AG: After Google

It's been awhile since I had the time to write. I thought I had found the perfect job. It was such a difficult year in 2011. I was at Google for a little over a year. I left in November 2012. I'm now at a bio-tech start-up. It's quite exciting. I'm leaving for New Orleans in one week for a large conference.

I have to learn that there are always more choices. Once I left Google, I lost 15 pounds. My managers now respect me and appreciate how well I work.

Not like my stupid, insecure manager at Google. I went and had lunch there and I think she gained 30 pounds. HaHa!! Pay-back is a bitch.

I'm still looking for that gal pal.....
The search continues.....

New Normal

Some time has passed and I now know what real friends are. I've pondered so much on why so many of my friends became haters in the last few months. Really!? I'm frustrated and sad. When did it become okay to wish the worst to people you "care" about. Haters keep hating.... I feel a new novel topic coming on.... Where are my girls at?

Utopia at Last

I found a job. Not just any job but an amazing job at a monster search engine company. This is the break I needed and the validation I craved. The sad part is my friends or the people I thought who were my friends all became haters. Well, not all but most. This saddens me. I've worked so hard to get an advance degree. I left a company that I gave 10 years that no longer appreciated me. And I found a job maybe a career that is a great fit.
At one point, the hating was so bad that I have not heard back from 5 individuals. NADA. No congratulations. So f%$# you!!
I'm happy and my happiness is worth more then making you feel better about yourself. So go ahead and hate while I go have dinner for free.

Hope on the Horizon

So to further clarify, I started this blog to have a place to vent about the frustrations I was feeling about my job search. It will change in time and become a place for me to make a comment on anything. Because eventually I will have a new job and the venting will end on that matter. Therefore to keep this blog going it will be about whatever I want it to be. Otherwise don't be surprised on the content matter but let's get back to the subject at hand. First things first...

I had two amazing interviews in the last week. I feel really good about both. I would be very happy with either option. I already have one second interview on the books for next week. Think good thoughts and be prepared. "Chance favors the prepared mind"

The Job Hunt Continues

I've been looking for a new career for almost a year now. I wonder why it's taking so long to find a fit. Maybe I don't interview well. I have no idea. However my frustration is building and I'm using this blog to help alleviate the growing despair I'm feeling. I'm well-educated, smart, articulate, tenacious, analytical, driven, positive, and out-going. I've applied to over 400 jobs now. If an employer really wanted detail-oriented, they would've picked me. I can tell if any of my books have been moved a millimeter on my bookshelf. I can tell if someone has used my desk in my absence because my mouse wasn't exactly where I left it. I know I will find something. I just hope it's sooner rather then later.
