Yesterday afternoon I had a meeting with this guy from The US Department Of Defense. He had called last week to let me know he was coming in to meet with me because a friend of mine had put me down as a reference. I was a little in shock cuz I have never heard of someone actually coming to meet you in person....phone call yes...but in person....no. So I tried to give the BEST report I could give of her, we went to H.S. and we still keep in touch we went to St. Thomas together the summer before last and she is a cool person all around. I was glad to do it. But you know being a reference like that kinda freaked me out. I mean what if I said something I shouldn't have and then she does't get the job?Will it be all my fault? Maybe something I said? I dunno.... I hope she gets it so I can take all the credit. lol
On a side note about jobs. Doesn't it seem like no matter where you work, no matter what you do...there is that one coworker that makes you want to draw back and smack the SHIT out of him/her? Well let me tell you yesterday was one of those days FOR REAL FOR REAL! You know I'm trying to not let situations get the best of me but DAMN! I can't stand slackers. I can't stand when your slacking and I have to make up for your slacking. It burns my buns.
Let me stop talking about this now before my headache comes back.

lol I had a friend who was interviewing for a position and the FBI came to our job....GOOD LAWD! It was nervewracking! Thank goodness I didn't have anything to hide hehehe
I've just had phone calls for the reference thing. meeting in person must be sort of nerveracking. like your friend is trying to get the job but its you getting interviewed, lol
I was a reference for someone before and I didn't even know her job title. She didn't get the job...shhh don't tell her it was me that screwed it up.
I got an email this morning marked urgent that was forwarded to me from TWO people...who sent it to my boss's boss...who sent it to my boss...who sent it to me...you mean to tell me that none of yall mf's on this email train could do this shit? And one of the first people was none other than my co-worker...WTF? Its been one of those mornings for me girl. Urgent my a**!
Wow! That's a first, however, the job doesn't exactly sound like she is going to be flippin burgers and grillin hot dogs. Kudos to you for holding it down. You should take alot of pride in the fact that your friend considered you for such a noble task, she obviously saw you as the one who would get the job done...Keep me posted on the outcome. My fingers are crossed. Also two snaps for you not beating a bitch down!
We are Virgo's and it takes alot to get us there....
Holla on the blog I left something there for you...
yeah we need a "national slap the shit outta my co-worker day" LOL
LMAO @ It burns my buns.
HANG IN THERE GIRL!
She must think very highly of you and figured her background was in good hands to put you down as a reference. Good honor dear. I think you did well. I'm assuming that she didn't give you a heads up about putting you down as a reference.
You're right. You will never escape that one coworker that you feel you need to simply get medieval on! * smile *
I've done the over the phone reference before, but never in person. That would make me nervous as hell.
I hear you. Unfortunately I am a lowly temp and have no recourse but I strongly recommend using e-mail to aid your cause. Nobody can deny e-mail. And the accidental "reply all" is always a nice touch.
