Blog Spam

I hate junk mail. So much. It makes my blood boil, it is so annoying. My email is filled with it, because my thoughtful mother decided that when she wanted to get this free offer online, she would give my email address instead, so she wouldn't be hit with spam. And of course she did not ask my permission, she just did it and then told me about it.

So while it is already annoying dealing with this, today I have the added privilege of of discovering I can also receive spam on my blog. Some jerk responded to my last blog entry with some BS about stocks and his company. It was not appreciated.

Now I have to email the blogger people and find out how I can delete this crap and keep it from happening in the future.

Squeaky Wheel Becomes A Supervisor

I got a call yesterday that left me a little upset. I had referred a friend of mine for a job at my company, and they gave her a placement that pays more than mine. I have been working there for two years at the same rate of pay. So of course that made me upset. My boyfriend said I should call immediately and set up a meeting. I did so, and had my meeting this morning.

It ended up going quite well. I got something even better than a pay raise. The company is going to start me on a training program which will include national certificaton, and training for a guard supervisor position (which means waaaay better money.) The first three stages of training are completed online, and I'm going to be starting those immediately.

So wish me luck. Little bit more hard work, and I might be the boss pretty soon.
