Still looking

  Hello everyone,

  Been an absolutely busy couple weeks.  Always hoping to post more often and create more videos, but I am still job hunting.  There are jobs available and with President Obama's promise that more veterans will be hired through tax credits and tax cuts for companies that hire us, I am assured a job...somewhere and sometime.

  The weather has finally begun to cooperate and we are doing some home maintenance ( starting with washing our immense bay windows ), but ahhh, to let the sunshine in is such a good feeling.

   After our vacation and return, it snowed or sleeted or hailed and rained nearly every day until about 3 days ago.

   I still have about 3 weeks of vacation and will continue job hunting and visiting friends locally as I am able.

   Hope your weekends were great.

   Until next time.

Jobs...America needs them, but who has them?

    It was obvious awhile back, that companies were tightening their belts and laying folks off by the thousands. Not only the huge faceless corporations, but smaller companies too.  We need jobs, but who has them?  I can think of nearly 11 million jobs in the U.S.....but, alas, they are taken and most Americans would opt to do anything else other than pick fruit or do janatorial work.  Just saying...there are jobs out there.  Instead of borrowing more money, to try and create jobs for a select few, or find ways to allow corporations to squeeze past tax laws...yet again, we should really see what other options are on the table.  I can think of several thousand jobs that would be created....just by telling companies in the U.S. that their service reps will be in the U.S., and their 24/7 techs, will be in the U.S.  Nothing has been more aggravating to me than calling a 1-800 number for tech support, and having someone on the other end of the line, who is thousands of miles from me and can barely string 3 words together without me asking for them to "say that again".   America needs to take ownership of itself.  The jobs are out there.....but with seemingly endless unemployment or welfare, who's looking?
