Job Search

So, now I am on the road to finding a new job, and let me tell you, I hate change. I like where I'm at currently, my bills are paid, my kids go to a o.k daycare..

So I started putting out resumes on www.monster.com and http://www.pacareerlink.state.pa.us/ as well as different websites. I've applied to Bank of America, Travelocity, Verizon Wireless, Collection Agencies, anything with 'customer service' functions. I abhore factory work, mainly because I can't stand for long periods of time. I guess the weight I packed on and having those kids kinda put my spine in a weak position. I can always go back to food industry.. not, plus I doubt I'd make enough to pay my car payment.

So Bank of America called, and they pay pretty well, the only problem I might run into are the shift hours. 12pm-8pm is a little bad for me, means I'd have to find a different daycare, and the drive would take me an extra 20 minutes to and from. We'll see how that works out, my 'pre-interview' is on my birthday, of all days, 5-04.

Now, scheduling time off may be a problem. My work, since they now know I will no longer be in their employ as of july, has seen to it that any vacation time I have scheduled prior to being notified of these lay-offs, that may put me over the 48 hr mark, is changed to VTO (Voluntary Time Off) so it means, that 1.) All the time I scheduled off for appointments will now be unpaid. 2.) trying to get time off for interviews now will be next to impossible.

Two bumbling idiots who work here, because they were fired straight out, decided to go to the local news station and tell everyone how bad RCN is. Ok. well, I'm not exactly thrilled with what RCN is doing, and I have alot at stake here, but, these people were fired for legit reasons.

The one just blind transferred someone without even asking what they needed or dealing with the call, the second one I'm told he hung up. Something to that extent, never trust gossip, but now it's all over the news and I'm wondering why the news station would even take them seriously. All it is, is a bunch of disgruntled employee's. Get over it, move on.
