Corporate America
It’s been a busy week, I’ve been working on a lot of scholarship essays. I’ve had a client or two come in to pick up business. I’m waiting, almost too patiently, for a few clients to pay up. It’s to the point now of being beyond absurd. One client used to contact me 3 times a day for the last 4 months of working on their project. The minute I send the bill he’s magically MIA. I believe this is the same thing going on with another girl but I’m not too sure on that yet it’s only been a week since I’ve last heard from her. Either way it’s a headache, I have bills to pay too, ya know?
My sister recently applied for a job at a local pharmacy, they called her back and now she just has to take a drug test and then she’s got the job. The problem I have with this company – already – is the fact that when she applied two months ago and listed herself as a Caucasian, she wasn’t called back. She listed herself as a Hispanic and they called her back. I personally see it as a lawsuit, she just sees it as an excuse for benefits. The problem is the fact that I based on what I already know about this store, they won’t honor her benefits anyway. A friend of mine has been there for six months. The first three months he was doing a solid 40 hour week and then magically, the week before he was going to apply for benefits, they dropped his hours and didn’t honor the past 3 months worth of work. But I guess that’s corporate America for you.
She told me to apply for their photo department because they need a day shift, and thanks to my CVS employment I’m certified in Osha so that should be an easy job for me. I just refuse to take it. I shouldn’t have to list myself as anything other than Caucasian just to get a dead end job.
In other news….the PayPerPost team recently stormed “The Today Show” with an absolutely fantastic display of Guerilla Marketing. Unfortunately I didn’t see the show but watching the footage of the show was enough for me to absolutely love these guys even more. I swear other than Newegg this is the only company that I’ll fully support until the day I/it dies! They’re the kind of company that knows exactly what needs to be done in order to get their names out there. If a trip to NY is what it takes to gain exposure, then they’re doing exactly the right thing. In agreement with a comment posted on the entry…yes all the PPP girls are hot, I don’t swing that way but get me drunk enough and I just might. And a note to the boyfriend…you can stop drooling now, if it ever did happen you couldn’t be in the room :nudge:
I really hope I’m not one of those annoying people.. ahhaha Paypal is slow, but I think two of three of my payments have cleared for you! That’s pretty ridiculous about the pharmacy, I can’t imagine what’s going through their heads! Then again, I’ve got no idea how the system works over there; with benefits and that… But sounds like discrimination to me! You ain’t a bad person if you take the job from bad people… You’re taking their money – so it’s half like revenge! (Or maybe that’s just my immature way of thinking…).
It’s funny how people go MIA when it comes time to pay up!
I emailed you by the way, I neede to get some info from you. I’m not sure if you received it, or just didn’t have time to reply yet. So I hope i’m not one of those girls you’re talking about.. but if I am, just email me okay?
Wow Today show is on at 7AM, I wish I was going to bed at that time still.
A Police force here have just had to make payments to candidates whom they rejected because they were caucasian. They were having a drive on recruiting people from ethnic minorities but it’s illegal to discriminate against anyone on grounds of race and they were rightly censured.
The irony of it is that the people who pursued this action were “The campaign for racial equality”, whom most people perceive as being all for this sort of action so it was extremely humourous watching newspapers reporting them in a good light after years of slating them.
Good luck with your scholarship essays. Do you need to borrow the SporkODeath for the clients? I’ll gladly loan it out to you. BTW, You can change my link on your sidebar when you get a chance 🙂
YAY! I got an easy math question this time! 0+1= ?
