People Are Strange - a Lunch Conversation at Work

April 24, 2007 at 7:57 pm by Amanda

I can say that with much confidence seeing that in our senior year in high school, of all the tons of pictures that my friends and I handed in to be a part of the senior video, they put most of ours in while that song was playing. The rest of the people [...]

Job Seekers Beware!

January 23, 2007 at 6:28 pm by Amanda

When I quit working for my previous employer, I had all ready begun the job search. I was unemployed for most of the summer and applied for many jobs during that time. While many of them just simply did not get back to me, which I honestly expected if I wasn’t called in [...]

My Morning

November 13, 2006 at 9:26 pm by Amanda

So this morning was like any normal Monday morning. I forgot the stuff I needed for work on a chair in the Living Room and remembered something I won’t need until I am back in my cube again, which will be after our class ends after Thanksgiving. So anyway, I drive to work [...]

Delaware

October 10, 2006 at 8:49 pm by Amanda

In all my years taking vacations and visiting different states, I never even considered Delaware as a possible place to stop. Now being here for the second week in a row for work, I am beginning to have a much better appreciation for this small state. It is really amazingly beautiful and holds [...]

It’s Been Awhile, How’ve You Been?

September 17, 2006 at 7:28 pm by Amanda

Yeah, getting a new job can really put a damper on your blogging. M&T is great. I mean really really great! The people couldn’t be nicer and the work is fun and interesting. I actually have to start talking on the phones this week so I am a little bit nervous. [...]

Look Out M&T!

August 8, 2006 at 10:34 am by Amanda

On June 15th, I applied on-line to M&T Bank for a Training Specialst position thanks to our good friend Mike Miller (Love You Mike!!). After 3 separate interviews (one downtown at M&T plaza, one at Amherst Center and one phone interview to Delaware) one massive presentation and tons of waiting anxiously for the word, [...]

Hopes Dashed by Scam, AGAIN

July 17, 2006 at 12:19 pm by Amanda

So here I am talking to my Mother in our very hot house (86.7 at the moment) and I get a *BEEP*. I hang up with my Mother and find a woman on the other line telling me she is from Primerica, a member of Citigroup, the largest financial institution in the WORLD! [...]

Decisions……Update

June 7, 2006 at 5:11 pm by Amanda

So I quit and have received mixed reactions at work. My supervisors are surprized, they thought I was doing fine and had no clue that this job was not for me. I’ve had people thanking me for the time I spent with them trying to figure this job out and then I’ve had [...]
