I apologize for my absence this week, I’ve been busy on the homefront. My daughter was out on Spring Break all week and I also was working extra hours to pick up some of the financial slack we’ve been feeling around here. My husband is still working, but sometimes it feels like it’s a day to day thing. I don’t want to be caught off guard if something should happen to his job (which I’m praying nothing will).
I do know many people who have indeed lost jobs and there are many companies out there that claim to help people in their job search, just be careful. As with any business, some are more reliable than others, so do your research. One company that is leading the way in executive recruiting and individual job searches is Lightship Research. They provide direct access to those who are trying to help you find your perfect job. They even go so far as to provide a FREE resume critique! The following is a testimonial for LIGHTSHIP RESEARCH.
“I lost my job as Vice President of Sales with a national technology firm and signed up for assistance with a career management firm that turned out to be terrible. I gave them $10K and they did nothing, not even return my calls. I called my lawyer and he got most of my money back and said that his neighbor had used a company called Lightship Research http://www.lightshipresearch.com. They charged less than a quarter of what the other company did and were accessible and they’re for me every step of the way. I even felt like the whole team were my friends and went through the same emotional ups and downs as I did through my job search. It took me 9 weeks and now I am the VP of Sales for a fast growing biometrics company. These are highly hard working and ethical people. I recommend them to everyone I talk to.” -M. Olson, PA
If you’re in need of help searching for a job, you may want to give them a try.
As you all know, I recently began a 7 week employee training course that would lead to a great work at home position as a reservation specialist for a major international hotel chain. Today was the beginning of my fourth week, half way through, and I was both excited and nervous. Then, the other shoe dropped.
At 1:00 today, the call center director came into our training classroom and informed us that, due to the current U.S. economy which is resulting in people not traveling, all training classes were being cancelled and as of today, we were no longer employed. Yep, it sucks.
I’d write more, but that pretty much reflects how I’m feeling right now. I guess it really was too good to be true.
My sister had this on her site at The Pond and tagged me. I think I would’ve shared it even if she hadn’t tagged me because I really do think it is important.
I don’t really talk much politics and I believe everyone has a right to their own opinion. However, everyone in the United States also has a right to vote. Please don’t tell me you’re one of those people that sits around complaining about the administration, or the economy, or the war, or anything else affecting our lives, but you don’t take advantage of your right to vote. Voting is so simple and yet, one of the most important events we can take part in. I don’t just vote in the big presidential elections, but I also vote in local elections that affect my daughter’s education, our property taxes, our utility bills, etc. and so should you.
This is a great video.
If the deadline in your state hasn’t all ready passed, I know it has here in Texas, please make sure to register to vote.
This post is directed to all the women out there, sorry men.
I never thought I would say this, but there is now something positive to come out of menstruation, specifically, the menstrual blood. The truth is, recent studies have shown that menstrual blood contains stem cells and these stem cells, if collected, have the potential to be life saving. For something so special to be found in something that has caused me such misery for the past 35 years, I am amazed.
C’elle menstrual blood cells have recently shown to have the potential to help in future treatments of heart disease, stroke, MS, diabetes, Parkinson’s and even Alzheimer’s. C’elle has patented technology with its easy to use collection kit. While I realize that stem cell research can be controversial, we’re talking about something that is naturally discharged from a woman’s body every month and in my mind, that is a completely non-controversial of utilizing potentially life saving stem cells. Considering my own dad suffered from diabetes, as did his mom, it is something I may have to deal with as I get older.

Today, Thursday, August 7th is Miracle Treat Day at Dairy Queen.
All proceeds that Dairy Queen makes off their Blizzards will be going to the Children’s Miracle Network. What better way to enjoy a blizzard than to eat it knowing that you are helping children all over North America.
