Need a Job? Take Out an Ad.
Go ahead, slam me if you want to. I was looking at the classified ads today and normally there are several pages of help wanted ads. There was a page and a half-which is understandable because of the economy. Then there IT was. The "people seeking work" section. THREE columns long. Did I miss something? So now people are too lazy to LOOK for a job? But they can PAY to put an ad in the paper. WTH? Get off your a** and walk the pavement, shoot just call around.
I know for a fact that there are stores hiring for the holidays. Get a job there until after the holidays and find a regular job. You can even still look for a job while working the hours at these stores. I know the economy sucks right now, but get up and get out. Oh wait, I forgot. You can put an ad in the paper and wish like hell that someone reads it and calls YOU. Cuz I know that employers go through the classified ads in the local paper to hire people.

Why?
I drove my kids to school this morning because I still have yet to figure out when the bus comes in the AM.
As I'm driving back, I see a bus stopped to pick up kids. (it's 3 blocks from the school) No joke. Then I almost had a wreck as I see the van in the driveway (where the kids was just picked up) back down the 100 foot driveway and park. I know it was sprinkling. Actually it was more of a mist. But to sit in the car waiting for the bus at the end of your own driveway? Not only that but you only live 3 blocks from school! Just drive the kid to school. You're already up and in the car. What is wrong with this picture?
I remember walking to the end of the neighborhood, whether it was raining or not, and standing in the heat, cold, rain, whatever until the bus showed. Sometimes we got lucky and someone's mom or dad would sit at the bus stop (if it was REALLY cold, or pouring buckets) and let us all pile in their car. But one of us had to stand outside at the stop or the bus would just keep going, they didn't even slow down.
So why oh why are you sleeping in your warm van instead of just taking your kids to school?
