I have been perusing applications, background checks, and conversing with possible caregivers for Austin all day long. I am tired.
Starting off we have a sassy black lady in her 50's that, after both times of offering up a day and time for an interview, has not even acknowledged it but instead told me when SHE would be "willing" to be interviewed. A word to the wise: if you need a job you should probably learn how to take instructions or at least make it seem like you can follow an order and that you're not totally stubborn and pig-headed. Just...ugh.
Second, I have a woman who isn't even self-sufficient enough to figure out what bus runs by the Starbucks that I'll be interviewing her at. Joy. How are you going to handle this job if you can't even figure out where to get simple information from? C'mon.
Third, and almost even sadder, I have a chick who is 7 months pregnant who is absolutely, hands down, THE most qualified person for this job. Also, she's she's 22 years old. If her resume is to be believed, anyway.
I guess the easy part is over. I have a few other people I'll be interviewing that don't really stand out to me at all. Maybe that's a good thing. Lol
If everyone shows up I will be at Starbucks for 7 straight hours this Sunday. Whoo! How exciting is that?
Other than this I have nothing really going on in my life. My life has been consumed with menial household labor. Until I hire a caregiver it will continue to be. I was never meant to be a housewife. I know this now.
I'm slow, I know, but what is all this interviewing about?
ReplyDeleteFor my oldest son, Austin. He needs a caregiver. I'm not sure if you know this or not but he's severely brain-damaged from a car accident we were in 5 years ago. He's got a great disposition, but he rarely says anything more than "hey". He's in a wheelchair, in diapers, and fed through a tube in his stomach. He also has seizures.
ReplyDeleteSo being that I had to fire one of my best friends from this job a few months ago, I need to find someone else to fill the position. Just trying to interview and weed out the potential psychotics, you know what I mean? lol
And you're not slow. You just didn't have all the information. :)
