Do You Ever Feel Invisible?

Clearly, I'm not, I'm around, I can be seen, but no one takes you seriously? Or cares enough to respond. Not so much IRL, except for Larry but that' s just the way he is, but on message boards and internet groups. Sometimes I feel like my posts go ignored....why? I'm not a bad person, and I try to respond to others for the most part. Even posts that I perceive as silly or meaningless or even inane...but I can post on a board I've been active on for over 2 years, have had people over my house, have been to theirs, had outings with, lno's, went to birthday parties, etc. about my father and get 3 or 4 messages in replies...but a stranger posts, someone who recently joined with some sad sob story, which appears unbelievable and she gets an outpouring of support, people bending over backwards to get her things. I asked for nothing, just some acknowledgement. Another board I asked for some help finding something, no responses. But other people post babble all day long and get responses.

Maybe it's time for me to pull back and concentrate on me and mine and not be so involved in any internet community.

Complaining Sometimes Helps!

Maybe I should have complained earlier on here! Tracy called me this afternoon while I was visiting my dad to tell me that Coury finally contacted her, signed the contracts and wants to bring in two of my candidates for the Portfolio Analyst position to interview this week. Now hopefully they are still available and will be able to interview.

A Long Time

so much has happened in the last month and a half.

I've become an advisor with Lia Sophia jewelry, but it's not going so well. My last 2 shows were cancelled (one due to no one RSVPing and the second one due to weather). Yolanda was supposed to have a catalog show, but something messed up at work and no one ordered. I have two shows scheduled this week. One at Soergel's, it's a Ladies' Night Out and one at Jenise's. So I'm hoping things start picking up. I really need to start bringing in money from this.

Recruiting job has been slow. She's not getting any jobs and the two that she has gotten are unfillable. The company is in transition, she's going to be working full-time for another company and her husband it taking over. Can't say that I'm extremely happy in the direction the company is going in, so I just might not be doing it much longer.

My father was in the hospital all last week becuase of back pain. He has a pinched nerve and now is in a rehab facility and will probably be there a few weeks.

I'll have to come back...have lots to say, but so little time
