HOWDY GENTS,
unemployment rate out here is 11%. the oregonian is the local paper here and they
may as well not waste the ink because there is nothing out there. they should print
file for unemployment! and save the ink. i have 178 apps out there and nothing.
everytime i have to check in with the employment office wanting a job search all i tell them is take your pick. theres nothing. they just say we know and keep claiming. i talk to a supervisor and they tell me as long as i'm off keep claiming. thats been a year so far. the funny part is they know i have been doing side jobs. and it seems like they don't care. you gotta make buck somewhere. i've went to college and got ad in diesel technology. that took me 6 months to get. it was supposed to be a 2 year course. i suprised the instructor. my wife worked at NAPA with the guy and he's cool.
but thats not how i got my degree. i worked for it. the state picked up the bill on that.
