Jul. 23 Post Secret:
"My mother was raped. She never told. Even after they blamed her for
getting pregnant and made her give me away...she kept her silence. I hate keeping secrets..."
Me: You and your mom need to get counseling.
"I have been waiting 10 years for him to ask me why I gave him
away."
Me: Why don't you look for your son? Also you need counseling too.
"I was fired from my job for calling the National Suicide Hotline."
Me: You may be able to sue the company for dismissing you
over that. You also need counseling.
Jul. 23 Lole: I
was looking for a job and then I found out Lole is hiring. It's a
women's athletic clothing store that will be opening at West Ed mall.

Jul. 24 News:
I read in the 24 News that a Winnipeg woman fought off an attempted
rape in broad daylight, while at the same time called 911. Her name is
Regina Hiebert and this teenager was on a bike. He asked her for the
time and then rushed at her.
She dialed 911 behind her back, and
one digit in, he noticed she was dialing and tried to get the phone.
She kept fighting and yelled into the phone. She had self-defense
training and she was really angry and used her emotions. She said:
"When I get angry, I get a lot of strength. The secret to getting
through something like this is 'Don't panic,
but think through what you're going to do now."
She pinned him
down and he said he felt sick and was going to throw up. She wouldn't
get off him and told him that he can throw up where he was. Police
arrived.
Good for her that she fought him off and got him arrested.
Jul. 30 Rant:
I mentioned how my sister yells at me for one thing, and then starts
yelling about other things. First I annoyed her because I was hitting
my toothbrush on the sink, and I woke her up. Then she yells at me for
not helping my brother and tells me to not twist the doorknob when I
close the door.
That doesn't really get me angry. I get angry
about one thing and it leads to totally different things. Like that
time in 2006 when I failed a quiz in college. Afterwards, I was really
angry about it, and started thinking about Maury and Dr. Phil. That was
the year I quit those shows months ago, but it has
an underlying effect on me.
Smart phone infographic: Sarah Wegner emailed this about Smart Phones are being used. People are buying so many Apps then ever before. Check it out:
Jul. 31 Feelings: I've read in YM
magazine that if you write down your feelings before a test, you will
do well on it. I have 3 job interviews in the next 2 days.
Job
#1: I feel a little nervous. I think I have done this interview before
last summer with a guy named Nick. It was at a school. I think I can
do the job. It's close by, and I can learn and grow in this position
because the school is so big.
Job #2: It's for a medical office, and I think I can do the
job.
Job #3: This is a really challenging job. I did research
for it to really prepare for it by going to the website and taking
notes. This is one I'm really nervous about.
Funny proposal: Now
it's time to relax a little bit, by showing this funny video on Yahoo.
This guy proposes to his girlfriend at a baseball game by having "Will
You Marry Me Erica?" on the score board, but she wasn't there.
Cut
to him putting a ring on her finger, they kiss and hug. She was
wearing a baseball hat so I couldn't see her face, so I can see her
happy reaction.
I have seen some on TV. Like the one on the Tyra Banks show.
I wrote about it back in 2008 on this blog/ email. This 18 yr old girl
Summer was a prostitute at the Bunny Ranch and she worked there for a
short period of time and didn't want to do it anymore. Then her
boyfriend proposed to her on the show, and she said
yes. I squealed with excitement.
Here's the Yahoo video:

TV Businessmen: Jay Smith sent me this article called "9 Most Brilliant TV Businessmen." It has fictional characters like Don Draper (Mad Men), Walter White (Breaking Bad) and Tony Soprano (The Sopranos.) It has real ones like Donald Trump and Simon Cowell.

Facebook ads: Hannah
Howard sent me this article "10 Reasons Your Facebook Ads Aren't
Working." If the ad is boring, or the image or text isn't effective, no
one's going to notice it. I don't know about you, but I never click on
the ads on Facebook or rarely any
website.

Low expectations:
Low expectations can either hurt you or help you. I have low
expectations of people and things, then I won't be disappointed when
they let you down.
Co-workers: It does help me with
co-workers. It's like that time at the Soup place. Co-worker #1 was
often missing Mon. and Tues. and she doesn't call to say she's not
coming. It started happening a couple months when she started working
there. I started lowering my expectations of her showing up on those
days.
I had low expectations of Co-worker #2 who misses 1 or 2
days of work a week. You can't predict when he won't show up, like
he'll miss a Fri. one week, and miss a Tues. the next week.
You
can't control people, but you can control your reactions to those
people. My managers have talked to Co-Worker #1
and told her that if she doesn't show up on a Mon. or Tues. again
without calling, she's fired. After a couple of weeks, she does it
again. She doesn't get fired. I'm not really disappointed in her
actions. I'm not really disappointed in my managers either because
they're so nice and easygoing.
They don't fire people. They had
one worker who was mean, but she quit. Then another worker showed up,
she was mean and she quit too. I didn't expect them to stick around
because they didn't seem to like the job, so it's more of waiting for
them to
quit.
Restaurant #2: At my current job, I have low
expectations for people in this one department. I see a lot of people
quit there. One person works there for a few days and quit. Usually
they work for a couple months and quit.
Call Centres: I
have low expectations of these since 2006 because Call Centre #1
unexpectedly closed down and laid us all off. I was really hurt by it
because I have never been laid off before. After that, I didn't expect
any call centre to stick around which is what happened.
I worked
at Call Centre #2 in 2006. Then I went back in 2007 to apply again, I
didn't get hired. I went there in 2008, and it closed down. I wasn't
hurt by it.
I got hired at Call Centre #3 in 2009, and the
shifts were 9am-4pm. After 2 weeks, it was 5pm-9pm. I was under the
impression it was going to be day shifts, but it was only for that
project. I was disappointed.
I didn't expect much from them
after that. Then they started cancelling my shifts. I was not
surprised when I got laid off later. I wasn't upset.
Aug. 2 Saying:
I was going through my notes and found "Justification for Higher
Education." I looked it up and it was for a poster. It has this huge
mansion, a helicopter, and 5 cars in the
garage.
