Where is my job?

First of all, I am SO tired.  Remind me to sleep when I get home.  Seriously.

Have spent the better part of 3 hours searching online postings of jobs for things I am interested in doing or I am capable of doing.  I am kind of frustrated at the amount of CRAP that is posted on these job seeker sites.  Seriously, do these sites just post whatever is handed to them?  OBVIOUSLY!  More than half of the postings on there are all scams!  It's annoying.  Everything I have had interest in applying for today with the exception of 3 jobs, I had to google the "posters" biz to see if it came up as a scam.  Yeah, go to Google and just start typing up something like The Job Cooler...it gives you results as you type...first thing I see....SCAM.  And several others came up the same.  What happened to the good old fashioned classifieds?  I mean, even the classifieds are full of crap now.  I don't want to waste my time applying for something that is just going to wind up being a joke!  Where have all the good jobs gone?  I understand the economy isn't great and all, but good grief!  You know its pretty lousy when even dumb part time retail jobs won't call you back!

AND THEN, to add insult to injury.  When you do a job specific search and you get maybe 2 results with actual REAL jobs then the rest is just crap.  Ie. : TEST VIDEO GAMES IN YOUR HOME.  GET PAID TO SHOP. MAIL OUR FLYERS.  GET PAID TO WIPE SOMEONE'S BUTT (j/k).  Really?  What does all that crap have to do with looking for job postings of things I want to do?  I mean, do people actually fall for this crap?  Granted, I have done Mystery shopping before and anyone who has knows that you don't pay to be a mystery shopper.  If you have to pay for job...I'm sorry my friend, you've been had.  Do some sincere searching online and I guarantee you will find the real companies whom with you can apply to become a field agent and do mystery shopping.  AND even then its not a high paying gig, but if you're lucky and apply for as many opportunities, you can make a nice little wad of cash maybe to go buy yourself something fun to do ;)  But all this other crap....WHATEVER.  You have to have no sense at all to think that is real.

SIGH

In other news, I have my Mary Kay Career Conference this weekend.  I'm kinda looking forward to it mostly because I need a super charge to get out and get my butt moving with this.  It will be nice to be around other people who are successful with it, maybe meet some people from my area that I can learn from, etc.  What I'm not looking forward to is trying to find something appropriate to wear.  SIGH.  I'm hoping I can this week at some point but it's not going to be easy.  Some may find it silly and maybe even antiquated, but the company image is for women to wear skirts and panty hose.  I'm most definitely NOT a skirt and panty hose kind of girl.  I'm more of a nice pants and nice blouse kind of dresser, though it is difficult to find things that fit me well (I'm not a skinny mini girl you know).  SO...I need to find a plus size skirt suit....in black...BLAH!!!!  Too bad I'm not more successful with this yet...I could have a red jacket.  At least THEN i could have some color! LOL We'll see what happens with that I guess.  I'll be hitting up the JC Penny or Belk or something.

It's been hard for me to make the MK thing work for me, because in all honesty I don't think I portray the whole MK image/personality.  I don't know.  I've been kind of down on myself about it lately because I want so bad to be successful at it, but every time I talk about it to someone they have no interest.  How is it I manage to find every person who doesn't care about it.  How do these women go out and get all these sales and do so well all the time and I can't find one stinkin person to give a crap about it.  BOO!!
(Seriously, if anyone is reading this and IS interested please let me know! ;)  ).

Well I better be on my merry way for now.  Am at my mom's using her computer/internet.  Hoping to have mine back by Weds.  That would be nice.  I got a 30 minute drive and I don't want to get caught in traffic, so buh bye for now!  Hopefully if I update in a couple days it will be from my house!
