If You Can't Say Anything Nice, Don't Say Anything at All

People have been getting on my nerves on Facebook lately.  Some people say exactly what they think with no regard to how it may come off to the other person.  I was told the picture of my new haircut looked really bad.  Then asked if I don't like having my picture taken, then why do I keep taking picture of myself and posting them.  Well, I do have to have a profile pic!  Duh people!  Then I have people who correct my grammar and spelling!  That really irritates me so much!  I guess they don't realize that they make me feel like shit by doing this.  And finally, I had people asking me why I wasn't at church!  I am not a regular church goer at all, so I don't understand why they missed me so much today at church!  I went on my FB and deleted all the comments that irritated me.  Maybe these people will get the picture! 

 I don't need lectured on attending church!  It is my choice to go or not to go.  I am not a person who believes in institutional religion.  I believe that if you are a believer in God, it doesn't matter if you go to a church or not.  I wasn't baptized until I was 22 because my mother "forgot "!  I do enjoy certain aspects of church like communion.  I have yet to find a pastor that I feel is inspirational regarding God.  I think I need to go to one of those very commercialized churches in a huge auditorium with lots of people saying "Amen" and "hallelujah"!  There is a church like that in Jefferson that I really want to go to!  There is also a couple of churches in Carroll that we haven't checked out yet that I'd like to.

Anyway,  my message is think before you post a comment.  Think how it is going to make the other person feel.  Don't be a bitch if the bottom line!

Job Update

The second week I was at my new office in Carroll I sold a full page ad! I sent emails out regarding our agriculture special section, and someone replied by phone and told me they wanted to do a half page because they were having a grand opening. Well, this half page turned into a full page. I was thrilled! Not only did I get a full page ad, I gained a new client who hadn't advertised with us in quite a while. I also got a poster sponsor who never advertised with us ever before, which is a major company. This was a really good week for sales for me! I'm hoping my paycheck reflects that this week!

I quit one of my part-time jobs on Thursday. I'm not longer an employee of GNC (General Nutrition Center). I feel relieved! I don't know how I did it working a full-time job and two part-time jobs. I did it for a month though! I was getting major burn out! I actually asked my boss at GNC if I could just be on call. That way I could still be an employee, but not work very much. My boss left me a message on my cellphone and said that there was no one on call. Previously he told me that there was a guy who was going to be on call, and now all of the sudden there wasn't anyone on call. He sure changed the story fast. Then on the voice mail he told me that I could put in my two week notice and I could give him two or three weeks! Nobody gives a three-week notice, unless it is required. Well, I had to work on Thursday night and I really didn't feel well all day, I was very achy all over. I texted my boss there and told him I was sick and asked if he could find someone to cover me. He just simply replied "ok". This was very strange. On Thursday to Friday I take my Hy-Vee schedule to GNC so that he can schedule me for the next week. I never took my schedule in. I thought he would call me freaking out. He never called. I guess he really didn't need me, huh? I was only working like 6 hours a week making minimum wage. I was just holding on for the employee 30% discount. I'm very glad I'm out of there.

New Job Update

Well today marks week # 4 of my new full-time job.  I started off working for the Smart Shopper in Denison, Iowa.  This is an advertising newspaper and I sell ads. The first week I sold 2 ads, which is great because my mentor told me that she didn't sell any the first week.  I've sold some ads every week.  Not a lot, may one or two.  The third day I was there my boss was fired.  That was interesting!  But,  it was a good thing for all.  Last week we moved to a new office.  Every day we would go out to eat for lunch.  It's been really fun.

This week I went to work on Monday in Dension.  I was talking to the telemarketer over there, and we decided we should switch positions.  Well, then my supervisor told me that I could just move to the Carroll office to be the telemarketer.  This worked because then I didn't have a half an hour drive.  Today I started in the new office.  I sold two ads today - one via phone and one via email. 

My new office is in an old hotel that was called The Villa.  It was remodeled into an office.  My office is only second floor.  It is very quiet there, but I did get a lot accomplished.  No interruptions!  I think I'm gonna like it, and hopefully I will sell some ads and make some major dough!

Oh, by the way...I get to write!  Yea!
