On-going

Frustrations mount.

The open house at Greener Pastures went very well, with quite a large turn out but no real on the spot buyers for that day. For me, salfishly, it was a good thing as no one put their dibes in on the gelding I am hoping to adopt as soon as I can find a job.

It is becoming very frustration. I have been over a year now without a permanent job and still no takers on my resume. I am so ready to bring home my new horse and start with his re-education and to be delayed by a little thing like no steady income is more than just disappointing.

Anyway, we all keep in trucking. When I finally do get things coming together I will introduce him to "the mice".

Thank you for the interest. I am a Driver by trade. I hold a class 4 licence but have also had experience driving a 5 ton stick shift and a 1 ton pump truck.
I am also an artist, but not the computer kind so that makes it difficult to find work in that area. Still, I did have a job for 6 years as an airbrush artist so you never know what might be out there.
My preveious job with the 1 ton pump truck was closely connected to the construction industry and of course when that started to slow down so did our work and I was laid off. I am hopeful that in the Spring things will pick up enough that I will be hired back but I am certainly not going to just sit back and wait for that possibility.
In the mean time, Social Services is giving me the run around so my EI has been delayed yet again so thank goodness for my art work as that has been bringing in just enough to help me get through.
Also, push came to shove in the matter of adopting my Standardbred. Someone else showed up and was very interested in my guy so it came down to either letting him go to someone else, or coming up with the money to adopt him. Well, I talked it over with my boyfriend (yes! there are still good men out there!) and he said he would put up the adoption fee for my Birthday present and help me with the board if I come up short. So my boy will be coming to his new home next weekend! I will try to get a picture of him on this site as soon as I figure out how to use my new digital camera (another present from my boyfriend).
Anyway, if you hear of anything that might be a good job for me let me know, I would certainly appreciate it.
