Secretive Dating in NYC

Ever notice that people are so secretive on who they are dating? What is the big secret?

Something that bugged me today...

I probably could write a novel about all the things that could bug me on one day. However, for some reason this bugged me tremendously.

I was walking home and a garbage truck passed by me. One of the crew members of the garbage truck tossed out an empty Red Bull can. I would want to think the garbage man believed in keeping the streets/sidewalks clean from littering and garbage. I guess not... Society at it's best!

So you wanna be a Real Estate Salesperson?

I have been giving Real Estate a lot of thought lately...

I actually decided overnight last week that it was time to actually do something about it. I enrolled in a Real Estate Salesperson Licensing program and started taking classes the same day. I am enjoying learning all these vocabulary words actually. However, I am told everything I am learning for the exams are useless and the words are all called something else in the real word. So basically it is going to be a long time for this career move to be in full swing. The program I am taking is very popular. The average class size seems to be around 50 students during the daytime. I can only imagine what the night class sizes are like. A few times a day brokers actually come to visit and talk about their organization in hoping of finding new fresh talent to recruit to their agency. I figure I will see how this all works out and if I have a shot at Real Estate.

The Gym

I use to dread going to the gym. Let me rephrase that last sentence. I still dread going to the gym but for other reasons. I originally dreaded going to the gym because I did not know what to do there.What machines I should use, how to use them etc... Now that I know how to use a few of them I am comfortable using them. However, it is more the fact that i am lazy with getting my ass to the gym. Once I am at the gym I notice how people for the most part exercise painlessly as if it is part of their normal routine. However, I being self-conscious notice I mus be one of the odd person out of the bunch. However, every once in awhile someone seems to be more lost than I am which is actually reassuring. On one of my more recent visits a guy was trying to mimic what I was doing for my routine. The person was trying to be nonchalant but it was very obvious it was their first time at the gym. On another occasion, about a month ago, someone was asking me about how they can get a locker for the day. It is great to see others that are more lost than I am because I feel more comfortable and I feel more at home and not the person wearing the new shoes on the block.

Still looking for work...

Last week I went on a few more interviews. They will get back to me if they are interested... So I will keep looking I guess. It is hard finding an organization/company that I think is making an impact to society. I want to find a place that also looks good on a resume. I saw an ad online to work for 1-800-Got-Junk. I wonder how many of their employees put the name of that company on their resume? Do people just say i worked at a startup without naming the company? I am only using the 1-800-Got-Junk as an example since it was the last company I saw on a job listing website. It had a good entry level managerial position but I simply cannot bring myself to terms with working for a company that "Got Junk". Am I alone here? What are your thought?

The insane comments...

Great! Now I am starting to see spam comments on by blog. Tara I think nobody wants to see your website. If anyone wants to do a shout out of their website please feel free to comment on this post. But please make sure your website is at the very least useful to society and not some get rich quick scheme or free iPod and/or iPhone give away. Remember this is your chance to let us all in on something cool.

I also do not get anything out of posting this information. I just like the idea of the company and hope they succeed. *Hint* In case Joost is listening... I would love to work for you.

And remember no more spam on my comments. Send me creative links to websites offering interesting products and/or services... NOT SPAM!

Health Insurance

It looks like I will finally have Health Insurance again. I will be covered starting October 1st. It apparently is a hassle to get. They want to meet with you and see that you are not a lunatic. The agent discusses the plans and signs you up after an enormous amount of paperwork. Other tan that not much is new here. I was on vacation for the labor day weekend. Yes I was on vacation again. Lately it seems my life is one big vacation. Once I find a new job the party will be all over. For now it isn't over yet!!!
