Nothing Yet!

Well here it is another month later and I still haven't found a job. Come on KC Transportation! I have waited long enough and am getting very angry that I haven't heard from you. I'm ready to go there and go "postal" on a certain someone. Looking at maybe trying a different market for my skills since being so experienced it makes me higher paid than "newbies". Nobody wants to pay for experience anymore. It seems that most trucking companies are not hiring anyone from Michigan anymore. What gives? Is this "regional profiling"? Things had better get better quick...I have bills to pay and mouths to feed! Hopefully you and yours are doing well in this environment. Be grateful for what you have and thankful.

Down we go & up we go

Well the Canadian dollar, or loonie as they call it, is now almost at par with the US dollar. It won't be long before it is worth more than our money since they seem to be coming out of the recession sooner than we seem to be. The unemployment rate for my hometown is now 15.3%, which is not very encouraging. I am unlucky enough to be one of those that are unemployed but I have a line on a job but am 3rd on the list. I was 6th about a month ago so I'm optimistic about my chances. Shame on all you employers that do not respond to job seekers! Is it that hard to acknowledge the people that are trying to get hired by your company? I'm looking at some other companies and plan on sending them a resume soon. Unless I hit the Mega Millions jackpot this week. It's 200 million or rather 102.8 cash option. Then it would be hard to decide what I'd be doing with Kathy. Working or retiring. Staying here or going somewhere else. Just have to cross that bridge if we come to it. Lets hope that the good news starts flowing some time before the end of the year. Keep your chin up and smile. Don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff.

Good News Anyone?.....

Does anyone have any good news that they could share? Just a little something that might add some light to this dreary landscape? Please?..!..

It's hard to be cheery when all the bad news keeps flooding in. Please post some good news. Nothing to dramatic. Let me start. HOW DO YOU LIKE MY NEW BEARD?

Another Year and a new President later.....

Anything changed? Economy still in the toilet? Jobs  disappearing faster than George Bush after Obama's oath of office? People losing their homes, jobs, medical care, and sense of humor still the norm? Enough Already! It's starting to look like Lord of the Flies out here. Can't we all just get a break? Come on Congress. Billions to your corrupt bank and finance buddies isn't working. Try a check for say maybe $100,000 to each and every American that is over 18 years of age. That is what would stimulate the economy and get this country back on track. Not this crap of government intervention into more and more of our lives. WE DON'T NEED YOU! Less government would be more prudent during these hard economic times not the hiring blitz that you seem to think. Term Limits need to be put in place on all elected officials. Time to put these old windbags out to pasture. Maybe they can get a job at Wal-Mart as a greeter. We need young minds that are not corrupted by the political machine. A grass roots movement needs to happen all across this great nation.  Less Government not more. Smaller government less taxes. That would be nice right? The only way to get there is to get these old bums out!
