Not sure this is the right board
Posted: Mar 12, 2013
Had a job interview on Friday. Really liked the manager and would love to work there. I was 1 of 7 people he interviewed for his assistant. Today, Tuesday, he is to go over his "notes" and make his decision. I am in my late 50's and not expecting to get the job. Too many "younger" people with better computer skills. I hate the thought of having to go through the whole process of interviews, etc. I have not looked for a job in over 15 years. Trying to find someplace where my skills will fit the needs of the company. Was never a very good student in high school and briefly attended a community college back in the stone age, or at least it feels like it. The thought of having to go back to school at my age and "try" to compete with much less younger people is frightening plus I do not know what field to get into. In looking in my area for jobs, pretty much all that is available is truck driver or waitress. Neither of which I want to do. This whole situation of NJA and not being able to get a full paycheck really chips away at the self confidence.
Thought this would be my last job and funny how Karma works. It may very well be my last job. HA. Careful what you wish for. Tee-hee.
thanks for listening.

Good luck. sm - Interviews.
[ In Reply To ..]Sending positive waves your way. I hope you get this job. If not, though, try to look at the interview process as something positive. As nerve-wracking as it is, each time you go through it, you gain experience, hopefully confidence, and maybe even some leads. (Eons ago I applied for a position in-hospital, didn't get it but was referred to another department that had not advertised yet. Got that one.) Now, give yourself credit for taking the steps to land an interview in the first place.
THANKS - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Thanks. I just needed a warm fuzzy from someone.

Not Too Sure If This Is The Right Board For ThisJul 20, 2011
I suffer from debilitating menstrual cramps, like I cannot even stand up straight. I usually take Toradol, which helps me. Yesterday, though, I couldn't get in to see my doctor for a refill and I was having horrible cramps. I went to the ER and saw the ER physician who gave me a shot of narcotics and (obviously) that made my pain go away. He also gave me a prescription for the same narcotic to use as needed (I only usually take 4 Toradol at most each month, ...
The BoardSep 10, 2012
The following has been done. 1. Deleted all condescending remarks to other posters or making fun of them. 2. Deleted all bickering. 3. Edited/deleted any words altering a political parties name to something obscene. 4. Deleted comments that have nothing to do with the subject matter being discussed. 5. Deleted obscene pics of political people. In other words, if you insult other posters or if you are not talking about the subject being discussed your post was edited/deleted. Peo ...
Bye All. I'm Done With This Board. Jan 14, 2013
No debates, just argumentative people who ridicule others here. I found another political site that has sensible debates and don't ridicule those who have opinions differing from themselves. Only a few I'll miss on here: RC, Trigger Happy, and The Sarge and a couple others that really don't use a moniker that I can remember. LOL Good luck to those who decide to stay. ...
Wow - This Board Is Getting HitFeb 26, 2013
With condescending, snide remarks. Here goes: Someone is upset that someone wrote a poster did not get something, figures. But ya'll are okay with: "The positions you state have about as much intellectual integrity as jello" (to spell it out - you are stupid (i.e. no intellect)) Well, darn, that's a great story, but I can't ''like'' it because - I know you meant it as ridicule (The whole post ridiculing what the OP posted, yet not talking about ...
This BoardSep 29, 2016
I started looking at this board mostly to see different people's thoughts and perspectives about this year's Presidential election. Instead, for the most part I found snarky - and even frequently way beyond the bounds of civility - comments and wild speculation, uninformed claims backed by absolutely no presentation of facts, focus on items of a ridiculously low level of importance to our survival as a country and a world leader, and apparently little respect for - primarily - De ...

Ad On Job Wanted Board.Feb 05, 2012
What if you saw an ad like this on Jobs Wanted: Old worn-out and partially deaf MT seeking unrewarding job with harsh work conditions. Prefer long hours and mush-mouth or Mickey mouse dictators. Also prefer demanding, irrational and unreasonable managers who fire employees at drop of a hat. I enjoy being kept in the dark and having complete silence when asking for assistance. I am also partially blind, so don't expect miracles. If the above qualifications meet your job requirement ...

Lets try to get back to topics, instead of calling conservatives trolls and all the other derogatory comments. Sure maybe your side thinks its funny. Well actually they do becuase you pat each other on teh back about what a great insult that was, but what it boils down to is that it is quite immature. Most of the posts are cutting others down. The term "teabaggers" is also offense and those who post know this. They are just trying to get a rise out of people. ...
In Reading Over This Board And Seeing That TheFeb 26, 2011
unions, combined with the recent relaxation of child labor laws, I guess working for a living will be a family affair. Who knows? Maybe it will bring families together. They can all get ready for work together. No more school since they will be closed and a thing of the past. The kiddies can work alongside Mom and Dad. The more kids, the better, since families will need all the money they can get while they're working and scratching their way over the pov ...
Some Thoughts About This Board, Etc. Mar 18, 2012
I respect everyone’s right to their opinions. We have a 2-party system in this country, thankfully, although at times I wish it were more, and if we all thought the same, or weren’t allowed to disagree, we would probably not be living in a democracy. This is my issue. When I hear, for example, some conspiracy theory on how Obama’s (or it could be anyone) agenda is to ruin the country, turn it into a socialist state (wh ...
Cleaning Up The BoardApr 19, 2012
I have gone through messages, deleted a few. If people are talking about the issues I do not want to delete those posts. I will try to address what I read below: Calling posters bully's. I read the messages they were referencing and there was no bullying. A poster is voicing their difference of opinion. That is not biullying. People are calling people names and when the name is called back to them they are claiming bulllying, lying, etc. Having a differ ...

I will work on earlier posts, but will have to be at a later date. I tried to be fair to everyone and hope this is. If someone really has a problem with a post they find most offensive feel free to post a link here and I will fix it. Thanks and have a great weekend. Moderator ...

I am in the process of cleaning up the board. I am trying to get the board back to it's intent - To discuss issues regarding politics. All insults, ridicule, disrespectful, harrassing disparaging, villification, etc posts will be gone. No side is free from blame. Any posts calling politicians names will be gone. Any posts calling posters names will be gone. Any foul language will be gone. Any taking the conversation off topic and trying to deny ano ...
Only Occasionally Come To This Board, OMGApr 14, 2016
Occasionally come here just to view different opinions on current topics. It is amazing to read this board today and what is important (or entertaining) to people. I understand that different people look at things differently, and I understand people have individual opinions. What I don't understand is the actual topics of conversation that some seemingly intelligent people consider important to discuss/debate. ...
Farther Down This BoardJan 20, 2017
someone called the Trump family beautiful and the Obamas plug-uglies. I find this comment so despicable I wanted to post about it again. The Obamas are a beautiful family with no, repeat NO personal scandals over the past 8 years. Compare this to Donald Trump who impregnated his second wife while he was married to his first wife and is now on his third and who has bragged about groping women while he was married to his third. This is only one small defect in the totally flawed ...

I Think The Snowflakes Need Their Own Board.Dec 10, 2016
They're certainly not posting anything of substance here. If all they want to do is criticize about nonsensical, inconsequential things, maybe they should commiserate in their own self-pity on their own board. Maybe they can come to some conclusions and come up with solutions to help themselves be positive and forward-thinking. I find it encouraging that a lot of liberals and #NeverTrumpers are pleasantly surprised and encouraged by what they see thus far. Did you all hear Paul Ryan on H ...
