Winners and Losers

Now that  country’s first (semi) automated election has come to pass, I am sure a lot have heaved a sigh of relief while some probably shook their heads in disbelief and started planning on how to amass to get back the money they spent. I know of people who need anti wrinkle cream because of so many problems and challenges they had to face for several months.

I for one am grateful that I do not need to listen to and watch TVC of empty promises and catchy tunes (that got one senator the highest votes among all candidates, merde!).

My choice for president didn’t win but I am glad the one who is leading the count is one I can agree with rather the one tailing behind him. To those who conceded, I salute you!

Wanted: Job Vacancy

In the uncertain times leading to the economic difficulties of a lot of the so-called first world countries, people have become more creative in being able to find jobs.

Some would even go through great lengths to move to the city of Philadelphia jobs offers. Yes, there are those who are willing to pack up and try their “luck” in other places as far as China.

Some put up their resumes online and hope for head hunters to find them.

Some people re-invent themselves and start all over again, doing an entirely different thing.

If this thing happens to you, how ready are you to face the challenges?

Equal Opportunity

We homeschool the kids but this coming school year, we plan to enroll them in a school. Consensual choice.

So now, a job search begins.

Who would want a middle-aged female and mom like me in the work force? I know I have the credentials, the skills, the (ahem) personality and on top of that I have other skills that I can be proud of.

Still on top of that, if I go the usual channel of job application, I may not be able to land one.

Why not?

I find companies in this country discriminating. There seems to be a NO EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY for those applying for job vacancies.

I’d see job postings: “Graduates of blah-blah-blah courses, preferably from yada-yada-yada universities”

Preschool teacher: Preferably single and not more than 35 years old. (Yeah right how could single moms care for preschool children but then again married teachers will excuse themselves because of child/home-related emergencies)

I don’t know, should the Labor Department look in on this?

Reading About 2009 in Review

Since I am unable to move and be up and about, I got to reading a lot of year-ender articles. I absolutely love these article summing up what has happened. There are topics and issues that are familiar and there are those I just encountered just now.

I have been reading about the decade’s cybercrimes when I got to open several tabs which made me search for diamonds and in turn made me read about NatGeo’s SuperDiamonds.

I don’t know, there is just something about crime and diamonds that go together.

Oh well, now I am off to read more. Who knows, I might learn something new today and I am sure I will  🙂
