The RANT Thread Part Deux: Back with a vengeance

jeanie65jh wrote: Kawaii is right...sometimes if you say you have sales experience they will sometimes ask specifically about a sales experience and how you affected the company's sales numbers. Obviously the reason for this is to mark your sales ability...

For example, When I update my resume I site the fact that the account I work on (NYC Schools) is worth almost 3Mil of our company's sales to show that my work effects those numbers... (I am customer service and "sales support" at my company) does that makes sense?

it makes sense. i see what u're saying and what rain is saying too. rain's saying make anything that u've have done in ur life work for u (even if u have to embellish a simple thing as a lemonade stand when u were 10). and rain has a point. the 1st point of entry is the resume and u have to try to wow them with that. the problem is that u're not the only one applying and resumes/cv's can be kinda generic. if u've seen one u've seen them all. u have to make ur's stand out. a little emblishment here or there is not going hurt u. don't lie and say u have experience if u don't but even simple things can count and it's all in the presentation. in an interview it's even easier cuz u can explain those things to the interviewers. like a friend/co worker likes to say "I have a BS in bs and in my interviews i used it well." using the example of a lemonade stand it's not hard to turn smtng like that into smtng that could impress interviewers on multiple points. unfortunately or fortunately (depending on ur point of view) it all depends on how confidently u can bullsh*t.

I have another thing I'd like to complain about.

I spend 24/7 locked up in my room. Hell, half the time i don't even know what sun is anymore (and I know that's really unhealthy!) anyway, so my mom is always telling me off for not going anywhere, that i don't do anything all day, but when she has a day off, she and my sister end up sneaking off sometime while I'm locked in my room and don't come home all day then tell me they went shopping, or visiting someone!

It pisses me off because she, and everyone else in my family, are telling me I need to go out and do something to get me outta the house but when SHE goes out she doesn't even TELL me until hours later when I call her! It's no wonder I'm having break downs, panic attacks, and everything under the sun!

Ugh! I'm so pissed I don't even know what to say. I have a screwed up life and screwed up family. Shoot me v.v

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

v.v our stove keeps turning itself off - it's gas. We can't make food because we turn it on and then randomly it turns itself off. We've changed the gas tanks five times... :(

Rant:

Alright Kdama website...I couldn't be more grateful that I found a place to watch kdramas and you have tons of great shows to choose from. But you seriously piss me off sometimes because 1) I know that you've grown so much over the last two years there is no way you can't afford better subbers for the shows you are simulcasting. 2) Don't say you are going to release a drama on such and such date and then two days later it is still not available. Just...keep to the schedule you've set or ...don't set one at all! under promise and over deliver! Sheesh! Rant over and now I'm back to being grateful. thanks.

So it's shaping up to be a very depressing holiday season for me. I just found out last night that I probably won't be able to spend time with my Step-dad and his side of the family or my sister and brother-in law. I definitely won't be able to see them Christmas. And it's looking like I won't be able to see them for Thanksgiving either. It all depends on whether my sister can come get me, and so far she's making it difficult. This is the only time of year that I actually get to spend time with the fam, and I won't be able to do it this year.

The holidays should be spent with your family, sorry it's not looking like a good holiday season for you :/

Yeah I was really bummed last night. And I'm still upset today, but I'm working through it. haha Watching dramas always seems to help my mood, so I guess that's what I'll be doing a lot of. And I'm sorry that you won't be seeing much of your family either. :(

in my line of work i see scary/unfit parents and tho it's unethical i think doctors should tie the tubes of women who have kids and have proven themselves unfit mothers. if u have 1 and u suck at being a mother, u can't provide basic needs for the child or even provide a loving, nurturing environment for that 1st child why should u go on to have children #2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 and ur circumstances have not changed at all, nor are u trying to improve it. honestly some ppl want to better themselves and u see them working at it but they have a never ending stream of bad luck, i can sympathize with those but there are some who don't give a crap and keep making children. and all i keep thinking is jeez ever thought to use a condom. every condom used will prevent a child from ending up at my work place and it will be a good day when there are no more unfit parents and there will not be a need for children's homes.
