Job Searching

I HATE job searching.... with a passion..... it makes me depressed. Of course, being off my meds probably doesn't help, but still... some of these adds are quite INSANE in what they are asking in an employee.

Take for instance the Upper East Side family who "wants a College GRADUATE who is CPR certified, computer "savvy", who is willing to be able to assist with family "assistant" duties AND care for the family pets" ...... REALLY people?!?!?!? I thought slavery was abolished during the last century!!

Then there is the SoHo family who are "Seeking a kind, loving and responsible nanny to care for a baby, 3 year old and 5 year old (rarely all at once!) BOTH parents work so you are the sole care giver. $15 per hour AFTER taxes. Applicants must have the x-factor that makes you "get" kids. Experience and references a must and ability to commit to the job."

Then of course there is the New Jersey family who wants: Exceptional Every Other Weekend Nanny Needed (Allendale, NJ)

GRRRRRRRRRRR I just HAAATE this......

edit: ...and as I keep searching it just gets more and more ridiculous...

"Full time position with a family with two young children. Candidates must have a college degree (earned in the U.S.), and have three or more years of nanny experience working full-time with preschoolers/toddlers/infants. Competitive compensation tied to experience and background. If this sounds like you, please send your resume (including education and professional experience) and a brief note describing your approach to working with children. Please do not apply if you do not meet these requirements. Compensation: $750+ per week

YIKES!

For heaven only knows WHAT reason, I have now joined Twitter.... Insanity?!?! Probably... at least that's the only reason I can come up with at the moment... sigh...

So I am following 47 people/groups, some are news agencies, some are stars/actors/musicians, and some are teams of one sort or another.... (SK Brann) the most exciting for me though is that there are 11 peeps following me..!!!!! I KNOW!!!!
Although I must admit I only know one of them personally... but hey... :)

Anywho, so that's the latest craziness going on here... well that, and I got downsized and am looking for a new job AGAIN...

Lastly, if anyone out there in the blogger universe wants to hook up on twitter, tweet me! ;)

Another window....

I have moved, thus the lagging in writing lately... I've been insanely busy packing, cleaning, sorting, packing, sorting, packing, working, packing, sorting, cleaning...... you get the idea.

AND Line is in Loopyland, which means simply she is off her meds.... BAD idea, but it will hopefully be rectified soon...
gotta find a doc in the new area....
note to self...

Now, there are no exsisting pictures of me packing, but that might be just as well.... lol... My new place will be seen as soon as I can get my butt down to the store and get proper batteries for my camera... 'cause it's not taking pictures now apparently... maybe it's on strike..?!?!?

The new family is nice, but it's weird dealing with a TWEENager.... I have no clue what goes on in that head of hers.... and I can't "read" her or anticipate what she'll think or like.... it's FRUSTRATING as all Hades!! But she is cute, quiet and hopefully we'll get along just fine... I'm just nervous, having not dealt with a 12 yr old for a long time...
Just Breathe Line!!

So there, that is the latest from Line's Loopyland...
for now...
OOOOOHHHHH
EXCEPT...

I almost forgot to mention the geniousness of Line.... *sigh*
I was cleaning up in my blog, playing with my design, outlay etc. when I managed to DELETE my Kindred Spirits list... (that is the name of the list with my friends' pages...)
so if there is anyone out there in the web world who reads my blog, who is my friend... please send me the link to your blog, so I can add it to my fave's list....
PLEASE :)
I love to catch up, and have a little glimps into your life... even if you haven't updated your blog for a YEAR or FIVE... please let me in?!?!?
