Headed Back To Texas

[Squidley]

Well it's time....

Lonna and I are going to be headed back south to home as I have a job interview of sorts in Blanco. My Dad is getting along well, but I really need to pursue this opportunity as they are only taking apps until mid next week. So early Monday morning we are heading out of Michigan and down south. I hate to leave my Dad here by himself, but he's on my arse to apply for this job and hopefully get our lives back on track....wish us luck :happy34:

[Venturous]

I wish you and Lonna the best Squid and am glad your dad is doing better. You know you have a bunch of prayers and well wishes going for you.

You guys be careful. I was talking to Lonna I think you guys are just cramping his style and something about looking forward to visiting and riding a Harley.
I'll keep ya in thoughts, prayers, and whatever else it takes. Good luck on the job.

Hope it works out with the interview. If it does, you have to promise not to wear out all the pavement in the area before I get back there.

[Squidley]

Gonna make the 400 mile run back to the house in Houston tomorrow morning and Wednesday morning leave to go to Blanco and interview @ 1:30....I'll let y'all know how it goes and thanks for all the good vibes :happy34:

[Dano]

[Aussie Annie]

Geez, this waiting is driving me nuts!!! And all of you will know way before me :bawling:can't stand it.
Sure hope he gets the job :sign yeah that:

[Squidley]

Wanted to post an update....

Went to Blanco yesterday and had the interview, interesting place and I would have loved to be in Blanco. $12 hr was the starting wage :yikes: I had to laugh to myself as this is for a skilled position dealing with fabrication and sheet metal bending. He mentioned to me about a high turnover rate, and I thought to myself DUH! folks can make more than that working at Walmarts.

Needless to say I didn't accept the job, at 43 years old I'm not going to drop my wage standards with 25 years of experience to $12 hr. Unfortunately it is a employers market right now and there isn't very much that I can do about that. So onward to the next prospect and either I'll find work or die trying :confused24:

[dingy]

Sorry Squidley.

Same thing as around here, they want to pay entry level wages for decades of experience.

:crying: :backinmyday: :bang head:

Gary

[Riderduke]

$12.00/hr....... Heck I pay that for 18/yo unskilled laborers just to clean-up the jobsite, be a gofer and other misc tasks. I don't blame you for not wanting to take it. There is a job with your name on it out there. You just gotta find it! And i know you will.:happy65:

[Snaggletooth]

Ouch! $12.00 bucks an hour.....Geesh! Sorry to hear that. Hang in there Brad.

[Carbon_One]

Too bad about the job pay Brad. Unfortunately this seems to be the norm any more with companies. Yet they wonder why the turn over rate is so high. Give a man a decent wage and he'll stick around. As has been said hang in there and eventually you
'll find that job with your name on it.
