Here is the kicker! When you are not doing the above responsibilities. They want you to be available for side duties such as cashier or their corporate business!
*putting on my Jerry Springer glasses and looking into the camera*
In closing Readers.. If a company is going to pay low wages and no benefits, they should provide a perk(s).
For example, I looked at a sales assistant job ad at a $200.00 dollar a night hotel. It only paid $11.00. But the perks were nice. If hired you’ll receive complementary meals (less monies on groceries-I like to eat..), discounted dry cleaning, discount to stay at ther hotels around the world and so much more.. The perks make it worth while!
Be Good to yourself and Pray We move pass the stupidity of dumb job ads and corporations.

Dr appt
uggh! I’m trying to be positive with this recovery. I’m totally tired..
This doctor is supposed to be the best ortho dr in Tampa. The bedside manner is not to be desired at times.
I asked her about my scar. It is dark. She said You dark people have dark scars!
damn!
Ok! My scar is dark and is keloidish!
The dr says to me, you know .. your ankle is going to arthritic. Duh? I had 2 surgeries on this ankle.
I asked for ultrasound script. This chick says to me, You cant stay in Physical therapy. Forever! Duh? Who wants to be in PT for longer than need? NOT ME!
My range of motion is not on point yet. I’m trying to get my ankle to work again. I went line dancing (soul) last nite. I was so pissed b/c I could not do the double cha cha spins and turns. I had to stand back .. I was remiss.

Temp Chronicles: Should have kept my mouth shut!
I’m very helpful by nature! Everyone or mostly everyone at the temp assignment is hungry for a job. Ok. I had set up my interview appt for a new assignment with the same temp company. But it is with a different branch.I had work for this company before.
I told 2 people about my upcoming interview. Those two ran and took their test for the same assignment. No interview set up for them tho! Now, they are emailing and phoning this site like it free food line. The temp agency ladies came out yesterday with a packet of available temp jobs.
So the two who I told about the job. They told two other persons. Now they ran and stalk the temp agency lady at the off shoot branch about interviews.
We received a group email from our temp agency rep to stop calling over and over to the offshoot temp branch. I even heard one of the temps call the offshoot office. She was aggressive as hell on the phone *smh*
Now Folks (temps) are mad! Why?, They were given this packet of temp agency jobs. It was implied by the temp agency ladies that We would have 1st billing on upcoming assignment. The offshoot temp agency lady told one temp .. Oh no! you do not have 1st billing over anyone. You’ll go into the well.. just like the folks who apply for the job off of craigslist or our corporate website..
damn! Should have kept my mouth shut and look out for me solely!
I did not create this chaos.. But I might have attribute to it.
sidenote: Another temp told me to pass on any potential job leads to her. Mind you She has and had been overly loose lip with other folks. But she was not with me! I read her email like Are you serious?

Temp Chronicles: Arrggh!
Get The Sam F*ck out of here!
Technicially, I have one more day at this temp assignment. This morning, I jumped up and went on a job website to copy and paste my resume on it. I applied for jobs most of today.
The call center was quiet. I was into my own mind and calls from customers. All of sudden, i realise … It was quiet. I looked down one row.. no one I look down another row .. no one.. I’m like WTF? has happened here. Folks have become real Lassie Fariez. So, I’m like aww shish! My headset beeps with a new customer. Again, I’m into a call. When I peeked my head up. Folks reappear into the rows.
An email came to certain temps. I was not on the list. Ha! Ha! The email came from the Temp agency lady. The temps on the email has been select for an extended assignment. I was shock who was and was not on the list.
*singing* Damn! Why want to stick me for my paper?
TV Boy was even on the list for extended assignment. Ok! WTF? For Real!
So I was talking to a ‘temp’ friend and said Hi in the bathroom. She asked was I taking the extended job. I said I was not invite to ball, in my Cinderella voice. I told her that I was ok with it tho’. Everything is not for me to have. What is meant for others. It is not meant for me.
As i was talking in the parking lot to other temps. One of the mgrs of the impromptu call center asked me Did you get the email? I said no. Mind you it is 6pm. He goes well you’ll get an email. Huh? HTF? I’m going to get an email. We gone!
fast forward.. Now, I get this call from the Grimreaper (temp agency lady) @8pm tonite.
*pushing the fast forward on the dvr button*
She goes (fakeness shines thru the damn phone call) SMILES!. I’m like WTF is this in my head This is Grim. Aha shish.. Oh everything is fine. Aah shish..She stated.
What is this mess on my phone? Now , I regret answering the phone.
She goes on to tell me that the extended position has been offered to me.. Huh?
Now, My off day is Friday. I have appts set up! for medical and job wise. (keep this in mind)
SMI-LES The job is a specialassignment . Your hrs will be 8-6pm.This friday and saturday 9-5p I’m like huh again! It will only last one week. THEN you’ll work Monday -Friday 8-6. Grim stated. This job initially started as 6 day a week 12 hrs a day.
You know I dont mind working to make a living. This is ridiculous. I’ve already set up appts. Yes things change in the temp world .. But, I’m supposed to drop everything. GTFOH?
I told her that I have appts set up already.
So I told her that I have an appt for PT at 730am b/c my previous (current) work hrs were 930a-6p. I have an interview with an offshoot branch of this temp agency for a longer assignment. I did not state that what my 730am appt was for. She asks What is your tomorrow appt for? I said PT . I sd I’m already in trouble with my ortho dr. Oh well you have to do what u have to do.. We will regroup tomorrow on this conversation.. She says!
I’ve never heard fakeness shine thru the phone. But she put the nail in the coffin with it.
aggh! Temp World is maddening!
