To keep anybody interested updated: I got a job (finally). Its not exactly what I was looking for in electrical but it seems the only job out there. Let Me explain: I have called 30 plus contractors inquiring about a job and most of them said no, but send a resume. SO i did that. The only real offers I got were from a company in bellevue but they work on a commission basis so if I go out and work My butt off all day but do not get any jobs, I'm SOL. PLUS, they don't provide ANY tools. Which is fine and probably normal in the trades to a certain degree. The problem is that the tools I don't have are very expensive and I definitely do not have the money for those right now and I am not going any deeper in debt. Plus I didn't really like the attitude of the whole company....that being make money and sacrifice everything else. I have worked too hard to stay close to Jehovah and my family to take any steps backwards like that. Sos I called them and said no.

The other job, the one I took, is also a commision job BUT they are giving me a 90 day period of hourly pay while I get the system down. So even if it doesn't work out, I will get through a very difficult time of the year for construction (all economy slums put aside). SO At least I will be able to get through that and find something more available if I need to. I am little apprehensive about the commision based deal, but it seems the only people who are doing well these days. Besides, I need to be better at my bidding skills anyways, so that will help. we will see what happens. Sometimes I almost wish I didn't quit Reinhart, but then again we would of made hardly anything and while I would be making something, it wouldn't be much...which is almost as bad and making nothing. SO yeah...I hope it works out. at least for now...

I have this weird feeling that all the resumes I put in will all come back and call me...which is good if I need some other options. Good times I guess
