Dearest Car Thief, I want to thank you for taking the time out of your busy day, full of B&E’s, to focus on my vehicle. I can’t imagine how full your schedule must be, and for you to choose my little car out of all of the others to put your dirty little hands on?…

Confidence Building – Your Job Search (Day 2)

Pin ItConfidence Building – Your Job Search (Day 1)
The posts I write on successful resume’s and employment have long been my most successful. I know it’s because of our economy and because the search for sustainable employment is long and tedious. Resume formats change frequently; should we have two pages or one, include references, add a cover letter, use all of our experience?…

Little Girl in the Middle
I go to Aunt Nickey’s! Not today babe, today you’re home with daddy. No, I go play. I know you want to play but today you get to stay home with daddy and do fun stuff! No thank you. ——————— The loss of Brian’s job isn’t just affecting us financially. We’re down to one income…
