Today was a good day, as far as the class goes. I made 2 A's today, and did excellent work on my letter writing exercises. Those commands in Microsoft Word are a GREAT thing when you know how to use them! They make document writing much simpler! What would normally take me ALL DAY to type and/or correct now takes only minutes! I am really glad that I am taking this course. Not only will I be efficient in ANY clerical/administrative support job, but I will be a much better letter and document writer, too!
My unemployment insurance ran out, but I called the TX WorkForce and they put an application for an extension in for me by phone, so I don't have to worry about that right now. I thought I had to go back to work for Wal-Mart! For those who just started reading this journal, I'm not saying that there's ANYTHING WRONG with working for Wal-Mart. I'm just looking for a better paying job with better benefits. While I am here, I am trying to take advantage of those opportunities. There's nothing wrong with that! Besides, it would be very awkward going out on interviews and having people call for you while you're working! Wal-Mart will BE THERE! I don't want to miss A THING!
Wednesday morning, I have another skills test/interview in Conroe, TX. This isn't TX Dept Of Public Safety, but the Conroe Police Department, as a Communications Officer. The pay is more, they have full medical and dental benefits, but the shifts are twelve-hour instead of eight. I also sent in an application for a Senior Dispatcher position available here in Houston. It would be nice to work closer to home!!!
I didn't have a suit to wear for a job interview (all of my clothes are "church folkish"), so I went to a thrift store and purchased a black suit coat, a black skirt, and a white blouse to go underneath. Everything fits perfectly, the colors match (yes, there are different shades of black!), and the total price for everything was less than $20! Lucky me!!!!
My oldest daughter made her first "B" on her test since she's been at school, because of a tip I learned from my instructor that I taught her! The "process of elimination" tip works every time!!!! I am SO PROUD of my baby!!!!!
I have an errand to run for my mother tonight, and I have to study for a test tomorrow, so I will holler at y'all later. Thanks again for your comments and prayers, I really appreciate it! Love y'all!!! Bye!!!
