job #4 - post baby continued…

so i got the job. i was now the release coordinator of an electronic publishing company. yeah, i didn’t know what the heck that meant at the time either, but sit tight…i’ll explain later. but now, onto the first day…
can i just say that first of all i was very happy that i was able [...]

job #4 - post baby

you thought i was done with my post baby job recap, huh? nope. if you recall i was fired from job #3 - post baby which was a little bit traumatic considering the fact that i was working for a freakin’ tour bus company. so anyway, my husband edellizzle suggested that i finish a manuscript [...]

in the mean time, in between time…

so after getting dumped by the tour company the husband suggested that i take a little time off to really decide what i wanted to do. you know, jumping from job to job like a freakin’ chimp on crack swingin’ from branch to branch to branch to branch was getting pretty daggone old.
so the husband [...]

job #3 (continued) - post baby

so here i was working at the tour company basically coordinating school field trips. how in the world did i ever land there??
anyway, it sucked. tour dude had suggested that i chaperone field trips…with my family…on weekends. oh, he was trippin’. he had me all messed up in the game, honey. mama doesn’t do weekends. [...]

job #3 - post baby

after dumping the receptionist position at the private school it was time to stomp the virtual pavement once again. you know, send out resumes like a freakin’ madwoman and jumpin’ at pretty much whoever said yes because hey, i needed the dough.
i had years of experience as an editor, but there weren’t that many editing [...]

job #2 (continued again) - post baby

so the first day in my new post as receptionist at a k-8 private school wasn’t the greatest. if you’ve been following along, i’m sure you agree. and honey, if you the think the second day got any better… well, just read what happened next.  
i was a little frustrated i must say when i walked [...]

job #2 (continued) - post baby

so it’s still my first day as a receptionist at this private school. i was just getting situated at my desk when the phone started ringing like crazy. there was one student in “my” office at the time and she said, “you know, i think you better get that.”
oh yeah, that’s right. i’m the receptionist. [...]

job #2 - post baby

you know when something isn’t right for you. call it female intuition or whatever, but you know.
so it was monday and i walked into the k-8 private school and no one was there to greet me. i didn’t know where the heck i needed to go or anything. in fact, the school seemed pretty darn [...]

job #2 - post baby

the project coordinator position at the shopping guide was cool and all, but i needed a guaranteed pay check and not just some ol’ “hey-if-we-meet-our-goals-you’ll-get-paid” type of scenario. this was no time to be living all loosey-goosey.
so i took the interview that the temp agency set up for me. the job they had available was [...]

job #1 - post baby

i was just sitting here snacking on my leftover breakfast thinking about a conversation i had with a good friend yesterday. i know, i know… the whole “snacking on leftover breakfast” thing sounds kinda gross, but the box of buttery toffee popcorn with peanuts aka crunch ‘n munch was just too good to wait until [...]
