Well, I'm back from my first day of classes! Of course, the first day is always an orientation day, and Mr. Terry Williams, the guy who runs the training facility, shared his vision for us with us. We were then introduced to our instructors, and told that several employers will be looking in to shop for potential employees. We will be observed and graded for everything from timeliness and completion of assignments, to proper daily attire. We had free breakfast, too!
Okay, now before I receive those "Oh, my God, how could you not have known that?" comments from you, I want you to know that the instructor already made me feel like an idiot. I didn't know that I was supposed to have a business card. No one ever taught me that business cards were networking tools, and that even if I'm not working, I should have one, because I need a job, and business cards will help me find one. I said that having business cards printed cost too much money (for me, they do, especially since I never knew or felt like I needed any!), and once all the bills are paid, I have no money left over for such luxuries. Well, let's just say that I felt like two cents after the instructor answered to my balking about the business cards. Then, one of those "goody-goody" students chimed in and said, "Well, you can have some printed up for ONLY $26.00! ONLY, she said!!! So, I guess I'll have to have business cards printed, but not for no $26.00! However, I ALWAYS keep several copies of my resume on hand, and had one available when it was time to work on ANOTHER RESUME EXERCISE. I tell you, I have at least six to ten versions of my resume already!
When my husband returns, I have to go to Southeast Houston to run an errand for my mom. Oh, and I just learned that I have to go and see about my baby daughter, Angela, at school. Some little boy that she's had problems with touching and trying to kiss her before is at it again!!!!! Bye, y'all!

I didn't know you needed business cards either. Whoa - take Kisha's advice and go the cheap route.

sometimes you don't have 26.00 for anything after the bills are paid. I hope this issue with your daughter and this boy get solved.
I hate when people try and make you look foolish. Hope everything goes well with the class though...and with your daughter too.
