When we were living in Florida and Big Man was working at the hospital doing 'Materials Sysytem Management' , I used to make jabs and jokes that his job was nothing but a fancy name for a glorified stockboy.
Well those words have come to bite me in the ass....All those times knocking his probably important job at the hospital have now come and haunted me and now Big Man is getting the last laugh.
It just so happens that in small town Pennsylvania the need for a gorgeous fitness center attendant is not so in demand as a person with package handeling (TWSS!) and pallet jack experience.
As I mentioned yesterday my hometown is no big shot city. Unlike Orlando there is not endless hotels and hospitality options for me to dip my fitness center finger in. If you knew 40% of the town's population, I doubt if the word fitness is even in there vocabulary let alone there lifestyle. So that makes my almost 5 years of fitness center attending null and void and not needed up here and leaves alot of my job prospects slim to none.
Big Man on the other hand is in all his freakin' glory. It just so happens that all the factories and distribution centers (the only jobs that pay good up here) like 'glorified stockboys' and the experience they possess from their silly jobs. Big Man is getting all the call backs and interviews for jobs up here. Remember how I told you a couple a weeks ago that he got a job...well 5 days ago he got a call back from another one, 2 days ago he went for the interview, yesterday he got a job offer and today he went to accept it and fill out the paperwork. Not to mention this job pays 4 more dollars then his current gig and his way closer to home.
Me...I'm at sitting at home filling out applications online, revising my resume, going to temp agencies and trying to find a job like it is my job. I'm thankful that atleast one of us is getting job offers, but what about me dammit!!
I'm cute, I'm bubbly, I'm a hardworker, I'm motivated....damn those hearts I dot over my I's!!!
