Gotta pack my stuff and head out to work. Wishing you a good day. Stay warm, and stay motivated.

18. Good morning AirmensMom!
Nice to see you, and yes, I've got plenty to share, and with the three of us, the conversation will be most engaging.

As you can see, I'm hard at work again! :sarcasm: And they think I come in early to do work. :rofl:

8. LOL
that is what I would love to do. But I can't as the library has to stay open and it wouldn't look good on my resumee "Just left because she wasn't in the mood to work and locked the library" :rofl:

I'm getting over my un-mood slowly now.

12. Depends who will hire you
If my business keeps growing I'll hire you and if I see that ("Just left because she wasn't in the mood to work and locked the library") I'll think, "sounds like something I would do" and it would be a plus for you as I only want to hire like minded people.

Edited on Wed Jan-24-07 09:09 AM by DaveTheWave
Start learning AutoCAD and by summer I'll have a ton of work for you. Start pay would be $17.00 an hour up to $19.00 an hour and with a $25.00 a week allowance for health insurance or gas or whatever.

I buy my own health insurance through a major carrier and it only costs me $22.00 a week.

21. It's computer drafting and is linked to nearly....
...every trade around the world. "AutoCAD" is just a brand name and industry term as it's the most dominant application used world-wide. It would take someone about three weeks of training to get familiar and proficient with the application then about six months, for some as little as three, to learn how to apply it to your job with minimal supervision or help. It took me three months to work entirely on my own without running into any problems.
Anyone who has at least three months experience and is dependable and trustworthy I'll pay $17.00 an hour and once they can do things on their own I'll pay them $19.00 an hour which isn't great but it's all I can afford to pay someone.
Recently I offered a position to someone I know with very little experience, only making $16.00 and hour and they wanted me to pay them what I pay myself so I told them to go work for themself as I do.

23. I do computer drafting
Primarily in the surveying and civil engineering trades but I also do drafting for landscaping, HVAC (heating and air conditioning) and electrical.

I have four regular clients who give me steady work and want to give me more, plus I also get referrals from them but until I can find someone reliable and reasonable, I have to keep turning the extra work down.

But it is more fun to have company of DU friends than of dead over intelligent people. I would feel rather small in the company of them.

And how are you able to read her book without throwing up???

30. I had a customer this afternoon
but she didn't need much, just a book I got her. Then she read peacefully and quiet. Our library is rather quiet, too specific I guess. Goethe and literature 1750 - 1850. Who is interested in that???

And I've forgotten nearly all my German. It really is true -- use it or lose it.

Of course, I'm good at doing that anyway.
