Just when you think things will begin to look up, you get a phone call from a recruiter telling you that "8 months is a significant amount of time to be out of job and thus, a big red flag to employers." Well, I have two words for her-- HOWEVER, I do appreciate her honesty. What am I suppose to do? Explain to people that my jerk-off ex-employer laid me off when I was 38 weeks pregnant? Who the fuck is going to (without laughing) interview a chic that preggers? Oh wait. Then there is the minimum 6 weeks of maternity rest. Jesus on the wooden cross. I get more pissed as time goes on.
Lets not get it twisted. I'm so thankful for my health, my son's health and my husband's health (minus his crappy ankles). I have a great family and great friends. Beau has lots of pseudo aunties and uncles that give him zerber kisses and squeeze his fanny. With that aside, momma needs better insurance. Enter: a j-o-b. It's been officially 12 days since my interview in Wisconsin. Nothing. Not a peep of communication hath come from their end. I called the recruiting manager twice now. Nothing.
I keep daydreaming about this sports bra company. Perhaps I'll try and carve out some time each day to write a business plan. Unfortunately, I have not a dime of capital. I do however, have big hooters and love to run. What should I call the business? Hooters In Action? Sturdy Sportswear? Ahhhh Sportsbrahhhhs (get it.... like.... ahhhhh, it fits!)
The Jennie Show is a daily dose of how I view the world; no sweatpant too tight, no puppy too cute and no subject off limits. 39 years of life experience has brought me my awesome husband, an unruly but very soft-earred dog, and two delicious children. I love being a mom, cooking, ready historical biographies, running, skiing, Christmas, sauvignon blanc, lawn chairs and cheesy yacht-rock-style music (most often heard in a dentist office).
