deserved the money back. I as an employer pay in except for maybe a
.0006 percent contribution by the employee, which amounts to about
25 bucks a year. Did you ever watch who parks in the handicapped
parking places. Most of them are a bunch of fakers just like a lot
of the people on the government dole, and the ones that really need
the help don't get it.

Since it looked like as much or more work to get an extension at
the end of my 6 months of U/C checks , I started a handyman business
. Not doing so well , as everyone else is as broke as I am , but I'm
tryin' . And my wife absolutely LOVES comin' home from work to the
aroma of dinner on the stove (or grill ...) .
Now that the weather has warmed up some , I'm getting more calls
, but it's still pretty slim pickin's . Looks like I'll have plenty
of time for he garden again this year...


Almost everyone I have ever hired has been a walk in or by reference
from someone I know. I have a bunch of projects sitting, waiting to
get done but I don't have the time to micro supervise someone that
can't think on his own two feet. I hired one person about two
months ago who was out of work. Very good person with good work
ethics. He is that good that I gave him a big raise beginning next
month. I don't want to loose a good worker.

If I were looking for handyman work I would try the smaller commercial
businesses.

I'm hooked up with a property mgmt co. and a couple of hardware stores .
This time of year has always been kinda rough for small business
repair/handyman types in this area .

Learning keeps
you young !

Go to www.vrbo.com It is a vacation rental system that we list our houses
with. Contact people in your area directly about doing on call repairs for
them. I have always thought that would be a good gig. We have a couple
that live on site that we're very pleased with. Before getting them, it was
Russian roulette getting a good repair person.

And don't come whining if you get busier than you want to be. They are
always looking for a dependable reliable affordable sober repair guy.

Yer welcome.
