Thanks TW, I feel silly not using my degree, but there simply isn't anything out here for me to do. I could sub (which the Workforce center thinks is OK..hence their denying me any help for schooling), but we wouldn't get by. So I don't know...Id still like to get back in the profession if possible, but we will see about that. After I get some time in here, I can get a local job with the oil companies and make some pretty good money too, no

Job Offer part 2 in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Well I havent posted anything since last week when I got my job offer. Figured I would wait until my physical came and went. And so I sit here with my DOT medical card, meaning I passed. Woke up this morning, went to a place for a drug test, then zipped across town for the DOT physical, which took about a half hour or so. Then ended up doing an

And many of 'em are owner operators, too. Not that this makes any difference as far as the DOT is concerned, but many companies have stricter requirements.Whatever, Zig. If you think you can get it, there's no harm in trying. I just wanted to give you a heads up, it's not as easy as you think, the work is extremely physical (rega

Have you SOLD it?Did you break even, as you SAID you would?Or are you still paying mortgage payments on a house you don't even live in? No we haven't sold the house, we haven't listed it yet. The manager at the park is trying to sell the place as they get people in all the time looking for homes. And

The driver was 5 foot 7 inches and weighed 345 pounds when she applied for employment. She had passed the company's road test and was offered the job contingent on passing the DOT physical examination. And now for the rest of the story: "However, mobility or agility testing documentation was not do

Got a Job Offer today in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Well since we moved out here to western WY, I've looked and applied for teaching jobs. There are very (next to none) few school districts in the area so my teaching opportunities are very limited. I had an interview, but didn't get the job in one district. Thats OK though. I could sub but the pay is less than I need or want (more need), and it would only last unti

Reply to Are you a winner or a loser? in Virtual Communities JoeUser Forums

I don't necessarily agree with the money thing. On many of your points actually, but the fixation with money=winner for sure. Ryan and I suck at money. I know why I suck at managing money. My dad was the "financial guru" of the house, and he passed away before I understood that I needed to have those skills. Now that we're adults and working on this together, we've totally made mistakes in managing our money. The thrill of having REAL jobs negated all logic at first. We'

Reply to Senate Actually Does A Good Thing in Politics JoeUser Forums

I was wondering when / if you were going to post something on this. I didn't really even hear of the issue until about 3 weeks ago and then I listened to the hosts on XM 171, lol. The truckers channel, The Open Road. Learned lots about the program and still could learn even more. While Im not a big union fan, I liked how the Teamsters were making some noise about this issue and that OOIDA got involved. Like they mentioned a few times, OO

Marlins & Nationals Wednesday game in Baseball JoeUser Forums

Just browsing the news and caught an article about Wednesdays Nationals/ Marlins game in Miami. Said there was only about 400 people in attendance but nothing was mentioned as to why. It said it was an afternoon game so that would account for a smaller attendance, but 400 people? Jeesh. Thats sad. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/art

Got to make some friends tonight in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

As you may or may not know, I own a motorcycle. A Honda GL1800 (actually an 05, despite what others may say, lol). Goldwing. I started off riding about 7-8 years ago on a Honda Helix, moved up to a CB100, then a GL1000 Goldwing and finally in 05, my 1800. All that time, I was a member of a Goldwing group called the Gold Wing Road Riders Association. I h

Oh yeah, I was thinking of editing my post. I know it can be difficult, depending on what you are working on. I don't think I could do it for a living or anything...just would be a nice skill to have though. Sort of like woodwork...etc. I helped my dad with lots of home improvement projects when I was younger and into my early 20s. Learned lots of stuff and Im really glad I was able to do all that. I know that the rig with all the gizmo

Entertainment of a birdfeeder in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

When I lived in Fargo, I lived in a garden view place...aka I was half underground. I always wanted to get a birdfeeder and one day I finally broke down and bought one. Basically I bought a cheap plastic kind and it worked. I fed the little buggers most of the time I was there and had to fill up the container about once a day. I hung the feeder from a nail in a su

And it's none of your business where I work, or if I work at all, Ziggy. Feel free to keep asking, though. Well no...I mean, I just find it interesting.

Jeesh, and you go off on me for writing diatribes. Poking around in your blog a bit this morning, Ziggy, I noticed you've deleted TONS of replys on articles I distinctly remember there being some intense debate on, as well as many complete articles themselves. I havent deleted any replies, S

Reply to Do you still have and/or use a VCR? in Gadgets & Electronics JoeUser Forums

Most of my chick flicks were really cheap at WalMart on VHS not so many years ago, so yes, we still use the VCR. I have to tape things for school and such as well, so the VCR comes in handy when I have to transfer something over.

Reply to Are Public Schools best for Kids? in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Ziggy, all of your long-winded explaining does not change the fact that you were not invited to return the following year. Three times now. Marcie was canned at least once as well, doing poorly on her reviews. And while I'm not going to dig through all your old crap to find it, I do believe you had issues with one particular clas
