stay tuned- I am hoping for some good news soon

I know I have been hinting around for a while about news I am waiting for on the Job front, My close girlfriends know what is up, but I don't want to jinx it so I will just tell you to keep an eye out here and I will post the news as soon as it comes through.

The job with Measured Progress is coming to an end. We work tomorrow and then we are done for the rest of the summer. - my hope is for the other job to pan out soon too. Math has been fun to score and a different challenge than the writing and reading I have done in the past. It is more concrete and the rubrics are easier to qualify for I think. I don't have much in the way of " formal college level math" basic, and later statistics ( though there is lots of algebra used) , but my practical work experiences have helped me retain my math skills too. So it is interesting, to see how I do.

I am wiped out though as far as the computer goes, cause all the scoring is done on the computer and my eyes and brain are fried tonight so not much more to say here. except stay tuned.

What happened today?

Colorology , colorstrology and Measured Progress are causing a hit parade on my Blog!

over the last two and a half years my bloging about this topic ( colorology and Colorstrology- see tags for other entries on my blog and links from past posts) has caused hits, but now today I had about 25 hits? what is up with that, most are search engine driven, and I am not sure why there is such and interest in this topic?@! no one leaves me any clue as to why they are so interested in this topic. They certainly do't leave a comment while here.

the other Topic is Measured Progress and that is on a " hit list" search engine from some one in Dover, Mass. ( this is where the parent company is) I hope I post up good PR for them, as this is a job I have enjoyed doing. The hiring is done locally here by Kelly Service Temps. It seems this has been a good sideline for me to pass the time at while still looking for more permanent work. I have been scoring Math for the last couple of days now. I had only done reading before, so the challenge is new and interesting. Seems I haven't totally forgotten geometry and percentages off LOL : ) For the most part I like the people I am with there, it is an interesting mix of newly graduated students,old hippies, trust fund babies, retired and working teachers and principles and administrators with a smattering of nerdy guys thrown in the mix, quite a diverse intelectual community. Most are required to have a college degree so it makes the talk around the tables at lunch at least stimulating.

well thanks for all the visits anyone looking for information on these two hit list topics

this and that

well I am still waiting on "the Job" will post up when it is the real deal. in the mean time, work has included helping a friend and today back to measured progress in Longmont ( kelly temp) I like this job reading tests and sometimes think it would be fun to just do this on a part time basis, but i really miss my cleaning ladies, i haven't had since november.

J and I are working on/in group thearapy we are building a bit of trust, but it is hard work. I bought parenting teens with love and logic, by Foster Cline and Charles Fay. I am about 1/2 way through it great book, hard to make these changes so late in his life. But I keep tring to be positive and hopeful. We have aranged for him to go to a non-traditional school, starting in july the program is self paced and he culd move along and get done if he really wants to apply himself to working at his own sucess, the principle seemed really like a great guy and I have high hopes for a turn around in J's future.

Hh is still enjoying her Karate and going with S to work occasionally, She is off to camp Gramdma later in the summer and I think is looking forward to her time with grandpa as he always entertains her and takes her to lunches out, as well as Grandma doing a little shopping.

SSD1 is working at a CiCi's pizza nearby and seems to enjoy his time learning the pizza trade. It is hard to belive he has one more year and he will be a HS grad.

we have SSD2 everyfew weeks this summer for a week at a time, we had him all last week and had lots of success and comunication, when he is with us he does lots of good stuff.

well I am off to bed since i have to get up and drive myself to longmont in the am. Chiao

the odd job

I have been doing this and that and an occassional consult. Here is a Web site for a friend I have been working on, she owns a scrub stop and more. I have been helping her with a contract for a large hospital she got too, so this has been a good diversion.

I scored some tests for Measured Progress in Longmont too. I am scheduled to do some more of this, but I think I have a JOB !!!! I will tell you more as it firms up for sure. I am happy about it and will tell you the details later.

it is neither of the two afore mentioned temp jobs. Just keep all the good vibes and prayers coming my way. I am ready for a new place to be.

I am blogging from work today

from my last day at boston market catering line - well it is sunday ad so solow I can't believe it is the same place that I have worked since dec, this is the queitest day I have personnally encountered. I tryed to like this job at the corporate office but you know I am just not cut out to meet a set rate for phone calls on the ordering line - I can safely say I have worked in a call center and did o.k. but it really isn't for me.

My intention was to take some time and get my resume together, but I took on another temporary job for Kelly doing some test scoring. I did this at the begining (the test scoring) and enjoyed it-i really haven't enjoed the phone call center work. I thought I could handle it but I discovered I really couldn't - I gave it the old college try anyway. the test scoreing is on some level more an intelectual persuit and all the folks there are college grads, makes for an interesting mix of backgrounds, lots of off work or retired educators or students needing flexable temp jobs. the compnay is called measured progress.

So I had an "exam" in the HR field on the 8th of feb with the U of Colorado in Boulder, I did o.k. and passed the exam!!! I ranked number 4 and the top 3 got the interviews. but i remain on the list in case someone else declines the interview or job offer. YEAH I am really quite proud of myself with this as the job is a " general Proffessional " position with the state university .

these are the things that are on my mind this morning.
