    Default Every day I'm hustlin'

    I'm happy to be steadily employed but as often happens I'm back to the job hunt. I still have the one I've got but I've got room on my plate for a second. In the mean while I'm back to offering services (no, not those services, it's not getting desperate yet :P ) on the side on that armpit of the internet, Craigslist. It's frustrating. Wish me luck guys and gals. It may happen that I find local people looking to offload some cheap second operation work and such that decide they could use a shop-hand.

    Good luck! As of yesterday, I'm also looking for a new employee but you know, it's in Alaska.
    Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.

    Good luck. I too am starting to look for a new job. I still have my old job, but I feel it is time for a change.

    I really enjoy the one I have and I wouldn't give it up unless I had to but there aren't enough hours in it, it does not often make much use of my skills or abilities and only pays what's basically a decent unskilled labor rate. That's a recipe for getting stale sooner or later.

    I'm not looking for a new job, but rather looking forward to retirement.

    I'm not looking for a new job either. I just started the first day of vacation.

    Unfortunately; though I'm only 32 now I don't look like being able to consider retirement til the year 2891 at the rate I'm going.

    Nothing wrong with that......
    Story told about 3 women at a military dinner party...

    Older lady says "My husband, ....is an Admiral...
    Second older lady say, "Well, my husband is a 5 star general.....
    They both looked to the young lady sitting with them....and asked...."What is your husband, Dear....?

    She answered....."My husband is a Lieutenant and he's 32".....

    Don't wish your life away.....

    I have to say I have always managed to keep busy, enjoy my different jobs, looked for advancement when bored, or didn't ejoy it any more.......and did pretty well.
    It worked out for me....and I'm sure it will work out for you as well....
    Good hunting.

    Thanks. I'm a bit better off than I was several years ago and it came up in conversation today that I actually had no clue what the current minimum wage is here and at least that's not a bad sign.
