Life stinks

So...I put in for that job...only to find out my unit supervisor sent me the wrong job info so i actually put in for a job in Quality Assurance which i have done before but it is a very boring job and i didn't get it anyway. I guess i am nust not meant to work at IRS full time. It doesn't matter what job i put in for i won't get it because i haven't kissed the right butt or i just am not good enough for these people. We have to fill out this form called an MPQ which details your job experience and what you do and all your job awards and education....but the difference in this and a regular resume is....you have to use the right verb or the right sentence or some such crap that makes you look special. Its really discouraging that every time i put in for a job that someone with less time at the IRS gets it before i do. It really sucks that 29 years of experience at this place means absolutely NOTHING towards geting a full time job. It really irks me. It really ticked me off that my unit manager didn't give me the right info and that i didn't even get the chance to be denied the job i REALLY wanted. They just don't have openings that often in this department so when they tell you to try again next time....i could be 90 before they open full time jobs in there again. And it is really discouraging for everyone to say how come you aren't full time...apply for a full time job. Well when you DO apply for full time jobs and you get denied and someone off the street who has never worked there ever before gets it ahead of you makes it even worse. I hate to say this but even part of my family came in off the street and has a full time job. Mike is full time in a different department. He has only been there a few years but he came in off the street...hadn't gone to college...got a full time job....My neighbors brother applied for a full time job and got it just this year...he came in off the street...Life stinks.

Well you all wanted an update...didn't know i was gonna be bitter...LOL.

On a better note....YEAHHHHHHHHHH we are going out together again....FUN FUN FUN.
AND Ruthie and Mitzi are gonna join us this year. More girls for Girls Night Out. Hope we get the living room again this year...that was pretty cool. See you girls tomorrow night. I am scrapbooking friday night...working overtime saturday morning...going to Mels after i get off and maybe help her move some stuff and then we are going out. I may need a nap. I will have to go back to work to get some rest after this weekend...HAHA.

Hey Ruthie...I can sit and watch with you...I am not a good bowler so it won't bother me.

Keep a smile on your face. Sorry you didn't get the job you wanted. You do have to learn to toot your own horn. Maybe someone could help you with a resume?

Sounds like you girls had a good time last night. Maybe next year Mom & I can come. This bronchitis cough is wearing me out! See you next Sunday. We are going to Sunrise Service at LaCygne Church and their breakfast. You may have something going on at your church, but you are welcome to ours too. I guess we can say we will have a mid-day meal?
