This is not what was in the brochure...

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.

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.

i do not think those type of placement places are still in business that asked for employee to pay a fee or they are a scam.

and no these are NOT specialized skilled positions .........
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.

So this weekend i was looking on you tube for some song i had not heard in a long time...... some song stuck in my head.......

I stumbled across what seems to be a big trend .......... various young people who had never heard older music or people who just started to listen to songs outside of their regular genre .............Making videos of their reactions to older or different music ....
Most were very open and it was very entertaining to see people find appreciation in songs/ artist they would have never heard or listened to .........

started as i will watch a few........ and turned into about 5 hours ....
 
I was talking with a friend .... basic internet chat .......this is what i dislike about the internet

then Poof this person i cannot seem to contact anymore......
I do not know why .........are they OK?
when you only have a name general info it is not like finding them again is possible.....I wish i had shared other contact info ......

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 :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

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.

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. :unsure: 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.

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.
 
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.

this i why I DOUBT we will ever be civil and trusting of others EVER again.
I KNOW that some people whom exposed themselves as ZEALOTS i simply have no time for them again.
I will also consider not buying from businesses that took a hard stance

How will people go back to being civil ?
Minding their own business and not feeling entitled to think they can run other peoples lives.
It has become a world where people will not just turn the other cheek after being treated poorly for not believing the mantra.
 
The more things change the more they stay the same.....
I think we all remember when things were different lets take drug coverage the cost skyrocketed in large part to meeting pricing lists for insurance.
NOW the rage is the apps ... good-rx or singlecare you can search for better price a CASH price not through your insurance. So keep paying your premium( just in case) but paying cash for your drugs will be your best deal

I remember when gas prices cash was always lower then credit/ debit ...... not a new concept. New insurance at spouse work they compare shop for xrays etc for the cheapest cash price.... lol

What i find amusing is those buying into this advertisement without simply seeing ..YES taking out all the middlemen makes a financial difference in the price.

I 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.

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 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.

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.

And joy to the world: the kitchen sink has just developed a leak. So now I've gotta take everything out from under there and he'll try to fix it when he comes back from shopping for the extra food we have to get because he decided last night to invite that co-worker.

So tired of housework and the "joys" of home ownership...so tired.
 
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 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.

I feel for you though because I am living alone and have one son who could care less about holidays, so don't have to deal with it.

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 ....
Click to expand...
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.

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?:unsure:

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.
If a person wants to wear a mask even when others quit so be it but i think the dentist office should recognize some like yourself may not be comfortable and try to wear masks around those patients etc.
Below is a link i find a statement on this ...... First we were told masks would not make a difference and we needed to SAVE the N95 and surgical masks for medical staff...
In came everyone and their brother making CLOTH masks this was more comfortable perhaps not as difficult to breathe through etc.
Last week or so a DOCTOR on a TV interview said that cloth masks are simply face decorations and not really doing anything........ some tried to "cancel" him or debate his assessment now a week later the following article saying the SAME thing he got called out for.

Now they can blame on new variant or what ever they chose. IMO this is simply deflecting that cloth masks or other items the experts have let pass may NEVER have been a good idea and more of a placebo then science.
A better guess i suppose is many companies turned to making masks and those who bought or made their own cloth are not consuming the disposable ones to pay off those who jumped into business making them.

In my area they passed an emergency use plan and some alcohol producers made hand sanitizer..... now they MUST get rid of all supply before emergency order is up even if they end up throwing truckloads in a landfill.....
this was all people trying to gain a buck from this whole fiasco.
