You don't have the stick figure family bumper stickers. You can't judge where you are by looking at the mountains.

The Most Dreadfull Thing Known To Me

Job Hunting

So, once again, I'm on the job Hunt. Job Hunting has to be top 3 of the most dreaded things I must go through in life! In my personal Hell I would have to watch Bring It On over and over and over, go Shopping for days, and JOB HUNT! lol. I've put together the top 7 reasons job hunting is soooo terrible. Hope you enjoy!! :)

1. Looking-Sitting in front of a computer for hours on end looking at different job web sites might be your idea of fun but it surely isn't mine! lol. The stupid search fields on the Internet don't even work! If I was to put in SLC, UT as the location & Clerical/Administration as the search criteria, do ya wanna know what I'm going to get??? Park City, Ogden, maybe even St. George as the area & secret shopper criteria! lol-How the hell does that match what I entered! Or even worse is looking in the Sunday News Paper! Circling jobs, writing fax numbers or e-mail address down, and getting black ink all over your fingers! LAME-O!

2. Sending Resumes-After sending so many stinkin' e-mails I'm the idiot that sometimes forgets to attach my stinkin' resume! And then I don't necessarily want to send a potential Employer a 2ND e-mail that says "Hey, I'm an assbag and I forgot to attach my resume! I swear I'm normally really detail oriented!" lol. I hate faxing resumes as well though. Most companies want a cover page...well what if I'm applying for 40 jobs...I guess I'll just kill 40 trees! Seriously, faxing isn't too bad unless your using a fax machine that was made in 1995 and takes a freakin' hour to send 1 fax! <---Yes, I know from experience! Now the absolute worst type of sending is snail mail. I mean you really want me to SNAIL MAIL in a resume? I might as well just skip those considering they might not get it for a week! lol

3. Setting Up Interviews-Not really much to say about this other than it's a HUGE pain in my butt!

4. Getting Ready For An Interview-Ugh, I hate getting ready for interviews! I'm never really sure what to wear. Now, let me paint a picture for you of my most recent appearance:

Back in January I chopped my curly hair off super super short and straightened it every day. Well, now it's grown out to a little longer than shoulder length and it pretty much looks like crap straight or curly! lol-Curly, I look like I'm eh, maybe 15 & straight, I look like I just straightened an extremely curly hair do! My good friend/hairdresser Lindsay put screaming BLOND panels in my hair about 2 months ago and I didn't keep up with them so now I have fried curly brown hair with grown out blond in it! And for the last detail of my god awful ugly appearance...I have a lip ring STUCK in my lip! lol...maybe know u can understand why I hate getting ready for interviews!

5. Interviewing-Now there are two types of interviews companies like to do now-a-days: Phone Interviews & Regular 'ol Interviews. Phone interviews are interesting. Sometimes the Interviewer will just get to know ya and see if they like your personality enough to invite ya to a real interview. And sometimes they ask you a bazillion crazy questions that your really not sure how to answer...FUN TIMES! Regular interviews are ones that I prefer but don't necessarily enjoy. I was once asked in an interview to sell them my least favorite veggie?! lol. I tend to clam up, get really sweaty palms (not the most attractive thing when you shake the employers hand!!), and give the stupidest answers to their questions!

6. 2ND Interviews-You might say "Wait a minute Cait, 2ND interviews are great! That means they are interested in you!" But I would beg to differ! A 2ND interview is just that...a 2ND interview. It doesn't guarantee you a spot with the company nor does it mean that they YOU are the person they will hire! 2ND interviews all in all are just kinda deflating!

7. The Waiting Game-This is by far the worst part of Job Hunting! Ya might think you did great in an interview. You might really, really want the job! But the words "Well, we have a few more interviews that we need to do but we'll call you by the end of the week" make me cringe! The worst is when companies say they'll let ya know by the end of the week and then NEVER contact you back.

