I had to come to internet explorer because google didn't seem to remember that I had a blog on it's platform!! That is some total bullshit!!!!!!! And as much as I hate google and msn, they are necessary evils right now. I guess...
Anyway, I do have a blog of wonderful randomness so here goes...
I am currently the regional recruiter for a major aviation company. It sounds good but really what I do is try to convince people that making just a little over minimum wage is a GOOD thing!!! When in reality we all know it's not. But if all you have is a high school diploma these are the jobs you start out with. So I schedule interviews and at the bottom of my lil confirmation email it says DRESS APPROPRIATE yadda yadda yadda... BUSINESS CASUAL. Yesterday this young lady comes in with a top knot but then the rest of her hair was out so it was almost like she forgot she had a top knot. I can't remember for sure but it was a sweatshirt and maybe jeans which was not really appropriate BUT THE KICKER was the green lipstick. This is not Sephora or Ulta or Mac for that matter. No matter how fashion forward you think green lipstick is, it is never EVER right for an interview!! NOT EVER. So she comes in a 1/2 hour late ( I mean she did call but... I guess I should mention the other young man that came in was also late, but he was very polished looking and well spoken so the hiring manager hired him anyway), struts past all of us in the office. I cringe because I'm like DAMN I don't even have a chance to go tell her to go take that shit off her lips and just in general get herself together because she just looked a mess, and maybe this is what millennials are used to, just rolling out of bed and coming to get job right quick. She goes in to interview with the hiring manager who really REALLY tries to give everyone a chance but after it was all said and done she came out and said "I just have to draw the line at green lipstick!" and does not hire her. I felt bad but what could I have done? Do I need to spell out what is and is NOT appropriate? Do I need to have a link to what is and is NOT business casual? I just feel some type of what that my young sistas don't even know what to do when coming to an interview. And I am a horrible interview!! I usually barely get the job even with my extensive skill sets. But I look the part! I'm nice to the secretaries and receptionists! Last week at a job fair I was asking a lil girl a few questions as she was signing in and she had major attitude. She didn't know who I was and if I had the last say on who gets hired, so you just have to be pleasant cause you never know!!
I am so eagerly awaiting spring. I have 4 peppermint hydrangeas in my kitchen sink waiting for no more frost so I can put them in the ground. I got them on the QVC and I honestly think they sent them too early. We all needed a few more weeks in this zone. I bought 5 bags of mulc and flowers from Lowes. I want to hit up the Home depot to get more annuals and herbs. I. AM. READY!!!
so... the dinning room table needs some TLC. It was good for Thanksgiving (yes I know that was back in November) and book club when I hosted a few weeks ago. But some how the paper just makes it's way and refuses to leave! I really need to just file. Actually what I need to do is box up the stuff I have in my current filing 'system' and file this new shit! It's a never ending cycle!!
This might be all the randomness I have in me today....
Hmmm wait do I talk about the one co-worker who had all her teeth pulled and just got her new teeth and she looks like bugs bunny?!?!? Do I talk about the other co-worker who came into the office breath smelling like a full bag of onions but yet refused my offer to a nice stick of gum?!?!? Do I talk about my cheap cousin who doesn't want to pay for the events at the upcoming family reunion but will drive 8 hours just to meet and greet with all the folks who had paid?!?!? Since we talking about teeth... do I talk about my ADORABLE great-nephew who has 2 teeth that are so freaking cute!?!?!? Or maybe the cutie who came into the office who I am totally staring out because I can't figure out if he is missing a tooth or if the tooth is behind another tooth!!?!? But he has this gorgeous salt and pepper hair and a Trini accent and if I wasn't already taken I would be like Hey HOW YOU DOING in my best Joey accent!!? Do I talk about how my senior citizen cat likes to make sure I see her licking her lady parts?!?!?! (she coulda did that shit upstairs!!!) I will say I need to remember to turn the heat down to my normal 66 because it is chilly on my first floor but I will be baking if I leave it at 70 and be throwing comforters and blankets off the bed if I leave it. I will also say that my doctors who's number I have memorized went and moved offices thus changing numbers and I can not remember where the hell I put her new number and I need to find it before Friday cause I have to refill a prescription and then do I call her first or call the pharmacy to have them call her? I need to ask my girls who also go to her if they have her new number... wait it think I have a card. No wait thank you Google!
