I'm applying for a job......

[DianaB]

Actually...it's a couple of jobs, one is a part-time job at the hospital and the other job is full time at the bank. Things have gotten tight for us since Feyn came back to farming. Glen bought equipment to work all the ground that we gained when Feyn quit but now that Feyn has his ground back it's caused a hardship on us. I'm not really sure about this but in the end it will help us out. I've worked a few jobs in the past.....not anything for long periods of time but jobs mostly to fill in or help out. I have my resume all ready to take in and it's been proof read by Dae Lynn......so we'll see what happens. I'll be taking them in on Monday. Cross your fingers!!!!!

[Lindsey]

Wow, I hope you get one of them! Or an offer on both, because a choice is always nice ;) My fingers are crossed for you!

[paula1961]

Good luck Diana!! Whoever gets you will sure be getting a terrific lady to work for them.:) Let us know how it goes.

[gja1000]

Good luck Diana! Of course I hope you get the one at the hospital :D

[Shada]

Good luck!! I am sure you will be offered one.. or both!!!

[DianaB]

Thanks everyone!!!

Shada, I'm not so sure. My work record isn't the best. I know that I can do the work but I also know that there are people more qualified and with better resumes than what I have. We'll just see what happens.

[JJJ]

Good Luck!!!

[Gina]

Good luck Diana! You will do just fine... :)

[Blueyes]

That's great Diana! If you had your choice, which job would you take?

[Marilyn]

Wow, keep us posted!!! Hope you get one you really like!!

[judy]

Good luck Diana! I hope you get the best possible situation, whichever it is. I would hire you in a heartbeat! You have such positive energy. I sure would rather have you than someone with a "better" resume anytime!

[DianaB]

Judy, you are so sweet!!!

Betsi, I think if I had a choice that I'd want the job at the hospital. It's a part time job and I wouldn't be working so closely to a lot of other women.

One problem I would have with working at the bank is that I'm friends with a girl that stole a lot of money years ago from the bank. I wasn't friends with her until after it happened and she had served her time but I know that there's still a lot of hard feelings over it.

[Janet]

Good luck Diana. I know what you mean about hardship right now. I still haven't had any calls on the puppies (which is unusal by now) and our renter just lost his job. We just don't have it to make the payment for more than a month or two. Just when I'm able to not worry so much about Mom...this happens. Not sure how much more my nerves can take.

I've applied at some different spots here in town, but so far no luck. I need to bring in some money.

[judy]

Times are so hard Janet! Jessie was having the same problem with her pups, but it has picked up all of a sudden. They had to cut the price in half though.

I hope something good turns up very soon!!!

[DianaB]

Our newspaper only comes out twice a week and the ad for the job at the hospital wasn't in the Thursday paper (which we get on Friday). I couldn't make it to town so I ended up e-mailing my resume in late that evening. I really would have prefered to take it in but didn't want to miss being included in their choosing.

Well, I went in to the hospital yesterday to touch base since I'd e-mailed instead to coming in and I found out that the job had already been filled. I talked to a friend of mine and she implied that I probably would have been chosen. Can we say.....Bummer!!!! She told me not to give up because some times the person they chose doesn't work out. I left my resume with her and told her that I was very interested if things don't work out. It did make me feel good that she though I would have gotten the job......man......I really wanted to work there but I guess we'll see what happens. The hospital's often hiring office work so there's always next time.

I also took my resume into the bank and just dropped it off. The girl that I talked to said that they'll be choosing on Friday but the girl that's leaving isn't going until September so I'd probably have a month before I'd start working there. I guess we'll just see what happens.

I'm kinda nervous about leaving Jazzi and Reuger at home that much but Glen's in and out of the house sometimes. They can stay outside but when it's so hot I know that they don't like it. Oh well....I guess we'll figure it out.

[JJJ]

How about a retiring home you can check out?

[DianaB]

Well....bummer......I got a letter from the bank saying that the job had been filled. There's a job at the library so I have my resume all ready and I'm going to take it in. Amy worked there for awhile and she really liked it. It doesn't pay well but it will be experience for if another job comes open. It's just a very small library and I already know several of the women who work there so it wouldn't be too hard to start so......we'll see what happens!!!!

[paula1961]

Sorry the bank job didn't work out Diana. Hopefully you'll get the one at the library. Crossing my fingers that you'll get it.:)

[gja1000]

Sorry Diana - maybe the library will come through!

[Janet]

I hope you get the position Diana. I've put applications in all over and so far nothing. I can only work part-time because the health insurance I have through the school is so good. I do hope I can find something...the extra money would really be a blessing.

Diana....how is your flea market booth doing?

[Blueyes]

Diana and Janet, I hope you both find the perfect job for you soon! I would love to work in a library, but I'd probably get fired for reading and not working:p

[Lindsey]

I would love to work in a library, but I'd probably get fired for reading and not working:p

DITTO!!!! :D

Good luck Diana and Janet, I hope something works out soon!

[DianaB]

Diana....how is your flea market booth doing?

Well......one month I made $1.50 and that was only because he didn't charge me for the booth rental!!

I made a little more than that then next month but I don't remember what it was.

In July I made $16 or $17......and my last check was for $30 something so it's improving. Between taxes and the economy it hasn't done very well. I'm going to start selling on e-bay soon because I have several things that I think will do better there.

When Glen and I were in Joplin the other day at a large flea market there we asked about booth rental. We talked to a woman who advised us to bring stuff in in October through December. She thought that they might sell well then. I've got to show some profit or I won't be able to take what I've bought off for a business expense so I've got to get busy!!!

[Janet]

I have some dog clothes and video games that I would like to sell, but don't know without running to the Post Office about the shipping costs. We even bought some books to learn how to sell on ebay, but so far, I haven't read them...lol. I need to get busy too!

[DianaB]

You can figure out shipping costs if you have an accurate scale. You just weigh your item in the box....or in your case I would suggest shipping in brown envelopes because it would be cheaper.....then you can figure it out on USPS.com website and print out your postage as well. It's really very easy!! Then you don't have to run to the post office all the time to check on how much it would cost and you can mail right from your own mailbox......no trips to town!!!!

[Janet]

Diana....you sure make everything seem simple. I will be checking it out soon.
