Today was a very interesting day...to say the least. I walked down the street on my way to the train when a lady approached me. I am not really a morning person but I refuse to give someone so nice the cold shoulder at 8 am. She mentioned that I was very brave to wear my shoes. ( I was wearing simple black shoes for work) She told me that I should be aware of the rule--bring your uggs to work to put under my desk & switch when I got there) Well I guess I am only used to the high heels at night-- switch into flats 4 hours later rule. She was very nice and ironically a Psychology major in her undergrad. I am very grateful that she introduced me to this rule--thank you kind Chicagoan!
Something that really gets underneath my skin is the people who sell the street wise magazines-- I don't mind that they are selling them--I don't even know what types of articles or information is inside of them~But at 8:30 I cannot stand the street wise jingles that people come up with! It's just a pet peeve that I needed to share--not very important
Anyways-Today I screened different resumes. I was looking for potential medical assistant candidates. I basically needed to weed out who was qualified and who was not. If there were any gaps open in resumes--how long a candidate worked at a certain location--I called to verify and if I felt they were a good candidate, it is my job to bring them in. This can be tricky because some applicants live far away from my work. What I do at my work is what in the I/O work is called continuous hiring. I constantly am looking for qualified applicants--even if a position is filled. I keep finding the best candidates, in case someone gets hired and they decide they dont want the position for some reason down the line, I still have qualified back ups.
While I was working, Santa decided to visit me. I was very..confused. Santa brought me a turkey for Christmas...I don't recall putting that on my list Santa, but it is the thought that counts! Sometimes I think I am secretly in a reality TV show--I believe the most amusing things honestly happen right beside your desk or cubical....
At the end of my long day I worked out and went to meet up with my friends at a local Mexican restaurant. It feels good to chat with people who have the same passions and aspirations as me! I can't wait until we are all in the real world and discussing our jobs. I love talking about I/O and research. We even came up with a very good research idea at dinner~ nerdy i know..but love nerds! One day they could be your BOSS!
That is all for tonight--I have a big day of interviewing tomorrow! Stay classy
