I am currently looking for a job! I have an awesome work history that is steady and consistent! I am a workaholic and an organization freak (at work that is) I have been promoted and expanded my work experience at every job I have had! I am steadily applying for jobs and filling out questionnaires and attaching and uploading my resume, cover letter, transcripts. I have a personal goal I set for myself to apply for 10 jobs a week. Some weeks, there are more, some there are less, but I still go for it!
I have my resume on Monsterjobs.com. CareerBuilder.com, USAjobs.gov, Nevada Job exchange, Lasvegasjobs.com, and I'm sure there are more! Wow!
Looking for a new job takes as much time to do as a real job! As I said in my previous blog un-frikcin-employed I spend 4 - 5 hours a day looking for a job! But I am steadfast and stick with schedule. It has been 4 1/2 weeks since i was laid off. The Fontainebleau Resort isn't doing any better than me it seems. They are still in bankruptcy court and tring to get money to finish the project. It was scheduled to open in October 2009. This link has current photos and links to the most recent news articles.

I miss my job. I just checked the company website today for job openings, just in case. No jobs at this time. They have such an awesome portfolio. www.raymond-co.com
Just needed to take some time out of my day and blog about it. Thanks for listening!

un-frickin-employed!!!
So the awesome job I have loved since January 2008 laid me off June 3, 2009. Our construction site Fontainebleau Casino in Las Vegas went bankrupt. I am now unemployed and still find myself wide awake at 4:30 every morning!! So I get up and drive Eddie to work. Come home, eat some breakfast and get on the computer and look for a new frickin job! I swear I spend 5-6 hours a day Monday - Friday (sometimes Saturday) looking at the 5 job search agents I have signed up with. I apply for and send resumes to 2-4 places a day. Going for gold here, and looking at lots of Government jobs. Those applications are like taking an SAT test!! They take about 1-2 hours to complete! There is the background, education and then 60 - 90 questions for each application! YIKES!!
I am still adapting to the homemaker lifestyle. Problem is, I wake up at 4:30 am..........stores open about 8:00 am......Target, Office Depot, etc. I have bought 3 black ink cartridges and on my 2nd ream of paper!
Last time I was off work I had two little babies to chase around. Yup I have worked from days after I turned 16 until manditory maternaty leave with the twins in September 1991. Then I didn't return to work until they were almost 2! I mean, how many times a week can I do laundry and clean the house? I haven't let my self get sucked into the couch. I have only watched 3 movies, on 3 seperate days. I have actually lost weight! Woo hoo!
I am enjoying the one on one time with Darleen, and we are doing our best to not cry every day with Samantha at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. We are coping quite well I think. Going to start our evening/morning walks on Monday!
oh saw Transformers 2 in IMAX!!! THE BOMB DUDES!!!!! We will be seeing Harry Potter in IMAX also, they cost more but they are so AWESOME to see!!!

Brave Girl Dee Dee
Dee is a very brave girl. Today she has to fly to MEPS in SLC to finish her Army Reserve stuff and swear in. She is brave because she has to fly there alone, stay in a hotel alone and fly home Thursday alone.
I beleive she has decided on Gloria as the hippo travel companion of choice. Wise decision as she is a safe traveler. I had a picture of her, but its gone.

Welcome to Facebook
So I just wanted to say how much fun Facebook has become. Thanks Karissa for getting me started long ago at G-ma & G-Pa Gaynes house at midnight.
In the last few months I have rekindled long lost friendships and relatives. Also keeping posted with family and friends current. Still looking for others, if you are out there I will find you! I have hooked up with high school and jr high friends and some as far back as 6th grade! Crazy you say? Not I! I love it! Facebook friends are forever!
So take out that yearbook and look for a blast from the past!
