I stopped in at a garage sale today
My neighborhood has a lot of garage sales.
Every Saturday on the way home from work, as I drive through the neighborhood, I stop at a garage sale.
They usually have some pretty good stuff.
Today I got a couple of hack saws for a buck each and a craftsman toolbox for five bucks.
Not too bad. I've done better though.
Oh, I also got a globe, for another buck.
And a job offer. Well, two job offers, actually.
I've gotten a lot of things in garage sales, but that was the first time I ever got a job offer at one.
They offered me a position where I work sixteen hours saturday and sixteen on sunday, and get paid for forty. I also got an offer for manager of a nursing home.
Two job offers in one garage sale.
I think I'll pass.

16 hours straight would be tough! My neighborhood had two garage sales today, but I restrained myself. I need to have one, but putting prices on everything is the one thing keeping me from doing it. I feel like just putting up a sign saying $1 for each item. But we've got some stuff that we could get more. It's just such a pain! I never got a job offer at one, though.
Wow. Well at least you have options if you are ever laid off!
I did get laid off one time.
It took me six hours to find another job.
With your profession, how hard could it be, especially if you have any type of connections at all in nursing.
If I lost my job, I would first go to Unemployment, and then to a place that sounds like fun to work.
