Wind and rain here, but that was about it.

Hey Ken, do you have any contacts that maybe you could help me network with, to remove metal, etc?

To compensate for my drive, etc it'd need to be something like 500+ lbs of old fridges, wiring, etc.

Maybe old abandoned cars?

Sorry man. The high price of metal in the last couple of years has pretty much wiped this part of the state out. We even sold a couple thousand dollars worth ourselves.

After realizing that Kelly Temp Services was giving me a long, expensive runaround to just ATTEMPT to get a job through them, at TMMK, I cut my losses.

It would've been 2-3 more months and about $250 in fuel to make the trip to Georgetown to do different assessments, etc.

Not gonna deal with that and possibly fail out and lose even more time/money.

So I applied to Amazon in Winchester. Pay seemed decent, and the job would be fulltime (Haven't worked a 9-5 fulltime job in a long time).

Today I scheduled my appointment for an interview.

*********************************************

This is a Plan A, that'll give me work and if things work out, allow me to move to Morehead (Shaves a literal hour/ 45 miles of driving each way) and puts me in a city I actually like.

Plan B is to go on and take the placement assessment for the Millwright's Union in Ashland, in Sept. and if that works out...Cool. Moving up to a better job, payscale, etc.

If I don't pass it and have to wait an additional 3 months to re-take the assessment, then I still have my job at Amazon, and hopefully be moved, etc by December.

Cross your fingers guys. I'm trying as hard as a broke guy can.
