Crazy Mind
So yesterday I applied for a position for IKEA. It is a Human Resource Generalist position. It sounds on paper, well website, to be similar to what I do in my current job. I am so nervous. It has been over 5yrs that I have looked for a job and if you have looked for a job you know how scary it can be. I am trying to talk myself into not freaking out but true to form it is all I thought about today. I love Wal-Mart but am looking to I don't even know what just apply at IKEA. Ro did a lot of research and they are a very good company to work for soooo why not apply. I think for some people they think IKEA is cooler than Wal-Mart so thats why they think I should work there. I don't know I am in a funk, the winter blues, they are mostly black! Today one of our associates came into the office refused to speak to me, because I haven't called her son about his application, and went right to my training coordinator. She explained in spanish that I have nothing to do with it, that we are waiting to make all the temporary associates permant before we are hiring outside. It will only be a week before we can get him in for an interview but according to this woman, I can not be trusted. I was mad at first and then just felt like crying. Why is this lady bothering me, why does this little thing make me upset. People are the same everywhere and I deal with people who are always mad at me or don't trust me, but I am fine, just not today. I kept thinking today about if I left Wal-Mart what would it be like? How would I find the bargins everyday? My mind is out of control and all I can think about is this. This little thing that people do everyday. Either way I will not lose anything accept that crazy lady not trusting me.

Change is good, especially when you have a pressure filled, expectation laden job (like Human resources at Wal-Mart). I am excited to hear how the Ikea application goes.

Bear! I am so excited for you. I can't wait to hear how it goes.
Umm bear, I wanna work there too.
Andrea, you can very proud, in a humble way , of all you have done at Wal Mart. It seems weird that 10 "thank yous" can not equal one "what" !!! ? Think about an Abe or Vivian smile, that helps too. Remember i love you. Dad >
Andrea, You can do this! Don't let other people get you down! You are a wonderful person and any company is/would be extremely lucky to have you work for them. Focus on your family, friends and job. Leave all the other "junk" out of your mind and heart. We are so proud of you, Andrea! We will pray about the job with Ikea. (Vivian prayed for Aunt Andrea today. "Thank you for Aunt Andrea in Utah" at lunch today.) We love you, Andrea! Tina, Adam and Kids
I don't know you, but I like you. Found your blog on a blog of a blog of a blog. Hang in there. Nice people rule, mean people suck!
Well, you may not be able to find bargains everyday but think of how hip your future home furnishings could potentially be.
