"NETWORKING"...AN ANNOYING WORD BUT THE ONLY WAY TO GET A JOB
I have decided that I can't find a job unless I find someone to find me the job. Every great job I've snagged has been thanks to a phenominal person that "talked me up" to someone inside the company.
I have spent MONTHS applying to jobs and have heard back NOTHING!!! I've emailed resumes, walked in to businesses and handed my resumes to the boss but nothing. No response at all.
Another thing I've done is signed up for emails from different "job sights" that just send me all this redundant cheerleading crap. Reading that stuff ain't going to get me a job!
It's knowing someone on the inside that will.

CHAPTER 1
"Well that didn't go so well," she said as she woke up with a screaming back pain. "I thought maybe I'd be able to get out of bed, not stay in it permanently."
The sun was out, her room was illuminated. Her nightstand was full of tissue paper there in case she should wake in the middle of the night sneezing. But that would have been even a worse scenario being the state she was in.
Lying next to the tissue paper sat a cellphone. Not the top of the line brand, not a fancy smart phone, just a regular small unit that could get the basics done. It wasn't attached to a charger. It wasn't even on. Yet she was staring at it.
Today she would accomplish at least two things. Being that it was Saturday, she didn't really have to do anything, but she was set on accomplishing everything on this short list. Number one was to get out of bed without fainting from the pain. And number two was to turn on that cellphone...
And begin her life.

HELEN THOMAS RESIGNS
Wow! I talked about her LAST TIME ADDRESSING A PRESIDENT AT A PRESS CONFERENCE in one of my recent blogs. She was asking Obama about getting us out of Afghanistan, and the President looked at her like he was honored to take the question.
Helen always said what she felt, and no doubt with the latest troubles between Israel and Palestine she had some severe thoughts. It's bizarre that what she said was in response to a question given to her by a rabbi.
She's been asking presidents questions since Eisenhower and now she's silenced by the internet itself. I'm sure the rest of her life will be consumed by trying to explain herself.
Will those thoughts make headline news? Probably not. We'll have all moved on to the next controversy.
