wyodreamer - we're not in Wyo any more

After 3 weeks of temperary layoff, I am now officially unemployed. Hopefully the phone interview I had on Wednesday pans out and I get a call saying they want to hire me. Fingers crossed.

The company I worked for laid off everyone in our group. I really feel bad for one person in our group, his wife was let go from her job about 3 months ago, and now he is unemployed also. They have 3 kids. I wish him luck in finding a job quickly.

Jobs are getting harder to come by as each day passes and with 3 small mouths to feed, that's not a good place to be

The shipyard here laid off 314 people yesterday. it's pretty tough out there!

I have often been driven out of a job, or had the door slammed in my face on the job I had, to end up with a much better job situation. There is no more loyalty on the employer end of the relationship. Most employers consider their employees to be commodities to be exploited, used until they are burned out, then tossed aside for a replacement. Sadly, in the health care field, integrity, and good ethics are considered to be a detriment to the employer, who is looking at "the bottom line".

Happy Easter/happy birthday. Glad that is past. Why is it that when you have something you need to get done, something important comes up at the same time.
Forgot my phone at Mom & Dads on Easter Sunday, so I drove up again on Monday to pick it up. Sister & her hubby & son were still there, so I stayed and visited for a while. While I was there, I got a phone call about a job interview for Tuesday. By the time I got home, I needed a short nap - why is socializing so tiring for me? Then made my birthday supper - lobster tails and tenderloin steaks. By the time I clean it all up, I was exhausted.
I still need to clean out the brooder and I have 20 chicks showing up at 10-11:30 this morning. Still need to get feed for the little broilers and the trough chick feeder is being used to feed the cats so I need a new one of those. And, it is storming out right now.
My job interview is for 2 this afternoon. Is it wrong of me to hope I don't get this job? It is going to be the same sort of work that my last job was, and I really wasn't very happy there. It wasn't the work as much as the atmosphere of the job. The owner of this company started the last company, it was bought by another company, then a few years later he left and started this new company. Everyone says it is the same company atmosphere for both. Uggh.
Why can't I get hired for the jobs I really want? I don't think I interview very well.

Edit function is not playing nice. An other thing often overlooked is: dress for the job. Perhaps kick it up just a notch above the dress code expectations of the job, BUT, never dress better than you think your manager might dress!!!

Love it when there are extras! Are they all the breed you ordered, or did they send packing peanuts?

They all look to be broilers, which is great. Layer chicks are at a great disadvantage when growing up with broilers, lol. I did that once - never again.
I ordered straight run, so I think I have a majority of pullets. There are a couple of males in there if @CrealCritter was right about his sexing technique.
