» Victoria - 23-05-02:55 -- I pray everyone has a blessed day tomorrow.. Night all..
» Victoria - 23-05-01:49 -- @ amy - I love history.. praying it all works out for you.
» Bob M - 22-05-23:07 -- And you'd probably have a good time.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-22:58 -- Might look good on a resume for a history instructor, too.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-22:58 -- That's something we talked about. There is a historical archive in town that always needs volunteers, so I may look into volunteering there a few mornings a week.
» Bob M - 22-05-22:32 -- If you don't get employed, what will you do?
» amyrose5 - 22-05-21:25 -- Thanks. We'll survive if I'm not employed at all. But I'm tired of surviving and I'm not taking classes this summer.
» Bob M - 22-05-21:15 -- @amyrose, I can feel your frustration all the way up here in the Great White North.
» Bob M - 22-05-21:14 -- He should have, though.
» Bob M - 22-05-21:14 -- @boymom, no, I don't think so.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-20:46 -- They can take a college kid with recent retail experience over a sub teacher with retail experience 19 yrs ago.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-20:45 -- Too many people looking. PierOne person told me about ten apps today.
» RobMille - 22-05-20:38 -- I can't imagine for the life of me (1) working in retail or (2) being a person in retail trying to hold being a teacher against someone looking for summer work.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-20:25 -- Our experience doesn't count.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-20:25 -- It's just a bad time to be looking for any job. Teachers and former teachers I know are not having any luck.
» captain_solo - 22-05-20:16 -- @amyrose5 - they are all just feeling inferior because you did a real job - there's a teacher in my home, so I know!
» boymom - 22-05-20:13 -- @BobM: did he donate it to Locks of Love?
» Lady Julian - 22-05-19:45 -- I could even do both at one time, if I followed THIS recipe: http://www.cookinglight.com/entertaining...page9.html
» Lady Julian - 22-05-19:44 -- spent the day writing a grammar diagnostic test. Now, to celebrate: Wine, ice cream, or both? Smile
» SomethingFundy - 22-05-19:32 -- i deserve more hours I think
» Bob M - 22-05-19:27 -- My son cut his hair after 18 months of letting it grow. You should see the difference.
» Qrayze - 22-05-18:56 -- wow, the shout box has become the Personal Notes forum AGAIN!!!
» amyrose5 - 22-05-18:18 -- And SF--I know you're not a moron. I think you're just still young enough to not be overqualified.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:41 -- May have to stretch that through until October.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:41 -- I have about $900 from April and May subbing (paid last Friday and on June 20).
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:40 -- Temp agencies here mostly supply manufacturing last time I looked.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:40 -- Which in retail may be a weakness.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:40 -- I'm not a moron.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:40 -- And it isn't as if I wrote on the app that I expect to be paid for retail like I was for teaching.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:39 -- Both of these ads specificaly said "apply in store".
» dramaturge - 22-05-17:38 -- Have you looked at applying to temp agencies? Also, a lot of places don't even want to see you in the store. You might have better luck just applying through their website.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:34 -- Pier One wasn't much better. Gave up and went home.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:34 -- And that "You can't expect a huge teaching salary here and paid three month breaks"
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:33 -- Told me "this is retail not some cushy teaching job"
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:33 -- Customer service rep at Bed Bath and Beyond was RUDE. And refused to let me wait for the supposed "immediate" interviews touted on the web and on a sign in the store
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:32 -- Applying for retail turned out not only futile, but also full of rude people.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-17:31 -- I sub anything they call me for...in the last two months, I've done preK, K, 4th and high school.
» SomethingFundy - 22-05-15:21 -- retail has caused my BP to raise a good 30 points on a given night.. sigh
» boymom - 22-05-15:03 -- Only tweens with credit cards count as people
» exOBCstudent - 22-05-13:34 -- What grade level do you sub Amy?
» notdrinkingthekoolaid - 22-05-13:13 -- Good luck, amyrose
» amyrose5 - 22-05-11:32 -- Because substitute teaching does not require flexibility, creativity, and dealing with people at all.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-11:31 -- And last round of applying resulted in being told my current job experience meant I can't deal with people.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-11:31 -- Not optimistic. My last retail work was 19 years ago.
» amyrose5 - 22-05-11:31 -- Heading off to apply for retail jobs. Blechh.
» C_Fresh - 22-05-08:05 -- Hey, techmedic!
» techmedic - 21-05-22:36 -- Hi guys/gals
» pastor's wife - 21-05-21:52 -- Drive safely!
» Bob M - 21-05-20:40 -- Its a half hour drive home after work. But I wear a helmet so if I fall asleep at least I won't die from head injuries.
» boymom - 21-05-17:06 -- Bummer Bob M; hope you get some sleep eventually.
