Went to job club/workshop at Texas Workforce Commission today -- getting depressed, don't think I'm ever going to find a job! I'm either over qualified or have NO SKILLS according to all the rejections I'm getting. I'm going to meet with the counselor again one-on-one Friday. Got to figure out some way to overcome the issue. I don't care if I work at the grocery store!
Ken had an appointment today with the counselor over at the re-entry program. He had some work to do on his resume afterwards, but that seems to be coming together. He told the employment counselor about turning down the job located way out by the airport and the guy told him he should NEVER turn down a job. Well, too bad. For $13.00 an hour it just wasn't worth the wear and tear on the car plus the stress of driving that far every day in the traffic. The idea is to have a job that does NOT kill him or throw him back into the emotional/mental state he was in previously.
I dropped the little bitty doggie stuff off at friend Denise's today. She is going to share them with a friend out in Benbrook he rescued a fur baby who was in a horrible situation. Should weigh between 6 and 10 lbs but weighs only 2 - has stunted growth. So the tiny things her baby and mine wore in the beginning can be worn by the little baby. I'm glad to have those back to Denise.
Ken made it to the bank to deposit money made from the sale this weekend - so that will get sent back to Debbi tomorrow with explanation of the sale. There's still a LOT left and I need to do an inventory, but right now I don't care to ever see it again. Cannot imagine why ANYONE would have bought all that stuff in the first place!!!
I've spotted a 99K (Singer) machine on Craigslist located over on the north side of FW - going to call about it tomorrow. It's onloy $40. For that price I can buy it, tear it down to clean an lube and change the wiring. I've been wanting a 99K. they are a 3/4 machine and easy to carry to quilting bees - so 221 jewel of the herd can be left at home!
Been thinking about opening a shop - a sewing shop of all things. Don't know how to go about it, but sure thinking about it! Heaven knows I have the machines for it. Would be nice to have a place for machines, some fabrics, training room with space for tables, etc. Still tossing that around. It's just that dang space rent is so high, and inventory costs so much. Saw the neatest store down at Granbury...would be nice to have something similar here.
Tomorrow have to make a run to the subcourthouse to drop off Katie Jo's afghan with niece Peggy, mail the gas paperwork to Chesapeake, get copies made of the tax return and get that mailed, and must decide whether or not to run to north side to check on that machine. May check into rental space somewhere, too.
Oh, well, nite nite. Maybe tomorrow I'll do something fabulous...like clean bathrooms.
