Stress, Stress, Stressy!!

So... I've had to re-apply for my job. Which, to say the least, has been rather piss me off in a very stressful kind of way.

Us "temp" girls were suppose to "roll over" into the full time permanent jobs that opened up.

We are all excited and happy and relieved. We all took a chance taking this "temp" job but knew that it would all end up okay in the end.

Then.... the full time permanent jobs were reclassified, resulting in oh about eleven thousand dollars a year more in salary. And then the delays began.

I'm not sure why, but I have some ideas. None of which I can put down here on the w w w.

Anyway, the deadline for the job was on Monday, midnight Pacific time. I had submitted mine about twelve hours before the deadline.

And then, being one of the more patient type people in the world (no really I am... I'm just nosy that's all) I went on the job site a few hours later. Don't know why, just did.

Actually I was thinking that they saw my application, went "whoaaaa let's grab HER right away", well, not really, I know that this stuff takes a lot longer than 2 or 3 hours... I'm learning that it could probably take, if it wanted to, two or three YEARS!!! Anyway, I see that they've extended the freakin' deadline for two more days!!!

I tell ya.... this process may just kill me. Really. Only because I know that my application is stellar, meets all the criteria and should make it through the macro running applicant screener program that decides who's moves forward and who gets left behind.

But seriously, for a chick who was suppose to just "roll over", they sure are making the rolling difficult.

And, the worst thing about this whole process? Well, a couple of things? I have been far too pre-occupied with selling myself to a macro running applicant screener program to be able to hold up my personal goal of every second day on the blog.

And my silver "highlights" seem to have doubled.

Wait, that might have something to do with living with three males and four dogs... I'll need to re-think where to lay the blame for the increase.

  1. Best of Luck 'Sis,
    I too, am in an identical situation in which I needed to submit an application for a job that should have been mine in the first place.
    After all, I am also "steller".

    Actually, there are at least 4 people who are qualified to take it away from me - we'll see Dec. 3rd

    Your brother.
