I am so mad at myself for getting rid of my blog. There's an opening for a contributor at a local food magazine and they want writing samples. I lost all my samples from college when I was the editor in chief of the newspaper in the fire. I'm not sure what to do. It's such an awesome opportunity.

Is the website totally gone? Not that it's easy, but do you have time to write a sample blog now, or does it have to be published? Good luck!
My boss has a habit of not sharing all the info that is needed on a topic or project and then acts very condescending when you do your job based on what he has told you (which doesn't always include all the info). I want to scream, "Hey buddy! I have been doing this work just as long as you have and know what I am doing, but I can't work up to my potential with half the pertinent information! Either give me all the info, or recognize you have an issue with communication and quit your condescending shit."
I started a new job Monday and got the employee handbook today and they have something they call "stupid taxes" (that's literally the wording in the handbook) and they charge employees different amounts of money for different things (like accidentally setting off the alarm or forgetting to lock the door) and I am just blown away that they would put that in there.

That sounds like a wonderful culture to work in.
When my boss gets mad, he starts ranting about how he has a bunch of idiots working for him. Even though I have never been the cause/target of rants, it really grinds my gears and it one of the main reasons I will leave when I find a better opportunity. I don't need to work in a place where management thinks so little of the staff that they find no issue in belittling their intelligence for making mistakes.
The person I'm training today wants to question everything I say. There is a reason I'm training YOU lady. Just trust me that I'm right about some things.

Ugg, this is 2 of my staff members lately. So irritating!
nextbigthing, Hugs. That is a lot on your plate. I think you will get there, if not this guy, then someone else.
I am freaking out at having to write up my resume. I can't find my old one and I have not had a job in 8 years. I don't even know where to begin and sadly, I can't remember a lot of the particulars of past jobs and timelines. I did serve on K's school board for the past three years, so I guess I can put that down, but gah! I don't know where to start.
I am also looking at slowly going to school and at least getting my associates. I hate that I never finished college and never went for my dreams. I just kind of gave up on myself when things were hard and in classic Cleo fashion, I tend to want to ignore and hide from the bad stuff. :/
Just a lot of random stuff floating around in my head.
