A stressful 24 hours....

I had my final interview for the job on Monday and we once again drove to the headquarters which is 40 miles away. I sat down with the CEO and talked to him for over 30 min after waiting for him to arrive for over 30 min. I thought it went well and he told me that they would call me the next day. The whole time I have been interviewing with this group I have told them I could only give them 2 days a week, and all the interviewers have been asking again, "Only 2 days?" YES!Only 2 days! That is all I need to work, so that's all I'm willing to work! So after the Director of Nursing Services gave me the distinct impression that I would have an offer on the table by Tuesday and the orientation starting this week, I get a letter stating that they are not offering me the position. Arrgh! So I have driven 160 miles, worked for free 8 hours till 12:30am and been lead along for 3 weeks and they decided that I shouldn't have it because I can't give them anything over 2 days! If that was a problem they should have just never called me in the first place! They were very nice in the letter, stating that they really liked me and were very impressed with my experience and references, but so what? I needed that job! Uggh! Any way that is now over, and I will find something soon. After I picked up Jason at work, we went to Toys R Us for Gabriela's B-day Gift. Jason tried to use our credit card and it wouldn't go through. I haven't been able to find mine for a few days, but this is really not unusual for me and they always turn up. Well, when we got home I called the company and they said that someone called on the 12th at 7:30 pm stating that it was me, and said that they had lost the card and wanted 2 new ones sent to my address. So I guess someone was planning on getting them out of my mailbox. I was confused on how they were able to accomplish this since they wouldn't know my information. I then people searched my name on yahoo and up popped my address. That is all they ask for when you call the credit card company. I alerted them that this was fraud, but it freaks me out that someone may be planning on taking stuff out of my mailbox and using it! I got those cards cancelled, am having new ones sent again, I will watch the mail like a hawk, and I put fraud alerts on the credit reporting agencies so they will call me if anyone seeks credit in our names. I also put a password on my accounts so no one can just call and make changes without it. I must have dropped it in the neighborhood. I remember having it at Micheal's when I was getting the stuff for Mother's day. So all in all it's been a rough 24 hours. But hopefully things will turn around now. On a weird note, yesterday at walmart they had a Barbie like doll that was the Virgin Mary and a Ken like doll that was Jesus. It was kind of disturbing. I felt like kids wouldn't give those objects the proper respect they deserved. I would hate to see Jesus out in the sandbox, in the rain, or dressed up in Ken's Hawaiian shirt for heaven's sake! It seemed sacrilegious! Let me know what you think......

That sucks about the job!!! I wish that employers would put on their listening ears when people apply. It saves everyone a whole lot of hassle that way. As for the whole Ken and Barbie thing. I am also horrified. That just seems way too bizarre for me. I am ok with the whole Fisher Price little people Noah and nativity set. They are for kids but don't come with detachable clothing. I was telling a friend about this and she was curious if Jesus and Mary were all anatomically correct. Who knows, but they put underwear on Ken now, what would they do for Jesus?
