29
Day Challenge of gift giving! No not the gift giving of Tiffany’s or F150!
But, A gift of quality substance putting good back into the world
I read in the www.skirt.com about 29 Days Challenge of gifts!
Cami Walker was told by South African spirtual teal to give 29 gifts to others in 29 days in order to escape her constant preoccupation with a serious chronic illness.
I donate/volunteer my time or funds. I smile at folks in the store or out on the streets.
My humor is a gift to folks. I love to tell my stories. I love listening to folks. I send cards to folks that I have not heard from in years. Just to say I am thinking of you..
check out her website. Put it in practice!

I have not wrote about my ankle in awhile. Yes, My ankle is still in the healing stages. Can I stand on my toes? Oh hell no! But, I could not do it before!
I’m not in PT. I gave up on it. Honestly, She it was helping. I had 6 more appts. But, $40.00 a pop was killing me per session. I use my foot roller at home and stretch my ankle per the exercises. Prayerfully, I’ll have a job soon. Therefore, I can pay for gym usage/foot massages @ $40.00 a month.
Recently, I received my HMO summary. Good gawd! The surgery alone was $56k. The ala carte medical things really add up. In My Opinion, NO American should be without insurance. My medicine bill on this thing was high. My Physical Therapy costs are high too. I owe the hospital a co pay. Supposedly, I’m going to have a follow up appt with the Ortho dr. Uggh!
My quality of life is better. I can turn in dance class. I might not be fast as before. But, I can do it. My ankle is affected by cold weather. Fla has dipped in temperature, several times. *crying* I have to lose weight. My knees are bothering me now. I refuse to have knee surgery. Gawd no!

interviewers
I had an interview for a non profit agency. As usual, I had two interviewers. The interview was midday, 10 am. I’m dressed in my interview suit. The interviewers asked their questions. Number of questions oh 20 something. This interview was timed for 30 minutes. It was a 30 minute interview too.
Interviewer: Miss Smiles Can you tell me what you can bring to the table?
ME: I smiled and looked at both interviewers. I start with my verbiage.
*scratching* the needle on the turntable
Did his eyes just roll upward? Is she talking with her eyes closed?
Oh hell naw, They are sleepy. It’s Monday! I know, I am usually sleepy on Mondays. Well when I worked.. lol
I am here to dazzle you and get this job!
I started to use their names in examples. Oh Are you waking up yet? By the end of the interview, they were waking up.
I wonder, Should I have flashed them my tatas?
*thinking, thinking*
No I should not have flashed them my tatas!
Do I think that I have job? I really cant say. I was numb in this interview for other reasons. I could do this job. it’s simple .. input and output job ..
We shall see!

wanted
Funny, How someone comes/tries to come back in your life from the past. or Maybe they where never in the past. But they were distant or off to the side.
Everyone wants to feel wanted or appreciate by someone. I’ve loved and cared for some men. Due to our own quirks, we could not go any further. They reach out to you b/c they want the feeling of your warmth. Hmm!

education
and skill lead the way..
Right now, I need more education and change of skillsets. I took Med Pass class today. Basically, You learn how to ‘assist’ the patient in their meds. Wow, I paid $50.00 for this 4 hr course. What I should have done before I paid for the course? I should have researched salary range for a med pass tech.
Now, it’s looking ‘iffy’ to me.. hmm.
I’ve looked into other online classes from the local college. The classes are economical.

Am I
a criminal?
Ok, My mind went left this morning. I’m wondering and wondering and wondering.. Why haven’t I receive any calls for interviews?
*cue in Jeopardy music* Alex for $500.00 Am I a criminal?
I go on our local sheriff office website and look up my name on public records.
My heart stops! For 3 seconds I thought I saw a hit on my name.
*buzz*
Nope you are not a criminal! said Alec
You are just unemployed in a crummy economy. Sweetie!
Uh! Wow!

interview
on chat..
I received some job information, lately. The person had their AIM and YIM handle on their contact v-card. it’s not even a professional handle like JaneADoe@JAD. Kissybear (this is not really the name) is the handle.
Do I need a professional handle? I have handles for my YIM. But, they are not professional. I can see the transcript now.
Kissybear: Can you tell me about your former experience as a _______?
lickmedown: Well I’ve been working per the age of 14yo.
Kissybear: What qualifications have you enhance since your 1st job?
lickmedown: I am patient with customers. I can multitask. I aim to please the customer.
Kissybear: You sound great for the customer service representative job.
lol
Look how far interviews have come in this day.
Has old school protocol gone out the door? Supposedly, the interview suit is coming back. I’ve seen it.
How will old school protocol and new school protocol blend in this world?

Internet savvy
In case you do not know what that it is, it is where you put the title of the email. If you cannot follow this I am really sorry but I have no time going back and forth asking questions – like “where are you from”. I have attached 2 images for you in case you do not know where the subject line is .
Above is blip from an email that I have received for a side gig. For a minute, I was going to delete the email b/c the chick had a porn name. Hey it was a porn name to me.
Anywho. I opened the attachments. It’s something that I want to do. I reread the email. The writer actually sent a print screen of a subject line. I stared harder at the screen like why? My thought, the person applying for your job. They can not write an email or are not internet savvy. Is this really someone that you want working for you? Maybe, I am not being fair. Many of these side gigs need you to be self sufficent, computer savvy and on point. Wow!

This economy sucks
I’ve called or emailed two temp agencies. They have let go two of their staffing coordinators. Wow! One was very nice. The other one was ok.
I called in availability to other temp agencies. One staff coordinator was bleakin voice.. I was like wow! Can you sound less depressing?
I called another agency. The staffing mgr answered the phone. He asked me. How is your individual search? Huh? I told him that the economy sucks in all facets. I asked him. when do u think it will rebound? He thinks it will rebound in some months. Hmm

Job front..
Well, I’ve been applying here and there. I have burn out from doing it. I’m looking at some alternatives to USA.
I had a lot of knick knack stuff from my old job. Things they give us with their emblem. I figured that they can recycle the shit. Companies kill me. They give all this knick knack shit to show appreciation. No, Give me some more cash on top of my check..
I stopped by the temporary agency. They looked so pitiful up in the office. No phones were ringing.. staleness hanged in the air. temp lady said Oh things got to get better. Wow! I said Things will get better. She said I hope it will ..
