Ha Ha Ha.
Maybe not "big bucks", but much more comfortable than the job I'm doing right now.
And if I wanted to have a job with a big ego, I would rather have gone to college, straight out of high school, and became a doctor.
Aside from punk-lawyers, I could've put people in their place quite fast.
Patient-"You suck."
Myself, if doctor-"No prescription for you dipwad!!"
Oh, and I spoke with Robertson's Transport today.
I told them about the accident and they said that as long as there were no points on my H6, that they would be able to train/hire me.
Since I still don't have any points, it looks like there's still hope for me after all.
The job is also local, and shift-work.
A plus and a minus, but I'll still be able to shuffle in a college class, or two and not have to resort to Socialist-Aid. |

| Just curious...did you ever find a job? My husband rolled his truck after he hit the mud on a rain soaked median and tried to bring the truck back onto the highway. Rookie mistake but it cost him his job, his confidence and his career. He did pest control for a while till the company went belly up, now he is back calling trucking companies and seeing if one will hire him. Some mistakes just can't be forgiven it seems. Trucking is such an dangerous job, with absolutely no room for error. The companies expect so much out of their drivers, but there is no second chances! |

Well, I stumbled onto a host of local companies, some of them posted on an EDD website.
I tried out this team-operation in Van Nuys, but the first-seaters they had available were all ex-cons for the most part, drug-abusers at that, so I left after a week.
I'm going to continue looking into a few other companies I spotted while I also try and get my old, security posting back.
If anything, I'll probably have to go to school and get a degree of some sort.
Best part of that is I could always seek out part-time work that pays $20,000-30,000/year, just for having a piece of paper. |