All-In-All, job hunting is just deflating, depressing, and kinda ruins your self-esteem! So if any of you bloggers out there just want to hand me a job on a silver platter...please feel free to contact me! ;)

Thoughts on Sad Days

I've been kinda down the past few weeks and writing is a release for me. These are just random thoughts & comments I have on nothing particular but very particular-all at the same time! My style of writing is kinda all over the place in this blog; Read further if you'd like. :)

I have always seemed to live in a bubble. In my bubble people are kind, loving, and honest people. There is no war. People are not killing each other just to kill. There are no financial problems. And friends are friends forever; they don't stab each other in the back. Unfortunately for me, I lived in this bubble for close to 21 years! Sounds silly that I would be so naive but it's true. That being said the past 2 or 3 years I've been figuring out how people, friends, and life really are! So, here is my outlook on a few things:

LOVE
When I was a little girl I thought that once I hit a certain age I would find a perfect man, fall in love, and get married. And then I hit my teen years...and like the switch of a light, I just stopped believing in love. I look back now on my failed marriage and I don't know if I loved him or if I loved the thought of being in love. I would give anything to be find someone to love me the way my parents love each other. I think that the word love is all too commonly used but not meant. I can honestly say that I only tell people I love them if I REALLY do! It has always been really easy for me to tell my friends and family that I love them but boyfriends...waaay hard. I have built such a wall around my heart that it's hard for me to even CARE about someone let alone LOVE someone. I'm not sure I'm capable of loving a man the way I do in my day dreams. I think that love has almost become a trend. Something that is "cool" for a while and then tossed to the curb like a piece of garbage.

Marriage

Wow, what a crock of (I guess I'll keep it PG) crap! Marriage has become nothing more than a piece of paper. People compare marriage to funerals...I've been guilty of doing so. But why is it that over the generations marriage has become such taboo? I have walked down the aisle once. We were young, we fought, and instead of working through our problems we simply got divorced. I don't believe my ex and I were soul mates and we probably jumped the gun on the whole marriage thing BUT it's sad that divorce was no big thing and was so easily done. And why is it that us women and sometimes men feel the need to get married soo young or soo soon! Is 3 months of knowing someone really long enough?!? I know a man who lived with his ex for over 2 years, got married, and lasted less than 6 months!? Why is that? Do people really change that much when we get married? Do people get married just to say they are married? Is getting married really that important? Are people really capable of loving just 1 person, and spending the rest of their lives with that 1 person? I probably won't ever really know the answers to my questions but these are some things to think about before you tie the knot. I personally don't ever want to re-marry but hopefully there is hope for the romantics out there!

Trust, Lies, & Cheating

At a very young age I learned that trust is not something that is given but earned. As a young teen, I had friend after friend stab me in the back. I was by no means perfect but once stabbed in the back I could never bring myself to do so to anyone! I've never trusted people in general but it's sad when you can't even trust your friends. I have a total of maybe 3 friends that I can guinuenly trust...that's just sad! lol. The reason my circle of trusted friends is so small leads me to lies. Why is it that lying is SOOOO much easier than telling the truth. I personally would rather hear the truth and cry or be upset than be lied to! I have told this to friends & boyfriends time and time again but still I am constantly lied to. Maybe it's because I am naive? And if it's so easy to lie to someone that cares, loves, or trusts you it must be really easy to cheat. I think cheating is the most disgusting/terrible thing you could ever do to someone. Is it really so hard to tell your spouse or significant other that you are interested in someone else and no longer pursue a relationship??? I once read an article about why it is so hard for men/women to stay faithful now-a-days. Here is the Cliffs Notes Version: Men/Women do not save them selves for marriage anymore. Therefore, they have "test drove other cars" and know the difference between each "car". So when they are unsatisfied with one "car" why not go back to another one or why not test drive another one just to see if it's better. How sad but true is that! As much as I've prided myself on not cheating, I have been cheated on right beneath my nose.


These few topics are a few I'm most sad about these days. I guess I have too much time on my hands in order to constantly think about these subjects! lol. But that's just the way I feel. If you got this far, I hope you enjoyed my random thoughts and feel free to post back your feelings. I'm still learning about this whole blogging thing so bare with me as I learn!

Good Night!

Why...Because I Can

Hey everyone in the blogging world, family, & friends! I've decided to start blogging, well, because I can! :) I have a lot going on in my life right now and writing or typing tends to help me release my stress! I'm not really here for anyone but me. This blog is for me...to vent, share pictures, and umm..VENT. Hope you enjoy the randomness of my personality and the scatterbrained-ness (<--is that even a word??) of my blogs.
