Excuse me while I vent...

You know what, I am SICK of these stupid job search websites that require you to upload your resume and then you spend the next 20 minutes fixing all the entries that they autoload. 

And what about the one that makes you fill in 30 different fields to give the most irrelevant information. You really need to where I found out about the job listing?  REALLY?  And then you need 3 drop down boxes for me to tell you?  But you don't care if it is Other?

And how come you can't tell that I am from Staten Island, NY if I give you my zip code?  And then if I tell you I am from Staten Island, NY, How come you don't know I am from the US???  Seriously.  Is there a Staten Island, NY in Mexico or Uganda?

And why do these website companies sell their HR tools to EVERY single company, but pretend like they never saw me before when I go on to the next site?  You know I just filled in your annoying forms on the last job I applied to...

And why does Beyond.com send me the same attractive job every other day, but when I click on the link the job is no longer available? 

Okay.  I feel better now.  Back to more positive thoughts.

Evolution with my Resolutions

Resolutions are only as good as the people who keep them.  I'm doing my darndest to stay on top of mine.  Otherwise, whats the point?

Here's my status so far....
Networking - I have 2 coffee dates set up in the city and I have signed up for a networking breakfast for the first week of February.

Getting out of the house/Gym - I'm on the right track.  Been to the gym twice this week so far. I can't believe how out of shape I am only after a few weeks.  Well, serves me right.  I started the Joy's Life Diet, but I found a box of fudge in the fridge...BAD.

Going to bed.  12 pm for 2 nights in a row.  That's a big deal for me.  No more Netflix in bed. 
The rest of the items I have to work on...but I'll get there.   Seriously, I'm hoping my job search ends soon.  I am tired of making myself "busy."

GOODNIGHT!
