Well, here I go again...

Well wish me luck, I have an interview at Wal-mart today. Only part-time, but a foot in the door.

Another week in a life...

Well, it's another glorious, God given week. I am hoping for some luck in job seeking this week, as I'm really tired of staying home and being "Mr. Mom". It was kind of fun the first few weeks, not having to get up at 5 AM, but doing it anyway to spend the morning with my wife before she left for work. But, now it's getting boring. I don't mind the cleaning and cooking, it's the tedious time that comes with it. I guess I will start walking the track at OR every day instead of just every other day.

Change of plans

Well, I didn't like the way my boyz did Thursday night. So, I will play my Tau army. It will surprise many of the others. We'll see.

TN Tussle

Well, Saturday the 21, is the TN Tussle, a wargammers tourney in Knoxville. I am entering my boyz ( That's Orks for you non-gammers) and hoping to win the best general award. We will see.

New stimulus plan

Well, here it is...
What do you think?

OK?

Well, one for the books. Use steroids, but don't get implants.

Again

Well, another week ends in disappointment. Another email (see Cowards?) telling me that I don't have what they need for a job answering telephones. But, I will go on and will find a job!

My Special Valentine

As Feb. 14 comes to a close, let me share my thoughts... no, my feelings about my special Valentine.

She is everthing to me. She is my strength, my hopes, my soul mate. 25 years we have shared this world together, through good times and bad. She has been behind me, supporting me, pushing me, and most of all loving me, the whole way. She has raised our children and worked fulltime, putting in hours of overtime...

Let me just say, that I will never be able to repay her, as I know that my undying love will never be enough. I thank God every day for her. I love her, my wife, Donna.

Cowards?

Have we become a country of cowards? I have been working for 29 years, and I have been to a lot of job interviews, but it's only been recently that I have started to get rejections thru the mail or emails. No one has been upfront enough to just tell me face to face that I'm not qualified for, or too old for, or even over qualified for a job. No! They send you a letter in the mail, or an email. Not even a phone call! They don't want you to confront them, or tell the real reason ( I mean lie to you ) to your face. Just be honest and tell me, I don't want to wait for a letter or email with the lies of why your not going to hire me.

February

Well, the groundhog saw or didn't see his/her shadow (depending on which one you want to believe), so we will or won't have a longer winter. Still no job... it's looking like I might have to go back into restaurant work again. Still I hope to hear from the Census for about 10 weeks worth of work by March. My friend says they are laying off at work again, Obama better get it in gear soon, or we are going into deep trouble.
