Never paid a fee ever .....they collect on a contract basis from companies, sometimes it is x amount per hour and sometimes it is a one time cost to businesses if you go direct hire.Jeni, do you have very specialized skills that others may not have?
Many people don’t think of using Placement Agencies because of the fees or % they take. I don’t know if this is still true.
WOW!the most specialized item that astounds me is MANY cannot pass a background check.... choices matter and for some things they did in past hold them back for a long long time.
Either that or someone hacked your account. I find it odd that a company would be concerned about whether or not someone is vaccinated if they will never be going to the office. I vaguely remember a friend of mine mentioning the same thing about wanting vaccination history from way back but I think it was her doctor's office when she had to "reinstate" herself as their patient.so today i heard a good one..... a friend of mine had a job interview for a REMOTE position never going to the place ever...... they even asked her to use her own computer.
so the kicker is they want to make sure she is vaccinated ..... for some they think no big deal ...........for others that seems off
BUT they said ALL vaccines want your entire life record including childhood vaccinations....... MMR Polio tetanus seriously
STAND up and be HONEST it is about the Covid vaccine but ............asking for this ridiculous amount of info you can play
"OH no that is just ONE of them"
Where did HONESTY go?????????????????
i got a text informing me they are removing a photo i shared on facebook because they found it may have a copyright issue .......... THE truth i have not posted on there in 2 years and they want me to sign in again to see what one etc so they can say see she is still an active user because they have lost so many due to their issues.
i agree but it is true she had them email her what all they wanted. it is a multi state healthcare company. i understand if a person was in person at an office or in patient care but a REMOTE data entry position that is over the top.Either that or someone hacked your account.

So true.I've found Senior Citizen services to be one area where most people have a "glossy brochure" idea of what's out there and then find there are very few services available to seniors who are still living independently.
this i why I DOUBT we will ever be civil and trusting of others EVER again.i have a COLD ...... that is it
there is something going around in my area....
Should be enough to let others i used to walk with daily i am not feeling well going to take it easy for awhile ... BUT everyone seems to feel they have the right to know....
IS it covid????
are you sure???
what did you discuss with your doctor ??? what medications have i taken? etc
Simply put if IT is NONE of your business ..... this is what over reach does when they think they have the right to dictate what you do etc
Thanks but no thanks if they are this worked up i think our year of walking with each other is OVER.
Boy do I hear this. My Huzz's family (espec. his mom) always made a big deal out of Christmas, not from a show-offy, look how much we spent kind of way, but still as over the top, especially with the food--not so much expensive food but a LOT of food--and presents and decorating the house as much as possible, I mean like wear yourself out cooking and decorating (especially the women, of course). Used to drive me nuts when he and I were first married--"whaddaya mean we've gotta get up at 4:00 a.m. to drive up there and then drive back home at 10:00 p.m. because even though we've both gotta work it'll break your family's heart if we're not there?"--and it was a shock since they did enjoy Christmas so much, kind of an almost childlike, innocent love for it and in my family it seemed to always be an occasion for yet another screaming match. But overI want to take the holidays off.....
When christmas becomes more of an obligation then a celebration i think people should just OPT out.
Like halloween if you did not want trick or treaters or such leave your porch light off just opt out.
christmas with grown kids :
#1
I was told by a company hurry and order to get shipped for christmas ...........it got there on the 8th not maybe it wont make it like they were pushing in their ad. So son felt odd that items showed so early like he is obligated to reciprocate .......
#2 we need to travel across state to see daughter and family .... it is exhausting not as fun as limited things to do and is haul stuff there and other stuff back more like a chore.
#3 told me we will get together in a few weeks as they are busy with their new dog.
Now the items i will be hauling home same candies or bath soap i no longer use or want to eat but it is tradition....... i want to be pleasant i want to smile and say thanks for candy i simply do NOT enjoy .....but i am at a point in my life i would rather just say NO thanks count me OUT.
Hmm. Might there be stores (like a Whole Foods Market) in your area from which you could order an entire pre-cooked turkey dinner. Maybe?
We've ordered same before from Whole Foods — it was very tasty.
Well, you can't pick up the pre-cooked dinners on Christmas day so you're having to pick it up who-knows how many days before and find room in your refrigerator for all that and then re-heat it all up on the day you're having the dinner. And even though we're having the dinner on Dec. 24 and I *think* we could pick it up tomorrow, it would still all have to be re-heated and that's one of the hardest things of all about cooking to me: the getting everything all on the table still hot at the same time. So it seems to be just as easy to buy the stuff and then cook it myself.Hmm.

