I know there is still much partying going on in this crazy, bloggityville of ours – over 700 folks, I hear! Many thanks to all who swung by my place – it’s been great to meet you and visit a while!

Today I have a funny tale to regale you all with – ala “Office Space”, hence the appropo red Swingline adorning my page.

In my previous place of business, which shall of course remain nameless, I encountered…well, much weirdness. I had difficulty socializing and could go days without speaking to anyone but my boss – and if you know me at all, you KNOW that that just ain’t me!

There was also a great deal of trouble with my name. My first nameplate said “Trisha” and when I informed the office manager that that was incorrect, I instead got one that said “Lricia”. Yes, Lricia. Seriously! And “while they ordered me a new one” (read: tried to appease me but really did nothing), they fixed it to read my real name with WHITE OUT. When paging or calling me, I was called Tina, Theresa, Terez, and other variations of names beginning with “T”. I do need to insert the disclaimer here, however, that this seems to be an ongoing theme. I recently received something in the mail addressed to Trichina (yes, I did) and had someone call for me and ask for Twila.

Yes, ma’am.

Anyway, I left said previous place of business several months ago (note the use of the word “months” – as in less than six – not “years”). The other week, I got home to find a number I recognized but could not place on the caller id and a voicemail.

The voicemail was from the hiring manager at said previous place of business.

Who “came across my resume from a long time ago” (read: “fall of 2005”) and didn’t know if I was still looking but wanted to talk to me about ___________ position.

MY POSITION.

That I had left less than 6 months before.

This was not an offer to come back.

It was an offer to come in the first place.

She had NO IDEA that I had been employed in that position for nearly a year and it was my previous job she was trying to fill.

Now, granted, she was new there – but surely my name or file or SOMETHING must somehow be on record, filed, whatever related to this position.

Needless to say, (but I’ll say it anyway) I called her back. And told her that I had already held that position, in fact it was because I had left that she was trying to now fill it.

And she actually laughed out loud. And told me I made her day.

AHEM.

Yeah, welcome to my world.

This is really cool!

With all this partying going on, I almost forgot (well, to be honest, I truly did forget) that I wanted to try something that’s going on over at The Lazy Organizer!

Each week, you choose a new habit to start working on. I have A LOT to work on, but I have to start somewhere. And I think this is a neat idea.

So my new habit for this week is…taking vitamins. And let me tell you, I hate vitamins! Mamacita is a big proponent of vitamins and has been for years and years. There was a time when I was a teenager when she had me taking so many vitamins…I’d say it was like 14 or something. And they made me feel sick, every time. Now that I’m a “grown up”, I’ve shied away from vitamins. Occassionally, I’ll try a multivitamin but the first time I feel sick to my stomach, it’s in the cabinet until it expires.

This week, I bought some B-12 and started taking that. There are a couple other things I think would be helpful to me, so I am going to investigate them and start off slow and see how it goes. Wish me luck!

Welcome to the Ultimate Blog Party! It’s being hosted over at http://www.5minutesformom.com! I think I was blogger #536!!!!!!!!!!

So if you have been party hopping, welcome to my humble little corner of the blogsphere! I’m not a mom but I do have a lot of kids – three furry ones, about 13 teenagers, and upwards of 20 in preschool, elementary school and junior high. If you check out my blog, you’ll find out how that all translates – I am mom to three black and white cats: Ramona, Nellie & Norman (the baby). I lead the Children’s Ministry program at my church and am also a youth leader. I love the Lord and am very active with those ministries and others in my church. I’m always busy, always on the go – but I love blogging. It’s a great way for me to have an opportunity to write, which I had been missing for several years, and a wonderful way to keep up with family and old friends. And it’s been a great way to meet new ones too!

Make yourself at home and have fun at the Ultimate Blog Party! And don’t forget to leave me a comment and let me know you stopped by!
