It was restful! Much needed. But craving kicken in on Sunday. was not a good thing. I hate been hungry all day even after eatting.

 

[Stacey]

Glad it was restful Jodie!! Uggg I hate being hungry too. I just finished 1/4c of oats and I'm still hungry
Sorry honey!!
Its suppose to get nasty here today

 

[Fitgirl70]

Oh my gosh Stacey....good luck on that interview sweetie pie. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

 

[Stacey]

Thanks honey!!!

 

[Stacey]

Oh my gosh I need to wakeup!!! I got up at 5:40am this morning... and I'm yawning!

I need some interview tips..like what kind of questions should I ask???? (Remember its for the sales home job)

HELP!

 

[atherjen]

sounds like you had a great weekend Stace!!

hmm how about a cup of coffee to wake you up?
you know... even some stretching helps to perk me up! im weird though!

Good luck at the interview! I wish I could offer tips.. but Im just a young pup! lol

 

[Stacey]

uggg I got 5 notices in the mail from the Toll Road authority -- I owe $115... trying to make the company pay this since I didn't know My EZ TAG wasn't working till Friday.

 

[Stacey]

Thanks JEN! Yeah, stretching helps me too.. I think I will go do that in the bathroom..thanks girlie!!!

How are you??

 

[atherjen]

whats toll road authority??? yikes thats alota money!! what did you do?? I dont get it! lol

Im doing good. wishing it wasnt raining!!!

 

[Stacey]

awww stretching does Help!

 

[Stacey]

Jen-- We have a highway type road--where you pay to use it--it cuts out a lot of time on my drive to work, and its the best way to get here.. well you have to pay 1.25 everytime you drive through a toll booth. I go through 2 on the way here..two on the way home. And My company gave me an EZ Tag 2.5 yrs ago... where you go through the fast lane, and you don't have to pay..you pay it monthly..well they have been taking a picture of my car every weekday for the past month of me driving through it..hehe and I didn't know.. thought the company was still paying it.. found out on friday they do not pay for it anymore.. SO I owe a lot of money. However I might be getting the co. to pay for it.. looks like they might. But they wanted me to fight it first..telling the authorities that I didn't know I didn't have one.

Fun
Oh GIRL Its gonna rain here a lot today and tomorrow.

 

[JLB001]

Girlie...don't say your a people person. Everyone says that! Be unique!

 

[Stacey]

Your Right Jodie!! Thanks.

I am going to make sure I say that I think I will be a great addition to their team.

 

[DrChiro]

try to incorporate something like:
i am self-motivated
detail oriented
punctual and responsible
learn fast
work well alone as well as being a great team player
like to be challenged
want room to grow and advance becasue you want to know you have a good future with the company (they like to hear this crap so they dont think you are gonna quit in 4 months)


just some ideas.....hope they are helpful....good luck with the job!

as far as the $115...do you have or know a lawyer that could call them or send a letter on his letterhead threatening legal action?

(they tend to listen to that sort of crap....or your hubby and i can go break their legs)

 

[atherjen]

Ahhh we have toll highways and bridges here too! same idea!
but damn that sucks!! I hope that you dont have to pay it! its not like you knew eh!! good luck with it!

Craig-thats some great advice!

 

[DrChiro]

You can use the people person thing just say it a different way:

"I know it is such a cliche to say I am a people person, but i really am....some people find it stresful dealing with people...but i really feed off that energy when i interact with people...i look foward to it....that is one of the reasons i want this job...because i will be dealing with people!"


then smile alot

bang!...you're hired!

 

[Stacey]

WoW Craig That is some great great advice!!! Thank you sooo much!! Now I gotta remember it..hehe..

Thanks!!

No.. I don't know a lawyer.. really sucks.

 

[Fitgirl70]

I would tell them it's their responsibility to pay it too Stacey. Not only have they been paying for it for the past 2 years, but they failed to inform you that they were discontinuing to pay for it and it would further be your responsibility. If at that point they did not agree to do so, I would turn it over to an attorney.

You know the better way would be to put that into a letter to your management, so you would have it in writing as well

 

[Stacey]

Thats a very good idea FG!
Thanks, I believe it is their responisbilty to pay it also!!!

 

[Fitgirl70]

Stacey, what time are you leaving honey????

 

[Jenny]

Good luck today honey!! I know you're going to do great

 

[Stacey]

Fitgirl~~ I'm leaving at 2:20pm or 2:30pm.

THANK YOU JENNY!!!
