Ending the week with a whimper instead of a bang.....

(Bing images)

What a weird and awkward week it's been.  It was a continuation of the crap that happened mid-week before this one.  Really, no one wants to do it again.  Ever.

The co-worker (Ms Loud) is staying.  As I hadn't asked all week (preserve me) I had the opportunity to ask her the status of her recent interviews...you know, because I'm human after all, and nosy as hell.  So, she said she is staying (whew, cause I really didn't want her job as I mentioned before).  She had rejected the first offer (still wondering why on that one, sounded like a great deal with the insurance) and the second job interview revealed that office to have a very high turn-over of employees.  Never a good sign, that.  She said the OM had mentioned to her that she had fired 9 or 10 people since she was hired in October.  Oh. My. God.  Does it sound as though she's on a bit of a power trip?  Or perhaps the previous OM hired all her friends and they were crappy employees.  No matter what the reason, that's a definite red flag.  Ms Loud also said she would prefer to stay where she is "happy" rather than someplace that gives you more money but is a nest of vipers.  

I should also mention that we have a 4 day work week, and that office has a 5 day work week.  That's huge.  I don't think I could ever go back to a 5 day work week unless it was my dream job ~ and really with few exceptions, no one I know has a "dream job".  For me that would be paying me to read books I choose and then let you know what I think about them....for lots of $$.  That'll never happen because I have weird taste in reading material (no, not twisted, you bad bad reader).  And no pornography either.  Honestly, you people have a very low opinion......haha

That's enough for now.  It's been a long week....
Love, 365

  1. How the heck do some people land those reviewer jobs anyway?

    1. A quick search of "how to get paid reading books" brought up a ton of suggestions. I read through a couple, and wow, it sounds like it'll take time to build up your skills and such. *Worst of all, they suggest you start a book review blog. I don't know about you, but I have enough trouble finding time to write on this one!
