Thanks For Wishes
By Andrea Menzies
Thank you Internet friends for wishing me a happy birthday. It is bittersweet in that I don’t get to see all the long distance friends I miss so much very often. I am happy to see them wish me a happy birthday, but unhappy that it reminds me I can’t visit them more frequently. It does remind me that I used to be far more socially active, and that I will go to nearby towns to make many new friends soon for events this month. I am a single woman that very much hates having no man to date. Halloween is a great time to meet people at events in towns not in Virginia at all.
- Note by far my favorite birthday gift was the Garmin 935 fitness watch and fitness band. Oh so inspirational for biking fun.

Travel Away
By Andrea Menzies
It is still my vow to never go out in Virginia night life again. I still love music, but Virginia is a nightmare of con artist scum. One night I went out and a guy screamed “hold this” and the guy put a beer in my hand I was not drinking, and a cigarette in my hand I was not smoking, and snapped a photo. Then he threatened to put the photos all over the Internet if I did not pay him as a bribe. I had no money to give him. It happened dozens of times more before I started slapping men. Men have tried to roofie my water one million times. This NEVER happened in Texas or Louisiana! Virginia has garbage for night life! Road trips away from Virginia are all I will pursue for music, fun, or dating. All people in areas not around Virginia know you are the people I want to socialize with and NEVER Virginia people. It is my birthday this week, and it makes me long to go out and be social, but a road trip far away from Virginia is the only option.

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
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.

Another Show
By Andrea Menzies
Wow I can’t understand how another show is gone. Their arguments are so weak they cannot withstand any debate? I am not a Disney Plus subscriber, but now I am NEVER going to be after this crap.
A good point.

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.
