A NEW CHAPTER IN MY LIFE?

SO SINCE I GOT OUT OF THE 'TRAINING' WITH THE PLASTERING UNION, WORK HAS CEASED.

I CALLED MY BOSS, HE SAYS THAT WORK WILL BE SLOW UNTIL SEPTEMBER, EVEN AS

FAR AS LAYING OFF SOME LONG-TIME EMPLOYEES AND CUTTING BACK HOURS OF SOME

OFFICE STAFF. SO MY WORRIES HAVE COME TO THE SURFACE!

I NOW NEED TO FIND A NEW JOB.

SO SINCE THE WEEK IS LEADING UP TO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND, I GUESS I WILL COME UP

WITH A FULL-SCALE PLAN OF ATTACK FOR MONDAY!

(SO I WONT EXHAUST MY UNEMPLOYMENT FUNDS!)

THERE ARE SOME LEGIT BUSINESSES HERE IN GLENDORA, SO I AM GOING TO TRY AND

SEE WHAT I CAN FIND TO EASE UP ON THE COMMUTE. I KNOW MOST EMPLOYERS LIKE

SOMEONE LOCALLY TO HIRE FOR DEPENDABILITY, RIGHT?

SO AS FAR AS BUSINESSES I HAVE LOCALLY ARE:

~ARMSTRONG GARDEN CENTERS (HEY! I LIKE GARDENING! SERIOUSLY!)

~HOME DEPOT (I'M PRETTY CLEVER WITH TOOLS, AND I CAN STOCK LIKE A PRO!)

~COSTCO (AGAIN, STOCKING,WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS!)

AS WELL AS A FEW OTHER HOPEFUL ESTABLISHMENTS.

SO NEXT WEEK WILL BE A CHALLENGE TO SAY THE LEAST. WITH THE ECONOMY

SHOWING SLOW SIGNS OF IMPROVING, I HAVE TO KEEP FOCUSED AND POSITIVE!

I WILL LAND A 'TEMPORARY' JOB SOMEWHERE, JUST NOT SURE WHERE AND WHEN.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A SAFE 4TH OF JULY!
