Job

9/17/20 -- Well, I do strongly believe I am about to have a job.  I am scheduled to have an interview, this coming Monday, the 21st.  I have been patiently waiting for this moment.  After all the garbage that happened with the "so called job" that I thought I had for a whole month.  I know this one is for real, because the cooperated offices are in the town that I live in.  Also, I know another person who is actually working for them, in the department that I want.  She is the one who told me to apply.  I just had to wait til I had the proper laptop, with the specs that the company requires from their workers, that are working from home. 

  I even spoke a to close friend, to get his suggestions on making sure that I pass the interview.  I have been to many interviews, over the last several years, and for whatever reason I have not ever gotten a call or email back.  The only email that I have gotten is thank you but no thanks, type deal.  Consequently, I have been quite discouraged about even job hunting.  So anyway, my friend and his wife, gave me very good advice and I am planning on abiding by it.

  You see, I have my suspicions as to why I hadn't gotten call backs, from prospective employers: that is that I talk too much, when I am nervous or anxious.  By talking too much, I then answer questions with too much information.  

  This job is working for a mail order company, that sells all kinds of yummy stuff, along with household stuff and a variety of other stuff.  The call center, is relatively close to our downtown, but they are hiring work from home people.  I am not the type of person that likes to "cold call" someone to see if they want to purchase something, but to take orders and maybe suggestive sell something that might go with what they are already purchasing I can do.  The whole, working from home, thing sets quite well with me., too.

  I have already gone swimming, I suppose there are other things that I should be going, like household chores.

I Don't Know cont......

9/10/20 -- So, I have started going to the Y, in my town, to go swimming.  I so completely love going swimming!  I can only go for an hour a day but I have been going.  Now, due to asthma, I am not able to do a complete lap, swimming the front crawl, so I do the back stroke, and front float with kicking and I alternate with stopping halfway and swim the crawl and sometimes swim underwater.  I have signed myself up for everyday, most of it is early in the morning but there is one day where I have to go around 5pm.  I think that getting out of the house and doing something different and what I enjoy,

  I have gotten my laptop ordered.  I had to order a new laptop with windows10 and the correct spec. i.e. the correct processor, and the right amount of RAM memory, and the correct amount of hard drive memory.  I have the intentions of getting a job working for Colony Brands, everyone knows about Colony Brands.  The do have work from home order takers.  I have been getting emails and text messages from them, keeping in touch with me.  I know that this is real, because I know people that actually do it.

  Then,  there is the men that have been talking to me.  Yes, I said men, lol.  I have been talking to 4 different men, via google hangouts.  Three out of the four have contacted me via instagram. One of them I met on eharmony.  I have been talking to 3 out of the four, more than the one, however the one I have talked to (off and on) for the longest amount of time.

  Three of the men live either across the country from me, one on the east coast and one on the west coast, and the other is overseas.  The fourth one is only 3 hours from me and I have only seen him 3 times in 4 years.  That is why I am talking to so many, I highly doubt that anything serious will come out of any of them.  Therefore, I don't mind talking to them.  2 of them have actually asked me for some sort of financial help, however these two have continued to talk to me despite the fact that I said no, to helping them.  So, we'll see.

I Don't Know.....

 9/8/20 -- Well, I have gotten my membership at the YMCA, and let me just tell you, I am enjoying it.  I love the idea of getting up and going swimming every day.  I have different times set up, but I like it nonetheless.  Today, I just swam laps, tomorrow will be a water aerobics class, theThursday is swimming, very early, and Friday another water aerobics.  My mom really got me back into that, reminding me just how much I really enjoy swimming.  I went on Saturday morning and just loved it.  I feel like I get a more all around work out in the pool than I do when I just go for a walk, at anytime fitness.

   Then there are my neighbors - they are a married couple that seriously have chemistry problems.  Like, to me, they have zero chemistry between each other.  It seems to me that the reason they got married is more convenience, than anything else.  Like, I don't think that she wants to be alone, and he definitely can't do it alone.  I don't know for sure why they got married, he claims he loves her, but I really don't see the type of love that I expect to see between them.  They seem to do a lot of arguing, and talking and so far the two of them have not really helped me to see the love they claim they have for each other.

WELL THEN..........

 9/5/20 -- Well then.....So, I think I spoke about a job that I thought I had....

I had been "working" for a "delivery service" that entailed my receiving packages, checking the contents and uploading pics to the given website.  I was to get paid, once a month....however when it came to the time that I was to get paid, which happened to be this past Monday. NOTHING!!!!!!! I waited a couple days then on Wednesday morning, I ended up talking to a friend, who happens to be a neighbor.  She had actually called me early in the morning and we were talking.  I happen to tell her about that company and the fact that I hadn't gotten paid, yet.  So, my neighbor, googles "??????? Delivery Service" and it takes her to a legit company.  She tells me where to go and I find it too, got to the "contact us" page where I found a reddish pink box the says; something to the effect of -- we know there are people out there who are copying our logo and claiming to have positions for "product checkers" they are a fraud.  We have reported them to the BBB.  I was devastated when I read that.  I cried, then called my mom and cried a little more.  Mom was very supportive and understanding.  She offered to help me out financially even encouraging me to go ahead and get the membership at the Y.  

  I went down to visit my mom, she lives about a half an hour to the south of me.  She wanted to just give the money rather than sending it thru the mail because that would just take more time, that I really didn't want to wait.  Simply because once I saw that this "job" was fake, I had to close my bank account and open a new one, plus do a couple other things online.

  I now have pretty much everything squared away, although I have to wait til I get my new debit card before I can order my new laptop. Other than that, things are ok.  However, I am still feeling pretty discouraged right now.  I will even admit that I wanted to just drive off a cliff, while I was sitting at my desk and crying.

  As far as, that so called boyfriend, I still am not completely sure about him.  To be brutally honest, I am talking to 3 different men, on google hangouts.  All three of these men live outside of the state that I live in; one of the actually claims to be in Sweden.  I don't know that I truly consider any of them as boyfriend, but I don't mind talking to them.  The reason that I don't really consider them as boyfriends is; I highly doubt that anything will come of the relationship, regardless of what they say.  Therefore, I don't see any harm in talking to the three of them.