I know exactly what you are saying! That is how my Christmas was with my husband and his super large family. I hated every minute of it. Who did all the work? The women. And they taught their kids the same thing because it was only the female teens in the kitchen helping.Boy do I hear this. My Huzz's family (espec. his mom) always made a big deal out of Christmas, not from a show-offy, look how much we spent kind of way, but still as over the top, especially with the food--not so much expensive food but a LOT of food--and presents and decorating the house as much as possible, I mean like wear yourself out cooking and decorating (especially the women, of course).

But over
the years I got kind of used to it. And I was hoping that as the years went by, espec. after his mom died, that Huzz would kind of get over the "we've gotta do it like this, we've always done it like this!" part of it. But no; and for various reasons (work schedules, road closures, etc.), the only people coming here for Christmas this year are going to be my nephew and his wife and one of Huzz's former co-workers. And he is so depressed; "I just wish I could have at least one of my family here, I probably don't have that many Christmases left", etc.
So in addition to trying to gear myself up to make this big holiday dinner--I absolutely hate to cook--I'm dealing with his sadness. So, you know what my favorite day of the year is? January 2 when all this madness is over with for another year.
Doesn't matter how much experience I have had, good and bad, I still automatically believe the good until it is proven otherwise. I have been bitten so much it has stopped hurting. I choose to keep my rose color glasses on because, as Timothy Leary said just before he died, Why not? Love never dies.me too....
I have spent my life seeing things for a different point of view and often wonder what it is like only see the good in people or not noticing when things just don't add up in a conversation etc.
sometimes people need a first hand experience to see through BS in this world ....
This in not a problem in my community. My town is small and most people walk around without a mask, (people used to wear them a lot) even the elderly. Weird but I wear mine sometimes. At my dentist office no one wears as mask. I had to go for about a month and a half so. . . I work very hard to keep my immune system high, however, sometimes a mask is called for. Do you agree?Does this make sense ....
In my state they have enacted bans on single use plastic bags at store or restaurants at city levels for 2 years.
I always found that description off since i often reused the bags for bathroom garbage and other things.....
Along came covid all bag bans out the window .... store that had gotten rid of plastic brought them BACK for covid.
store employees said they could not touch a customers reusable bags cause Covid........
i had them throw everything back in cart and i bagged my items in parking lot into my reusable bags.
Plastic was NOW our friend and most people got two items in every bag so a ton to take home.
Now after postponing for a LONG time a state wide ban happened IF you want a bag you must pay a fee......
Overnight store employees COULD touch your reusable bags....... This over zealous plastic fight want you to ask for a drink lid or any item like plastic utensils.
So in chatting with a store employee I found out the FEE so important to fight plastic is NOT charged to anyone on food stamps. There is actually a workaround. They can have as many bags (a thicker and not as useful bag ) as they want.
Seems odd that plastic is a huge problem..... but not if you are deemed exempt? I doubt most people KNOW this workaround or exception.
I agree plastic needs a better % and actual recycling ....as many items are NOT being recycled by companies who claim to recycle.
I worked for a national retailer who collected bags saying they recycled them but in fact threw them away ...............cause they would have had to sore up a pallet worth or more to get them collected by a recycle firm and they had to pay to ship to somewhere else.
I think in situations like this is as a result of mixed messages we got early on .... people said this summer IF vaccinated you can go mask less so just about everyone did cause who was checking NO ONE .... Another version of the HONOR system that in this day and age simply does not work.This in not a problem in my community.
