Finally! Gots me a Job!
After 9 YEARS of being told either "You are Overeduacted" or "You are Under Qualified" (or both ) I finally got a conditional job offer.
The condition is that I go to school for 10 weeks (paid) and pass a Physical (no problem).
The other condition is that I move out of Chicagoland and back to Wyoming (yay!)
BUT... that means I gotta get some scratch. SO, I gots stuff to sell over in Classifieds.
C'mon & help a guy get out of Emperor Dayley's Obamaland eh?

Moving to Wyoming! You lucky dog. I stayed in Afton for about four months and I loved the country. Couldn't hunt though, only a visitor and the wrong season.

Re: Finally! Gots me a Job!
Well, if you have to learn the ropes of how a prison works, it's probably better to do in Wyoming than in Illianois or whatever.
You would think thay Wyoming would not be as crowded or have the institutionalized gang cultures as the large urban areas.

Re: Finally! Gots me a Job!
OI,
Congratulations on the position. Glad you got it. I'm not jealous at all, cos once you get there you can be my eyes and scope out some houses and things for us.
I'll miss the IN get togethers though.
