Got a job

We got a job!

Well, Tanya got a job so I guess I can say we got a job--and in the southern California depression job market this rates at least a relieved cheer! ('Cause if you didn't know--nobody's hiring!)

I'm putting this news on my Ahimsaland blog because I am profoundly grateful to chance, fate, luck, karma, Fortune or the Cosmic Scorekeeper and Tanya--whoever or whatever!

It looks like we'll have our computer, our telephone connection for these blogs and our apartment for a while longer--we will not be homeless--and please San Martin Caballero or whoever is in charge of economics--please help end the landlord's greed and help ALL the homeless.

Work with good pay for everybody, please.

Very nice shot- the clouds are so huge and swirly- and wonderful to hear you've found employ- money coming in is indeed a great thing- indeed a calming effect.

You said it. ($)

Being a volunteer is good too because you can try new things at a very basic level--but it is nice when professionals are paid for their work!

We have made a few friends in the short time we have lived here but two of our new friends have lost their jobs--one was a music teacher in a Christian elementary school for 16 years and the other was one of the first people we met in Escondido--the secretary-clerk at a self-storage place where we stored our stuff until we could find an apartment--she had also been there for years.

Both of them were fired without warning and without compensation for all their years of work--just OUT.

Shops have old "NOW HIRING" signs in their windows but they lie--they are not.

Good workers are being fired left and right--it is not pleasant even for an optimist.

Yes, sometimes the clouds cooperate nicely when I have a camera in my hands.

Thanks for your comment TW
