Taxidermy lovers dream

I just interviewed with this lady whose husband is a game hunter... She wants some cleaning help. I may consider it if the money is right.

Among the animals her husband has hunted and displayed in their home:

Giraffe
Hippopotamus
Lion
Several different kinds of deer and mammals with antlers
Grizzly
Bear
Javelina
Zebra

I'm sure I forgot some others but there were so many...

... On second hand... Do I refuse the job based on principal? I don't like endangered animals being killed just for fun... It seems like a disturbing hobby.

Sounds like a set up for the most dangerous game, watch out

lilho - 09/19/13 00:53
I can't go back there... Too scary.

And be sure to observe them carefully while asking what (who) they used as a bait for that Grizzly.

Hmmmm. Makes me wonder what happened to their last housekeeper?

tinypliny - 09/16/13 15:15
I would take it if it were based on a principal amount of $$$. ;-)

Where is my gym card?

Where is the mail key?

Did that just accidentally rhyme? Oh, and I want to be a rapper... It's a dream.

I want to be a

I just received the most glowing letter of recommendation, and I can't wait to apply or more jobs. Even if nobody reads it, it feels really good to have worked for someone who is so complimentary and confident about my abilities.

Might go into tutoring, or start a business doing that. I may have realized I really want to work in a more one-on-one capacity with several clients/students. I think it's what I'm best at.

Anywho, I am so excited to design and plan my Halloween costume. I think I want to be a forest fairy... With leaves and a brown skirt and top, and a way to work in lots of gold accents and a gold body chain and shimmer- really just a spectacle.The best part of this is the fact that I finally joined the gym and I can't wait to pound that treadmill like a little hamster. And perhaps hit the weights... After some instruction as not to injure myself. I have this fantasy of being strong enough to do a one arm push-up, and being in the best shape for Ho-low-ween.

There's a new baby in my life. :)

tinypliny - 09/12/13 18:48
Hmm.. I can't even do a two arm push-up. Oh well.

Jobz

Week 3 or 4 of my career search...

Had an interview. It was a no go. I think I was over qualified... I feel like being a nanny is below me now. The family seemed upset when I asked about benefits and health insurance... Ummm? Full time jobs should provide cost effective health benefits as well as life insurance, 401k opportunities, and other benefits. They probably hired someone without a degree who didn't want 25/hr.... And that's on the books. So I would actually make much less having to procure my own health insurance and having taxes taken out.

I may be interviewing for a job with CPS soon. Government jobs usually provide the best benefits however this would be hard work. I'm fine with working hard, but I get emotional when it comes to children and their well-being.

Anyway... I feel this is a step in the right direction. My uncle who is a high level CEO said my résumé is on point... But to make it two pages rather than one.

I'm ending this week feeling renewed and ready to go full force. Yea buddy.

On other news, my friend has a cute lil baybay... He's 3 weeks and just so good. I love that lil babe. He's so good and barely cries and just loves to be cuddled and given attention. :)
