Talk About Work Thread

dang.. that might help team unity if you don't get each other blind first.

Talk about a team unity repelent. :sweat:

Just as a follow up: The only people that came in wearing a blue/white today were the resident butt-kissers ( I am SO shocked)

Gotta love the brown-nosers :rofl: :rofl:

I just found out that I have to teach Periods 1-3 in a row without any breaks! GAH! :grumble:

So, I got a trouble report from an Office Depot store, and while I'm on hold listening to their voice mail/commercial it says, "Office Depot support s a drug free work environment" As opposed to, , , A DRUG TAKING WORK ENVIRONMENT :woot:

My job interview today sucked ass. :shamefulcry:

Gomen, K. :(

There'll be other interviews... Consider it a practice run.

Ganbarre yo K! Like Racer said, consider it a practice run. Learn from what you did wrong (and what you did right) and use the experience for the next one. [/list:u]

But you didn't get the actual results right away, did you?! I mean, just because YOU think it went bad... doesn't mean they thought is. Don't give up the hope! :victory:

No...I know I didn't get it. They basically told me they didn't want me working there for my own good. Since I have no experience in hospital they didn't want me to get chewed up and make a mistake. They did send my resume to a slower hospital in Petaluma, but there's no openings there.

Argh! I know how you feel then, because the teaching profession here is the same thing. It's really hard to get a job if you have no experience.

But like... if you don't get a job, you can't get the experience, and if you can't get the experience, you can't get the job. :crazy:

Mebbe you should try volunteering at a hospital while keeping your current job? That way you're still making money, but you're getting the experience you need. Of course, you'll be working yourself to death... :sweat:

Yeah...that's the only problem. I don't know if they'd actually let me volunteer now, since I'm not a student anymore. I'll probably have to go for retail pharmacy :banghead: . God, I hate some medical patients...they've got serious issues.

Ah, so then apparently I teach your medical patients. :hehe:

sorry to hear that....
better luck next interview. :victory:

Heh heh, I hope not. A lot of medical patients are drop-outs (although a lot of them are college grads :sweat: ). Medical is California's "socialized health insurance" that's only for those with need. Well, most of the time.

That's what sucks about interviews, you never really know what to expect. I remember I went to an interview once and I was expecting them to ask me something technical or maybe about my previous work experience. The first question he asked was, "What was your favorite subject in school?" :crazy: I'm thinking, "Huh, WTF?" I guess I should have said, "Pyschology, so I can figure out what's going on in your head?!!?" [/list:u]
