Job Hunting Part Two

Dear Readers,

OK, so that job with Fry's didn't work out because the Union decided not to strike... and uh... other places interviewed me but didn't hire me, and now Home Depot is going to interview me next Tuesday. I might be on the "freight team" which means I could unload trucks, move stuff from the back to the floor, use pallet jacks and forklifts and handtrucks and get all dirty and sweaty and ha ha ha and work with my body, which is good for the soul.

And the schedule should work out to where we won't have to get a babysitter. I can't imagine getting a babysitter for my three-month-old daughter. That would be horrible.

I still might be a teacher forever. I don't really know. I guess it depends on how next semester goes. And it depends on whether or not the administration wants to hire me back. I can understand them not wanting to hire me back next year. And I can also understand me not wanting to go back next year.

I'll tell you, physical labor, that's the kind of work that makes a man feel like a man- not this namby pamby stuff I've been doing at school- standing in circles with middle-schoolers, playing zip zap boink and pretending we're mimes, being all sensitive to little girls' feelings... I might as well be a hair stylist!

Sincerely,
Telemoonfa

I remember asking you how you liked construction work. and you said you didn't like it.
And Construction work is not good for the soul, even though it is completely working with the body.

I had a construction coworker who used to be a teacher. he said it was so emotionally straining, and now he smokes cigarettes and digs ditches.
