    I finally voted after verification of my address four places. One of the reasons I was ranting about people not believing my address yesterday was they were trying to keep me from voting this week. I was still doing address verification at the social security office today. I can’t believe it is a mistake in a wild political year that people wrongly mixing up my address was a mistake. Why did four government places have it wrong only at voting time? I have a big family in many areas, and I visit them. Nothing normal is happening in any government building these days. Hopefully balance will restore to political power someday soon.

  • Double Pumpkin

    Double Pumpkin

    By Andrea Menzies

    My daughter and I painted Halloween pumpkins this week. I was teaching at schools doing pumpkin crafts, and it reminded me it was time to do our own. My pumpkin has the pointy eyes on the right. We like to use paint and markers as it takes longer to spoil.

    Left Alexandria’s pumpkin, right my pumpkin.

  • Almost Birthday

    Almost Birthday

    By Andrea Menzies

    The temporary work I got with Kelly Staffing was over faster than I thought, and now I am back to teaching again. I forgot one of the reasons I quit pursuing temp work employment is they often promise far more employment time and money than they can deliver to employees. It is almost my birthday, and having free time to plan a good party with balloons turns out to be the most valuable use of my time. I did make some extra money from the job, and now I can go to extra Halloween activities far from the horrible place that is called Virginia. It is my every dream and goal to move far away from the Virginia area.

  • New Job

    New Job

    By Andrea Menzies

    I got a new job plus started this week! I already have a medical assisting certification with Excel and typing from years ago, and was taking light refresher courses in that subject online. In addition I have a University degree, and employment services verified both this month and got me a new job. My other job was not giving me enough work or hours, and I was glad for the upgrade. The job economy is really rough right now, but there are still a few opportunities out there particularly in healthcare jobs. I am so happy the change worked out.

    • Note: I have been applying and reapplying for this same kind of job for YEARS in Virginia, and it is officially weird that they picked now to notice my application. Oh well better late than never.
  • Red Flags

    Red Flags

    There are many red flags in job hunting. At least this week I got three call backs from managers.

  • Month 3

    By Andrea Menzies

    This week I had a fight with teacher HR as it marks the 3rd month I had no pay at all. My daughter has a birthday this week I had to borrow gift money. I have been working for days since August, and they are not going to pay me until October 1st. They did not answer my first 8 emails or calls. They do not do this to permanent teachers, and it is just one of the nightmares they inflict on subs. I officially put in applications for hundreds of jobs after getting off the phone. Some jobs pay you weekly, and this one pays you if and when they feel like it maybe someday. How can you pay rent with that? When they did this stuff around the time of the pandemic they had an excuse, but they are still doing it yet they don’t have an excuse anymore.
