Steerpike's Diary
Today I called the the veteran's rep at the unemployment office. He only meets people by appointment and you must call to make an appointment. It has been a couple of hours and he has not called back. No big deal I'll wait.
This morning a moose came up to our front porch and hung around. He charged my son when he ran to the bus.
= new reply since forum marked as read
maybe 7 feet tall
The snowbank in my front yard is over 6 feet
Still no phone call from the VA rep...dude must be swamped! I'll give him a second call tomorrow morning. I'm planning on going to Kelly Services Friday morning. I have got to get back to work and stop loligagging around!
Thanks for the positive vibes!
I want to post a bunch of Alaskan photos. Just so people know it's not all about crazy right wing nut jobs up here!
An older one of my two children...They are still happy and upbeat, nothing seems to phase them.
I still remember the statefair as if it were only yesterday! sigh...
Well I did finally get a call from the VA rep. I have an appointment to see him on Monday morning. I need to bring my resume and DD-214 in on a thumbdrive so he can check it out! Sounds good!
I also signed up a temp agency called Adams & Associates. Hopefully they'll get me some temp work soon!
heres a shot of downtown anchorage at 25 degrees....
nice colors huh?
but taken a couple of months ago!
Bob from LMTV Palmer calls me and wants to know if I want to contribute to his local access station in the Matanuska Valley. The renumeration is 50 percent of whatever spots I can sell for the said program. He said I can have total creative control...it just has to be interesting.
I would love to give something like this a shot, but the drive out to lazy mountain during the winter is very treacherous. So I would have to do any production here in anchorage. I would need access to camera, sound and light set ups.
I need to call him back. He seems like a great guy...but the obvious problems on logistics, money and equipment are daunting. I have plenty of ideas for a show. But, it isn't a job if I wind up out of pocket!

I prefer comic book stuff...but the wildlife stuff is always satisfying.
a very talented young man...hope he is doing well!

I'm starting to work on some more pen and inks, but no hurry...this is an older pencil portrait!
It was used in a chapter heading for an Alaskan Outdoorsbook
I took at a relatives wedding
It is of him as a young man
I fixed this up in photohop for faded colors, blotches and scratches.
and used it for my DU ID thingy...
It's my homage to hourman

The veterens rep gave me some real great tips on how to apply for a state job when I finally met with him. I wound up taking a few "tests" the state sometimes requires if you don't have a degree. I also learned how to write a proper cover letter.
I applied for a state position with Health and Human Services as an Office assistant. To my surprise I was called in for an interview. I thought it all went rather well. Now I have to wait a week to find out if I got the job.
If I get it I will work 7 1/2 hrs a day 5 days a week. Nice benefits and 30 k a year to start. I hope I get it.
The photo above was taken with a Nikon D50. It is of the oldest house downtown.
To all our sadness and dismay he passed away from brain cancer
