Worst Interview Everrrrrrrrr!

-
After being sucker punched last week I realized that the pieces of the puzzle didn't add up. Once I got over being sad that I was offered a job that was later retracted I began to think about why something like this would happen. I sent a follow up email with a few questions regarding the situation. They immediately contacted me to meet with the head of the department. I guess you could say I'm a glutton for punishment. Why would I go back to a company that made such a bad first impression? Honestly, I didn't want to, but this was my thought, I can go and possibly get the job, which I need, or I don't get it, in which case I have nothing to lose being that I never had the job to begin with.

My friends had been telling me that this job wasn't meant to be and that God had something better for me, so I had that in the back of my mind. On the way to the interview I asked God to show me if this was His will or not. I arrived at the company confident that I was going to impress the director and they were going to beg me to work for them. But as soon I met this person I realized this was going to be much tougher than any of my other interviews. He was cold, unfriendly, and I could tell he wasn't interested in meeting with me. As soon as I sat down I began what is most certainly the worst interview I have ever had.

This was definitely an interview to cover his and the companies butt for their so called "miscommunication". I wasn't there to show him what I had to offer the company and how I would be an asset to the department. I was there as a formality for the mistake they had made. The cynicism that he gave off and the questions that he asked were completely uncalled for. It's a good thing I have a back bone, because had he done this to someone with less tolerance for bullies, he would have had them in tears. I honestly wanted to tell him off. How dare you question my integrity! He asked me to come to this "interview" only to turn their mistake around on me and make me look like the bad guy because I stood up for myself! Total lack of professionalism, that's what that is!

My husband had previously said to me that I wouldn't want to work for a company that behaved in such a manner. I gave them a chance to prove otherwise, but my husband was right. As I left I wished him well and walked to the car confident that this was not a company I wanted to be a part of. God showed me that this was not what he had for me. Sadly, I was upset with God last week because of the situation. He knows what I need, why would he take that from me? But the truth is, He really does know what I need and He was telling me that He didn't want me working for a company that had no morals, integrity, or ethics. The Lord says in Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you...

    God was showing you that he delivered you from sinking ship. It's not the type of company that you will be proud to work.

MY DIY TE FITI RUNNING COSTUME

Disney races are a big deal! I never knew just how popular they were until the year I was left out of the Wine & Dine race beca use it filled up in a matter of two hours. It was now 2017 and I was not going to let that happen again. I sat anxiously checking the time every 5 minutes waiting for 12 o'clock. I had both my laptop and phone open to the RunDisney registration page. As the clock struck twelve I rapidly jumped on! Jackpot! I was able to register! Now that registration was behind me, it was now time to think about the most important part...what costume was I going to wear! My favorite part of Disney races is dressing up and finding awesome costumes. My friend and I kept going back and forth on what costumes we should run in.  Our first idea was to run as cute snowmen, thinking the theme would be Christmas once again. But the theme had changed and it was now going to be Fall Feast. Our first thought about going with Beauty and the Beast characters becau

OUR PUERTO RICO VACATION

La Isla del Encanto… the island of enchantment… that is the popular name given to the island of Puerto Rico. In summer of 2017 we visited Puerto Rico on our family vacation.. we spent 8 days on the island.  This was the first time my boys and I had been to PR. Tony used to spend his summers there, as a kid, with his grandparents. I particularly enjoyed this trip because we had the opportunity to visit several places during our stay.  We flew from Fort Lauderdale, FL to the capital city of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Shortly after arriving we drove to the southwest central part of the island to visit Tony’s grandmother in the town of Adjuntas.  ADJUNTAS Adjuntas is known as the land of the sleeping giant because the mountain range looks like a giant sleeping on his side.  It’s located in a mountainous range so the climate is mild. The days we were there the weather was overcast and rainy, but pleasant because we didn’t experience

FROM CLOSET TO PANTRY

When I was in high school I wanted to to be an interior designer.  I ended up majoring in communication, but I still had and will always have a passion for interior design. When I lived at home with my parents I was constantly changing things around in my room, moving furniture in our living room, or changing out our home decor.   Now, I love having my own home where I can decorate and design to my hearts content, well as long as my husband is on board too. 😜   We bought our home almost 5 years ago, it was a great home with great bones, but it was a bit of a fixer upper. Over the years we have been slowly remodeling and fixing it up. Some areas we gutted and rebuilt, while others, we just did cosmetic changes, like painting or changing outdoors. Last year I took on a project of converting the coat closet into a pantry. Right off our kitchen is a coat closet that we don't use. We live in Central Florida and our coats are in a storage container. So, I decided to turn t
