Tea? (Part 2)

[welsh dragon]

Whatever I can get

I,ve worked through very long list of completely unrelated jobs (many of which are unusal and not typical).

Have an of them been interesting?

Most of my "traveling" (which really means moving) has been ...... just because. When I was in my 20's, all my belongings fit into a duffle bag just so I could go wherever I wanted, whenever.

Sounds like you would be good with the surfing community

Any specialist transferable skills, that can get you a job wherever you go. How is the employment market in the USA and Canada. The news over here seems to imply that the USA is struggling once you get away from the glitzy image. The unknown places in the middle of no where seem to be badly hit. I seem to think that Canada didn't get hit by the recession quite so badly.

Whatever "glitzy" you hear about it purely propoganda (I have no idea why). Anything seen on TV is typically in reguards to what we call the 1%ers; the greedy filthy rich that the rest of us could care less about. Most places were hit hard in the US.... all because of those 1 and 2 percenter's and their fake "own your brand new dream home" scheme. I saw it coming and now those same companies are either completely gone or just about, and they took a lot of companies with them when the went bankrupt.
15 years ago , I could walk into just about any place posting Help Wanted and have a job the same day. It isn't like that anymore. I haven't been able to find full time stable decent paying work in 7 years.

That is terrible for you. What about your boyfriend. Does he work?

I suppose so, never surfed, did have an opportunity when I lived in Hawaii, wish I had taken it.... very few visitors ever get to surf the locals water (and trust me, you have to be invited by a local or you could end up in the hospital).
while I grew up on the water it wasn't surf friendly

Oh dear, that confirms what I have seen on the tv about some of those places where you have never heard of in the heartlands. All the factories have closed down and the employment is high and that will then lead to all the associated problems with crime and drugs etc.
I guess any country will promote the positives to the rest of the world and we get to see New York, LA etc which obviouslly contain a fair proportion of the 1%ers.
I hope you can find something decent in the next place you are moving to.

He's a contractor (stone mason) but he hhas major medical problems and can't work like he needs to. I was working for him. It is the main reason I am moving.

 

[welsh dragon]

What a shame. I hope you have better luck. It's Texas your going to isn't It ? Was there any particular reason for moving there or is it a case of just wanting warmer weather?

There were a number of factors in choosing the next place;
1) metropolis for more opportunities (Houston is the 4th largest city in the US)
2) cost of living (Houston is extremely low cost, I thought the rental postings on CL were a joke they were so low.... but really the housing is that cheap )
3) weather, I hate the cold especially when cycling
4)not so far of a drive that it's going to cost more then I have (Houston is just under 1000 miles)
5) relatively flat since I'm so out of shape and will be using the bicycle for my only transportation

Good for you. And of course no fuel bills because of the warmer climate. You will certainly get fit, and you won't have humungous hills either

God knows.

I know as well!!
