Got the job

MidwestStepmom's picture

So i was offered the tech job today, very excited. I didn't get the fashion job, I guess Im not educated enough to talk about camel toes. Good news though, I have another final job interview set up for next week. This is a company that I've always wanted to work for!

Now I'm debating how I want to submit my resignation letter. Do I keep it classy or go with bitchy?

No skids for me this weekend.

BS 10 months got really sick yesterday and had to be hosptitialized so they could watch his breathing. First time we ever had an ER trip and it was scary. We finally got to come home 24 hours later. He is such a happy baby, even while being sick. He had Bronchoilities with RSV and an ear infection.

So no skids for me this weekend.

Had my interview today - horrible experience.

Today I had my store manager interview for the fashion company. After 2 weeks I finally found he right outfit. I was being interviewed be a recruiter and an assistant manager - red flag number one. The recruiter asked all the questions and it's more of an interagtion of past work experience. Some of her questions are fashion related. To me all this seems irrelevant, where's of the questions of; how are you going to increase sales, how do you plan to run operations - red flag two. Then as I am filling out the background info, the two ladies are talking about a camel toe on a manequin. WTF!

Please be honest

My profile pic is of my DS10 months. He is a flirt with all women and I'm always told how cute he is. There's no secret that I live in MN (it's on my profile). Minnesota is home to Target headquarters. Targets posts a lot of ads for catelog modeling in our area.

What do you ladies think? Is my baby actually cute for this? I think my baby is adorable, but I have "mother glasses" on, so that's the problem. I don't want to waste all day going on cold calls for nothing. Babies are paid $100 an hour and can work 3 hours a week.

I won't be leaving his picture up long.

O/T need fashion advice for interview

Earlier I posted about hating my job. I got word today that I have two final interviews next week. One as a salaried manager for a big box technology store and the other one is for a store manager of a big box fashion store.

I've been out of the fashion scene for awhile, as I've had to wear uniforms to work these last few years. I've also gained weight with the pregnancy. Does anyone have any interview fashion advice on what to wear? I obviously can't just go in withy my usual 3 piece suit.

I'm in a funk

This last week I was diagnosed with stress induced migraines. They were so bad that I was vomitting and was laid up in bed for a few days. I went in and got a shot and got some medication for future episodes. BS went to daycare for a few days and then my dh took a few vacation days to stay home and help. I return to work tomorrow, I hate that job, I'm sure that's where most of my stress is coming from. I've had promising interviews and have a final one tomorrow night.

I'm pretty sure I hate my ss13

Ss13 arrived last night for the weekend visitation. This is the first time he has been here since doing the partial inpatient therapy. He was diagnosed with unspecified disruptive behavior. I looked it up and CD and ODD fall into this category. I was diagnosed with ODD when I was a teen and I think it's all BUllSh!t. It just gave me me an excused and a label to be a bratty teen.

I don't want anything to do with my ss.

My dh can't seem to understand my issues with ss13. He steals my underwear twice and everyone wants to blame his disability or home life with BM. Those reasons should never lead to stealing my underwear, he is just a gross pervy boy. We bought a lock for our door, but it's making the term "home" lose it's comfortable meaning. I shouldnt have to lock up my stuff in my home.

Therapy session with Bm

Today we had a therapy session to talk about ss13 and his recent behaviors. This is the first time I was in the same room with Bm. At first I was nervous, but then I eased up because I realized she is a complete idiot. After listening to her talk, she comes across as a know it all. She brought up the idea to the therapist about a scaring ss13 with police. The therapist said that would not be a good idea because he is very sensitive right now. Even though the therapist said no, Bm still went on about how she had friends in law enforcement.

Ss13 went from 0 to 100

So ss13 was confronted about the underwear stealing at BMs house. He was also told that we also found some in his room here. He also got in trouble for stealing his Nintendo DS back from our house. We took it away because he is failing 4 classes. BM informed him that he will not be attending basketball anymore.
