ravena_kadeYesterday I was doing the on line job hunt thing...gee, how was it done before the internet? I decided to google the senior center to see if they had any other jobs posted. The google search came up with the exact job I applied to back in November on a site called Geebo, but it was posted 4 days ago. I tried to apply there, but did not get a confirmation. I also reached out to the woman I interviewed with on Indeed. Maybe I should not have done that, but I did. Maybe they thought I would have had a job by now. Maybe it was a scam. Maybe she didn't want to tell me I wasn't a good fit. I don't know, but I reached out anyway.
I also had a phone screening for a job in town that was for a billing revenue specialist for a financial company. Sounds like you have accounts and you make sure that they pay you and you find out their needs. The HR person who spoke to me was in Ohio. She sounded so pretentious...like it would be an hour for me to pledge my loyalty to them... For F's sake it's an office job. That and I don't think any of these people even read my resume.
Today started off upsetting. I went down stairs to do Dad's vitals and he was very confused. Very. I asked him not to go to work. He refused. He couldn't remember why he took all his pills. I made him breakfast and made his lunch. I delayed him a bit. He seemed okay. Im not sure what do to with this. I can ask for cognitive tests. I know some people loose it at 81. I know that there are days I don't know what day it is because of the covid lockdown and working remote.... this staying at home isn't great for me either... but now I have something else to worry about.
I also wonder just how I can take a corporate job when I am so unsure about Dad. Part of me thinks I should just get a market job or something, but then I may have to sleep in my cellar and rent my apartment.
Edit : We think he had gotten all out of sorts because he got out of bed too fast and that messed up his BP that caused the confusion. I have called him a few times... to his annoyance, but things seem okay. I made a DR appointment for a wellness check next week.
