Well, I think I am looking for a job... bleh.

A part-time job. That pays really well. With flexible hours. Doing something super cool and interesting. I'm not having much luck. Are you surprised?

I started this blog yesterday, but got stuck filling out a fourteen page job application. Yikes! You'd think they ought to hire me for my dedication and stick-to-it-ive-ness just for completing the darn thing. It's for a part-time clerical job at the Tech school not even some top secret security clearance government undercover gig. Although, for a top secret job you should just give them your name and let them figure out the rest. Here I am in my job search... What a pain in the butt!

I am thinking what I should do is just walk into a couple of little local shops and tell them they need me. No more multi-page applications, custom cover letters, well-written resumes, or hours of searching. Just a handshake and "when can you start?". Those were the days.

So its a race weekend for us. Joe and I are heading to Spokane this morning and Kate and Jim are staying home. They get to go to the Mariner's game tomorrow while Joe and I hand out papers and schmooze at the track. Think I'd rather go to the baseball game except for a a couple of things. FIRST--the neighbor is fertilizing his fields today and it smells ungodly!!! If you haven't experienced Ferndale's finest cow-crap-nitrogen-dead-fish fertilizer, you're really missing out. It is like a combination of decomposing bodies, 6,000 cows crammed into a closed barn in August, and that nasty pile of Pampers at the bottom of a two-week old garbage can. GAG-O-MATIC!

I will also enjoy the Spokane trip because we are going to stay with my favorite aunt Debbie! It is always a blast to spend time with the James gang :) I'll get some pics of the crew and blog when we get back.

Gotta get movin'. Everyone have an awesome weekend!
