Thanks for the great start to the weekend

So the greatest start to a weekend is what I had. Last week I was in part good mood and part bad. I was in a bad mood since my surgery got canceled. But I was in a good mood since it looked like very shortly I would be a part of the working public. Well I am not really sure but it’s looking like even that has come and gone by the wayside. On Friday at the end of the day I get an email saying thanks but no thanks about the job. Now here is the strange part, at least for me. Before I went on the interview on Wednesday I was told that they didn’t think I was a fit for the higher position. But for the second position I was a good fit. The thanks but no thanks email was about the first position that I went for. So at this point I am not sure if it was just for one position or both. For me this was just a crushing blow. A couple of years ago I went though a time where I would do great interviews but never get the job. I am talking about going on not one but upwards of 3 interviews. This went on for about a year and at points it really would beat me up. I don’t want to go through that crap again. So I have an email to the people that it needs to go out to. But since it was the end of the day I won’t be able to hear anything until Monday. Now that was Friday on Saturday I go out to get the mail. In the mail I get bills for all the appointments that I have had over the last month, 350 dollars worth of bills. OH you have got to be fucking kidding me. I don’t think so. On Monday I am going down to San Diego to talk with a lawyer and see if he can tell them to go and fuck themselves. This shit should have been caught before a month went by. I even asked them a few times if my insurance is covering this. I feel like I am going to just up and beat the hell out of a puppy or something.


UPDATE: oh yea all the talk of "great interview", "It's looking good" were all BS. I didn't get the job and for that matter all the people that were interviewed at this time didn't get in either. wow I guess even when you do good you have to live up to someone else ideas. Pissed off? yea I would say I am pissed. I mean really 3 interviews? fly me out to a different state to say no thank you? how would you feel?

OH you decide to tell me this now??

I have learned a very very important lesson today. I will never ever work for a company that doesn’t have a proper HR department. The last couple of companies that I have worked for, have had either no HR department or someone idiot who this was just another job description to their job title. The reason I am so pissed off at the moment. I was all ready for my knee surgery. When out of the blue I get a call that says my insurance has been terminated. Ok when in the hell did this come up? I have been going to the doctor and having test done for over two months now. In the two months not word one has been said about me not having insurance. As a matter of fact after asking them about it they said my insurance was all good. I can’t believe all this crap that is going on at this point. I now have no insurance and won’t be having my surgery. So until I get another job with some good insurance I am screwed. My knee will continue to give out and swell up. Oh and by the way when I called my old company to find out what happened? They sent me the “cobra” insurance but to my old address. Ok so how the hell didn’t I get it at my new address? My checks, insurance cards, bills and all the other crap could find me. I put in the change of address yet I didn’t get this paperwork that they said they sent. I am going to beat someone. Oh and by the way, my job interview went very well. I am not moving on to the next stage. With the crap comes some good then.

Hey what's Burning?

Man it’s just one fire after another here in California. I wanted to relax this weekend after the long week of travel and interviewing. This was the weekend I tried to take my mind off the fact that Tuesday I will allow someone to cut into me. As you can tell I am so looking forward to it. But I wake up on Saturday to major fires going on all around me. Damn, can’t we get one season without there being some kind of hell storm going on? I ran into some people from the fires at a Carl’s Jr. The talk of the whole place was the fact that the smoke from the fires is so dense all the way to Huntington Beach. This is some 20 miles away so you can have an idea of why it’s on our minds. But it was really moving to hear them talk about how when they left you could see the fire from their window. I don’t know what I would do, to know that leaving your home that day it could be the very last time you see it. All the memories that you have there from pictures to other things of value. I can say my heart goes out to all those effected by these fires and I wish the best for them.

the long week coming

Man last week seemed like it would never end. The week just creeps by while more and more things lined up for next week. I think the only days I don’t have something planed would be Monday and Friday. Tuesday I have to first go to the doctor for an EKG. Not really sure what they are going to do but oh well it’s something I have to do. After that there is some bridal event that we need to go to. It going to save us a lot of money in the long run, so I am all for it to tell you the truth. Now on Wednesday I get to fly out to Austin Texas. I have an interview with a company. Now the funny part about this is the job is located out here in Calif. But the big bosses are in Austin. So this is the reason for the flight. An early morning flight so that I get into town around 4 pm. Now this can be bad for me. I have a few hours to kill without anything really to do. I see a lot of booze in that time. But I do have to take it a little easy since I have an interview about 10:30am. Not really sure how long it’s going to take, but once that is over with it’s back to the airport to fly home. I should be home late on Thursday. Oh it really will be a long week. I am going to take it easy and try to do my best. I hope I get this job. This would be just what we need to get back on track. I can’t believe just how fast May is coming up. 6 months went by so damn fast I don’t know where the time went. Oh well all I can do is hope we can get this done in time.
