Good news

April 9, 2012 in Employment, House and Garden, The Great Outdoors | Permalink

Well we all got some good news at work today.  Seems things are picking up a bit and there will be no more layoffs.  I love the sound of that.  I did have a list of things I was planning on doing around the house like painting the bathroom, installing some mini-blinds in the living room and building a deck out back.

One thing I love about my landlord, she is willing to pay for any materials I need to fix the place up.  Since she told me that, my list got longer.  Looking forward to that deck for sure now.

Getting a roommate

March 25, 2012 in Employment, Family and Friends, House and Garden | Permalink

One of my buddies from the Marine Corps called me last night.  Seems he’s going to move to this area and was wondering if I could use a roommate or knew of somewhere he might find a room for rent.  Talk about perfect timing, well that is.

So far I have been above the lay offs but having a roommate will sure make it easier if or when I end up on that lay off list.  He’s got a job lined up already and that sounds like a win-win situation to me.  Now to make room for him.  The spare bedroom is full of my junk that I haven’t put away yet.  Time to get busy.

Lay offs at work

March 12, 2012 in Employment, Life, Ouch | Permalink

Well this isn’t a very good way to start the week off.  We came in this morning to an announcement that my company is cutting back.  Lay offs will start Friday.  Thank goodness they are starting with the ones that were hired last and working their way up from there.

I think there are enough people that were hired after me to keep me in a job a little longer.  If not, then I guess I’ll have plenty of time to do those home improvement jobs I have been wanting to get to while I look for a new job.  Tough times indeed out there but it’s gonna work out.

Monday again!

I can’t believe the weekend has gone by so darn fast.  I swear it was Friday just a couple of days ago.  Oh yeah, I guess it was.  Well weekends are just too short.  I sure wish someone would change the week days for the weekend days.  I don’t know about you but I sure would enjoy my work week more if it was only 2 days and the weekend was 5 days.

Other countries give their people more time off from work than they do here so why can’t someone figure out that people are happier at work when they feel more appreciated?  Enough of my complaining!

Jobs are good

October 21, 2011 in Employment, Government, News | Permalink

The congress is trying to push through a jobs bill that will help finance new construction projects. The bill marks $60 billion dollars to help rebuild the infrastructure. I think this is a good bill even though the republicans are trying to block it. I hope it goes through.

Republicans say the small tax increase on the wealthy will not be good the economy. I think that the increase is so small that it will make little difference to those who are so fortunate.
