Prayers please!!!!!

Hey guys, I need my family to pray for me! There's a job opportunity at a law office that I found on Craigstlist and it's PERFECT! It's open 8 AM to 7 PM Monday-Friday at thirteen dollars an hour. They have full time and part time positions open. I opted for full time during the summer but part time once school starts. I REALLY want this job! I would have to answer phones, schedule appointments, and run company errands.

If I get this job I would probably need to get a car. But, at thirteen an hour I thnk I could afford a very cheap car. I really want this job! It's so perfect...the only things that could keep me from getting this job is my age and maybe that I don't have any experience in this type of field.

I'll keep you all posted! Prayers please!

the hunt...

for a job continues...

I have a few leads. One of my roommates works for a psychiatrist's office as a secretary. Someone offered her a job at another office but she turned that down. She's going to give me his contact information...I would LOVE that job! So we'll see where that one ends up going.

I applied at Applebees...there are SO many restaurants in Bowling Green. It's kind of ridiculous hahaha!

I applied for a position at a Direct Tv telemarketing thing...yeah I don't exactly know what the job title is but in essence it's telemarketing to Direct Tv customers for upgrades on their current plans. Yep...I would pretty much just be calling people and reading a script off a computer screen. Would I enjoy it? Nope. Is it a job with a payroll? Yep. So at this point beggars can't be choosers. If anything I can get a job I don't enjoy while still looking for a different job. I just know I need something to occupy my time with.

Other than that life is good! Hopefully some of you will make some time to come visit...I can dream can't I? Looking forward to seeing some of the family at the end of the month! Love you all!

P.S. I love sweet tea!
  • stylinmama
    Try calling around to salons in the area to see if they're hiring receptionists. A job that comes with free haircuts! :) I definitely share your love of sweet tea, yum!

    Also, try looking for temp to hire companies online. Call them and get in to apply (the application process will probably consist of computer tests) and to interview. They do all the work for you because companies actually come to them requesting workers. Many of the temp to hire places specialize in administrative positions which you'd be great for! I'd definitely look there.

    Some places to look for jobs:
    - newspaper classifieds
    - craigslist.com
    - monster.com
    - church (people may know someone who is hiring)
    - college campus (maybe a job board?)
    - job fairs
    - temp agencies

    Good Luck!!

    Sweet tea tastes like tea syrup that someone forgot to dilute! Bleah! :) Good luck with the job search. Ashley's suggestions are all very good!

Missing Home...

Well, I am all moved in and everything is going really well. As I speak there is a MAJOR thunder and lightening storm outside...LOVE IT! It's so weird...the weather changes at the drop of a hat. I woke up this morning to sunshine and not a cloud in the sky...three hours later it's craziness outside! Still haven't found a job but I'm keeping my eye open. I've only been here a week...not so bad, right? I know I need a job...but hey, I'm doing what I can! The roommates are awesome. We get along really well, and so far no conflicts which I am totally stoked about! YES! But...even though things are great here I can't help but miss Beaverton.

I miss my church family like crazy. Not hearing all of your voices on Sundays and Wednesdays is hard. And it's weird getting used to a new voice singing next to you. I know it seems weird, but I really do miss hearing Baboo, Jordan, or Brandon singing next to me. I guess you don't realize all the little things you appreciate until you don't have them anymore.

I miss my dad's food analogies in his sermons. I miss the facial expressions, and the light that comes into his eyes when he makes a funny joke and knows it's hilarious. I miss hearing him laugh before he even says what he's thinking. I miss the dreaded questions from "Would you rather." I miss sitting across from him eating Korean food and talking about life plans and just random stuff. I miss his goodnight hugs and kisses. I miss hearing him say "I love you..." every night before I go to bed.

I miss Zach's complete randomness. I miss him waking me up with his overly energetic "Good morning!" when I'm sooooo not ready to wake up. I miss him randomly saying "Kiki you're such a good sister...I love you!" I miss listening to him talk about his headers and truck stuff. I miss watching movies with him and him constantly asking what's going on.

I miss mom's cooking for SURE! I miss laughing until we cry. I miss watching Password at one in the morning. I miss playing trivia games and being put to shame with how much more she knows.

I miss Ashley's crazy, fun attitude on life. I miss singing Jars of Clay together in the car. I miss drinking Chai and talking about what the future holds. I miss hearing her tell stories in her Bo Bo voice. I miss her laugh. I miss her doing my hair. I miss quoting movies together. I miss talking until three in the morning.

I miss Brian making me laugh until I can't breathe any more. I miss his loving attitude toward me no matter what. I miss the advice sessions and hugs. I miss him in general. I mean come on! It's BRIAN! How can you not miss the guy?!?!?!?!

So...pretty much I am loving this new chapter of my life...but I miss home. I miss all of you guys like crazy...and I'm looking forward to seeing you again sooner than I think. Don't get me wrong, I am completely ready to take on the challenge of living on my own. I don't regret moving here. But, I am missing things quite a bit. Love ya!

    I can definitely relate to this post! It makes me think about my home in ID and how much I miss it and everything I miss about it...It is so hard to be away but I have had to learn to bloom where I am planted and I know you will do the same! What an exciting time for you!
    by potatoprincess at 06/04/09 11:22AM
  • littlemissk
    I missing you, too. I'm always thinking about you everyday Sis. I can't wait to come visit you! I LOVE YOU KIKI! :]

Thanks for being there every birthday and every Christmas...

Thanks for teaching me that hard work is the key to success....

Thanks for constantly being an example of generosity...

Thanks for supporting my decision to go to college as a social worker...

Thanks for always saying you're proud of me...

Thanks for just being Poppa...I love you...I miss you...I didn't spend as much time with you as I would have liked...but I thank god for all the time I did have...

You were taken so suddenly...and I wasn't expecting your passing...but thank you so much for being here.
