Well, as I was getting everything done to simplify my settling here (like moving my stuff from NY before I take just any old job), I switched my driver's license to my new address (so that it would look consistent on my applications as a truck driver). That also gave me a time frame to work on shifting my car's registration (as I have now ( Read more... )

Well for the last couple of weeks things have been slow in the High tech industry with not that many new openings for me to apply to (and never hear back from, so what difference does it make). So, I have started applying for other jobs like driving cement trucks. I saw two ads for the them in the local papers and filled out an application for ( Read more... )

For the last week I have been suffereing from the bug that seems to going around (here in Oregon as well as in New York assuming it is the same bug). However, I seem to be getting better ever so slowly. It will be so nice to be well ( Read more... )

Yesterday was an interesting day. It started out with a chilly morning where my car had frost on its windows. However, as I opened up my car on the passengers side to get my scraper, I saw that there was glass on the driver's seat. Yikes! There was a big hole in the driver's side window. Geez ( Read more... )

Well this has been a leveling out week. Looking for work in these times promises to be a long process, but I am pretty settled into the drill. I figure that after a couple of months I will look into other possibilities like hourly computer help (hardware or software for people with home PC's) or as handyman. Just keeping me busy and meeting ( Read more... )

This morning I had an interview at 8AM. Achh! I have pretty much adapted to getting to bed shortly after midnight and getting up shortly after 8AM, so getting up at 6:20AM was a shock. However, the interview was with a technical recruiter and I think it went fairly well ( Read more... )
