Okay, can we shut down? I need to get off my butt.
earldebuke 1:10pm
Okay. We shall shut down.
shadylady 1:10pm

shadylady 1:11pm
-He- wants a job, but can't get hired in his field.
earldebuke 1:12pm
I hear that. Lots of folks even before the Coronavirus were struggling with underemployment even when they got a job
shadylady 1:14pm
Well, we've been through more than one attempt to set him up for success but keep running into things. He was all set to do medical transcriptions in California! 2004-09! ..... and the Recession hit, people stopped going to the doctors......
shadylady 1:15pm
He works for H&R Block but honestly it's not a good fit for him; too much SALES.
shadylady 1:15pm
ANYway.......
robinrahne 1:15pm

catnik 1:16pm

earldebuke 1:16pm

shadylady 1:17pm
I mean.... he's avoided child care costs for us for 14 years, which is HUGE... and he's educated, got the papers for it and all. Experience..... not as much.
earldebuke 1:17pm
Child Care IS huge
earldebuke 1:18pm
As folks are are learning as they have no school or daycare in lock downs
catnik 1:18pm

earldebuke 1:19pm
I still laugh at the "I'm trying to get this kid transferred out of the class I'm teaching at home, sure, he's my SON but... " :)
shadylady 1:20pm
"Homeschooling not going so well; 2 students suspended and 1 teacher fired for drinking on the job......"
earldebuke 1:21pm

So my spiral herb garden is cinderblock. Good 'cause it will hold up to a hurricane (probably). Bad 'cause UGLY.
shadylady 4:42pm

shadylady 4:42pm

shadylady 4:46pm
