Job interview on Thursday

It’s a more product specific support than I usually do but with 20 years of picking up new systems it shouldn’t be that much of a problem.

If you have a spare prayer, I’ll certainly take it and if possible throw one toward my nephew too, he is off to Minnesota for an interview this week and his situation is rougher than mine.

My congratulations to Jim Treacher Sean Medlock for getting a Gig with Tucker Carlson’s new web site.

This is going to sound weird, but Tucker Carlson has just hired me to blog for his new “web-site,” which is found at the “U-R-L” http://dailycaller.com. I know! I know. I’m not sure I get it either. But it looks like I’m moving to Washington, DC as soon as I can get the truck loaded up.

He deserves it and the fact that Tucker grabbed him shows good sense, but I must confess given my situation I’m extremely jealous.

In case Tucker is still looking for guys for the Daily Caller, I’ll remind him that I’d be happy to work for him for $800 a week, if he only wants a part time guy I’d be willing to go part time for $540 a week.

Hey can’t hurt to ask.

One down three to go

I’m pleased to announce that my pal Dave just was hired today and will be starting a new position just after the first of the year.

That leaves Myself and my pal Roger as still unemployed in the computer field, and my Nephew Dominic outside of the tech field as still searching.

Lets hope that it doesn’t take much longer for the rest of us.

How bad are times around here?

Times are so hard that when I went to the supermarket I was able to find package after package of chicken feet and claws, but not a single package of boneless chicken breasts.

With people hard up more and more of the cheaper cuts are being carried in larger and larger quantities, anything to stretch a dollar.

Of course part of it is the change in demographics, as little as 5-7 years ago it would have been almost impossible to find chicken feet and claws in this neck of the woods outside a specialty store.

Oh and if you are wondering why I just didn’t go to Romano’s, they are closed on Mondays. Ironically the breasts I wanted are going to be on special this week there.

Is it important? No but just another little oddity of life.
