Well, in case you haven't heard I was laid off. = ( It's mostly lame because I actually kinda liked my job. Most of the people there were great. I worked at Rocky Mountain Composites for just over 3 years. I started as the secretary, moved into Accounts Payable, and then was promoted last year to a Purchasing Agent. They said the decision was a purely financial one, and hope to hire some of us back on in the future once they get some more money coming in. I think there were about 20 of us. Pretty lame.
I've been looking for a new job for almost 2 weeks now. Not fun. It's a lot of work, and no one's paying me to do it. I just haven't found what I'm looking for. There's a couple I might consider if I just can't find what I want.
What I think I want:
*Full-time (or close) 8-5? *Position: Purchasing Agent, Financial Clerk/Bookkeeper, Office Manager, or Administrative Assistant *Not too far from my house (closer the better) *M-F only *Good pay (the closer to $14-15/hour the better, but it's looking like I might need to take a pay cut) *Flexible atmosphere (I had a job once where I had to ask to go to the bathroom...not cool.) *Not so crappy and/or stressful that I just want to go home and cry everyday (had one of those, too.) *Allowed to wear jeans would be a plus
What are some jobs that you've had that you liked? Let me know if you hear of anything that's even close!

oh I hope you find something soon. especially since I do not live there anymore to enjoy the retired vo. but you Sheri and allie and live it up just like old days!
hey, vo. so sorry to hear that. there has to be a reason for everything, though. right? maybe you could take like 20 credits this semester at byu. haha...
hmmm. have you tried an accounting job at one of the summer sales companies in provo? like pinnacle security? they have a pretty big year-round staff and it seems are always looking for office help.
a pediatrician's office or hospital admin could be fun, too.
good luck!
Come on. You weren't 'laid off', you were 'let go'. (The idiots.) $20 bucks says they don't last a month without you. Just you wait, 'Niquey 'iggins, they'll be crawling back or going under in no time!
Hi! I stalk your blog occasinally from Christine's page - I went to MV with her and Venicia. I have a job that meets a lot of your criteria - the city Police Department! I work in Records at the PD, but your city will have accounts payable, administrative assistants and office managers in lots of different departments. This is the first job I've had that I loved! Good luck! Danielle (Heitert)
Total bummer. I am sorry. You will find something and maybe even like it better!! That would rock.
Hang in there and enjoy the break. Yeah I know, what break? You are looking for a job full time and not getting paid. GOOD LUCK!
That stinks! I'm so sorry! I will keep you in my prayers!
Hey Vo! You found a new job yet? How is everything else going with you and Jared? Hope you're well!
