Louisville business & networking

Here I am. I'm now working a temp job. Not sure how long it will last though. And I have to put my little one in daycare :-( hate that. She misses her mommie. And I miss her. So, I'm in a desparate seach for a 3rd shift position. I've applied just about everywhere. And no one is hiring. At least, they aren't responding very quickly to the hundred or so resumes I have sent out. I've tried everything but walking into a place and telling them "hey, I'm your new employee".... would that work? I can't even get this temp job to commit to a certain length of time. I've heard from the agency that th ... more

For my Social Media blog, I occasionally produce episodes of Social Media Explorer TV. For the latest, I had the good fortune of sitting down the Louisville Mojo's own Keith Ringer and Chuck Burke. They talk about their new feature set, which you should start seeing soon, and their white-label social networking solution that will allow businesses to take the engine that runs Mojo and put it to use for them. Check it out: ... more

last week she changed my schedule so i would only be working EIGHT HOURS. eight hours in a week. wtf? and she didn't call me to tell me she changed everything. this week, my schedule's already changed twice, and no one called me. i went in today, and it was all "oh, you don't work today." Really, because when i checked the day before yesterday, i was still on to work. isn't your boss supposed to call you to let you know she changed your schedule? plus she's an asshole to customers and changed her kid in the room i use to do dishes. AND she let her two (overweight) kids run around be ... more

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share an experience With mattress mart at 7917 Shelbyville Road, across Oxmoor mall. I am positive after dealing with this store that they are selling used mattress as new. They will also sell used as closeout, telling you they are New. when ask what a close out means they will say they may be a discontinued model, or maybe a stitch was sewn wrong, but insist they are new. I had one I took back after it stated to sag very badly, they switched it and guess what, it did this too within a week. And guess where the first one is now..ON the sales floor. Oh yes I am ... more

I while ago I posted a thread about P2P lending through Prosper.com, and similar sites. Anybody thinking about that would be well-served spending and hour reading the prospers.org forums, especially this thread, and browsing lendingstats.com and eriscc.com. It appears that a lot of the lenders have lost huge amounts of money since defaults are much higher than Prosper.com advertises. See this and this; within six months of opening, more than 30% of loans were delinquent. Delinquincies and defaults are probably 15-20%. One problem seems to be that prosper.com doesn't have incentive to aggr ... more

After graduating college in spring, I moved to Japan in September 1998. Over the summer, I had signed up as an English teacher with a company called NOVA, which had schools in front of train stations across Japan, after driving to New York for a job interview. NOVA was the largest private English school in Japan, and they shipped over planeloads of teachers from across the world every year. They were the only company I knew of to sponsor a visa and arrange lodging for their teachers, although the other big schools, like AEON and GEOS had many teachers and probably helped facilitate this some ... more

If anyone here knows someone who has sought out a voice for a project, consider me! My commercial and narration demos can be heard at voice123.com/hvyates. Your help is greatly appreciated!

It's upsetting to me that my writing style has changed. I feel that since I've spent so much time at Zappos that my IQ has dropped considerably. Doing something a trained monkey can do tends to do that to you. I sit here, attempting to make sense of it all. Of my life, where I want to be, where I believe will make me the most happy. I realize this isn't going to happen in working under someone else. Working a JOB where I don't feel any self accomplishment is not my idea of a good investment of time. I'm going to become a millionaire. To those of you that laugh, come see me some day, I ... more

I could waste your time and webspace explaining it here but, instead, I will tell you these details so you can get on with your business: I am looking for local 20-somethings, business college students preferred, but at least have an interest in entrepreneurship and cooperative organizations. If you want to read more feel free to contact me or look over my VERY AMATURE website at www.worldbranch.com. Repeat: This is a local project and I am loo ... more

Hey fellow Mojo baby boomers. You know who you are...Those of us born in the post-war boom years of 1946-1964. I have a question for you...and maybe even not all the boomers and boomettes, I'm mostly talking to the older half of the demographic...say the 53-62 year olds, not you lucky kids still in your 40's LOL. The question is simple...Are you as sick of working as I am? Man, it seems like I've been spilling my guts in the workplace for 100 years, although its really only been about 39 years...39 years?? is that all?? Has it only been 39 years since I got my first job as a bagboy at the Kro ... more
