I'll Be Homeless on 08/25/2010

You are in my prayers. I will pray that you can get the job soon and then be able to get a place again. Take care my friend.

Hoosier, you may have said it...but I can't find it. What is your skill set? What did you do for a living?

[hoosierarcher]

I've been a chef(and every other restaurant position), concert and night club security, Marine(sniper), shipping and receiving manager, a interior house painter, a janitor, sales clerk, cashier. I've published poems and short stories and "how to" articles in magazines and anthologies,been a landscaper, newspaper delivery(to the paper boys) and a farm hand. I've also been a substitute teacher and am a fair hand at teaching people how to work with computers or doing anything I know how to do. I've also been a better than average babysitter.

Sorry to hear that bud, I know nursing homes are always hiring though if you don't mind the dirty part of the job. They usually start at 10 or so an hour if not your not a certified aide, but it's a good start. Some places will even train/certify you.

If you have any interest in Middle Tennessee you can send me your resume. I have no problem helping a fellow Marine. I work as a Software Specialist for Nissan. The plant I work at is gonna hire around 20 something people to work the assembly line. If you have any experience with SQL, C++, Cimplicity or PLC's then I might be able to get you a interview with my department. Also I have a buddy how owns a electrical company in GA if you know that trade. Matter of fact just PM if your interested and we can discuss details. I won't be around the net till Monday night but let me know either way.

I GOT THE JOB I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT!!!!!!
I got an experience based initial salary bump. Full benefits.
Now I just need to find a place of my own. One down, one to go.

There is employee copay (about $60/check) on the benefits BUT there are benefits.
Looked at an apartment, not great but it is a place to live. I'd like something nicer(it falls just short of what I call a decent place to live.) I'll keep looking.

[Sourdough]

Congratulations............wow some relief.

[hoosierarcher]

Well this is the type of job that once you're in you can count on having it as long as you like. Barring a major screw up and I don't do those........usually. My cousin, who helped me get this job has worked there since she was 19, I think, and she is older than me so over 30 years without many complaints by her. Oh I forgot to tell you what the job is.... Hospital Food Service. I play me cards right and I'll be made responsible for all the hospital's outside catering. Even if that doesn't happen I'll be making a living wage with a schedule that will allow me to make more money other ways.

Great news Curtis, I'm happy for you. If you get down this way I'll buy you a celebratory beer (or two)

Where exactly is "down this way?" Now that I am employed I will most likely spend an occasional day off in Evansville. At leat I did when I was fully employed before.

[aflineman]

Congratulations! This is truly excellent news!

[pgvoutdoors]

Good for you, I'm happy to hear your luck is turning for the better. Stay strong and you'll work out the other problems in no time.

[hoosierarcher]

Thanks pgv
