Here I go again on my own...

I have been sick lately. This Chicago Flu sucks. (I blame the city of Chicago for enticing me out on New Years Eve with a sheer top on and no jacket for the cause of my grief.) My morning phlegm ritual has been nothing but pleasant as has the daily spit-ups of blood. Those, fortunately, are starting to subside. So all in all I have been feeling like pure ca-ca and not had one extra ounce of energy to put into keeping things "fresh" with my blog. (Or my hygiene for that matter. Oh fuck you...when you're sick you'd rather lay in your bed than try to stand in a shower that cant seem to keep you warm enough.)

I need a new job. I have been looking for jobs but no one seems to want to even talk to me, let alone hire me. Im sure that means that I should change my resume but I do not know what is wrong with it so I am not quite sure how to change it. Actually, that was me trying to bullshit myself...I know exactly what it was wrong with it, but the laziness factor rules my life. I wish someone somewhere would just give me a chance based on my crappy resume. I have some awesome experience, although, it is only about 1.5 years worth of "big girl" work. People keep telling me I should try to tough it out for another year or so, but Ill be damned if I have to sit at this desk for another whole year. Id rather work retail (no offense to those of you that do that) than stay here.

I want to leave the wonderful and exciting world of HR and go back into event planning. Those two worlds though dont have a lot in common to the naked eye and therefore managers reviewing my resume may not see that I have in fact, been polishing up on my even planning skills while being here.

Plus Im super talented, creative, and cute...meaning I kick ass in the event planning world. I have planned bridal showers, baby showers, weddings, bar-freakin-mitzvahs...for total strangers who have paid me! I should probably include more of that on my resume, yet at the same time, my HR credentials are awesome too. (I started an HR dept with 5 temps and in 1 year have 80 employees. So basically, if you will, I have started this whole thing from scratch.)

Just because I rock doesnt mean Im made of stone. <---its the meds I swear.

**Sidenote: The previous paragraph was only intended to make myself feel better about my lack of experience, motivation, and heart at this point. Although all is true.**

There is a quick fix to all of this...
Ill just get my ass on a reality tv show and then the world will be at my fingertips and everyone will want me to work for them. Watch out Biggest Loser...here I come!!!!!!

The key to your future success is in not quoting Whitesnake.

WHITESNAKE = FAILURE

strangely enough, my roommate is an event-planner in nyc who has an opening where she works, and i will be getting my reality show on tv sometime this year or next. really, do you just get down on your knees and thank god that you know me?

Whitesnake = AWESOME
Yes, I am a 24 year old girl, who gets wasted and thinks this song is amazing...I am "one of those girls".

lozo...does your roommate want to give me a job? No seriously...does she?

frank said...

beats me. but A) it's in new york, which is far away from you, B) it's not "cool" event planning at all. it's stuff for like pfizer and not fun companies, and C) technically i wouldn't be involved in the interview process, so i can't demand head in return for the job.

but if you're being serious, let me know. she tells me all the time anyone can do her job. you've got my email if you really want to relocate for this job.

frank said...

so i'm guessing you really don't want to move for a job. she was just telling me they are starting the interview process.

NY is pretty far from Chicago. I have been thinking about though (I really have)...that would be so uncharacteristic of me to pick up and move like that, Im not sure I could do it. Is there anyway you could email me some info regarding it?
