COLLEGE...WHAT IS THAT?

Well, today has been interesting so far and it's only 11:00 AM. They had opened up a position at work last week for something I very easily could have done but the requirements were 1-3 years experience (which I have) and a Bachelors degree. Really? A Bachelors degree, to do what...you don't go to college for real life experience you go to college to learn then get a piece of paper saying this is what you've learned and how long you have been learning for. I don't get it. I don't think that a degree is necessary for a position like this I think experience is worth much more. Ex specially in this type of environment. They aren't going to teach you how to be nice to people, how to pick out giveaways and how to make a lane set up and lot designation at college. Then again, maybe they will I just haven't heard of the University yet. I think that if you walk into a job interview and you have 3 years experience for a job you should get it, but yet you don't, you get beat out by the person who has less experience then you but has a piece of paper with their name on it letting you know their mom and dad paid for them to go to college and party for four years...interesting huh?

My Family = My Life

(from left to right) Me, Liz (my sister), Paula (my Mom) and John (my Dad). This is my family and they are my life. My family has always come first in my life and they always will. My sister is the person in my life that I always go to first, with everything. She pretty much gets me ready for when I need to tell one of my parents. My sister is also the one who gives me the best advice because she has been through a lot, she is smart and she is in the same age range as me so she pretty much knows exactly how I'm feeling. My mom is amazing, I swear she is super woman sometimes, she does it all she is an awesome grandma, a great sister, an amazing friend, a loving wife, a caring mother and a pretty all around wonderful woman. She has always been very understanding and knows how to talk to you or listen when you need her to. My dad, well he is your typical dad. he gets nervous when you drive in the snow, mad when you don't call and he hurts when I hurt. I get a lot of things from my father good and bad. I have his sense of humor which is awesome but I also get his attitude, which isn't so bad but you might want to watch out for it.

When I realized I was no longer a fly...

This is actually the night that the "fly on the wall" comment came into my life. My sister has recently gotten married, again. It's not how it sounds though they were married about a year ago and had a vow re newel this time around with a big party. As corny as what I'm about to say next sounds. This night changed me...I let lose, acted like myself, did what I wanted to do and has a blast and all this was for the first time in a long time. I don't usually get out there a bust a move on the floor or anything, but I did this night (as you can see). This night was the first time I felt 100% comfortable in my own skin for the first time EVER. That's a big deal..to me anyway.

Hello My Name Is...

My name is Kat. I live in NJ, I have my whole life. I work for ADESA NJ. I have a boyfriend named Jay. One sister, Liz. One brother in law, Dan. One niece, Grace. Two amazing parents, John and Paula. I love the beach, my family, my friends, coffee, diners, being in the car, getting dressed up, naps, music and life. For a long time I have been one of those people who does what they are expected to do (not that there is anything wrong with that) but you must admit, it gets boring. I love my job, but would like to experience other things, I love New Jersey but want to see the world and don't get me wrong I love my life but who doesn't want a little adventure here and there. Up until recently I have been, in the words of my Aunt "a fly on the wall" I was a watcher, I would watch other people do things that I wanted to do. And now my 2009 + goal is to be the one who other people are watching, enjoy the small things, try new things, go new places and find out a little bit more about myself on the way...
