Pastor Dave's Highlights

[Pastor Dave]

I got half the rabbit pans dumped in the truck bed yesterday. Quit when it got hot. Today I have an interview for part time with TSC tractor supply. I hope to get home and finish the rabbit pans and get in some mowing before it rains. They say our 90deg+ days are done as of yesterday. Today, 85 then rain and cold front. Tomorrow 70degs! I'm ready for the heat to be over.

Good luck with your interview! Hopefully you'll get the part time job and get employees discounts when you buys stuff from TSC.

X2!

Is TSC flexible enough with their PT employees to not step on the needs of your primary job? I've heard that McDonalds is awful about that. Don't pay enough to live on, don't get enough hours anyway and they put out shifting schedules such that you can't get another PT (or 2) job elsewhere since you have no regular schedule at Mc'Ds.

I second the lean to idea. Then you could put away all your "won't use again until spring" in it. Hope you get the PT job at TSC.

Good luck with the PT job search. Hope it works out for you! I've often thought about working for one of the big box hardware stores. I worked FT at an Ace hardware store for almost a year back in the day after first getting out of the service. Kinda enjoyed it.

I've often thought about working for one of the big box hardware stores

May I ask why? For a little extra pocket change? Or just to be out and be around people for a bit?

I love just being in the hardware store... all the tools and materials, the smell of the wood, and plants out in the garden centers. All the hardware of course. The discounts on purchases would be great as well. I think that Home Depot and Lowes both have pretty decent pay, insurance, and retirement/401K plans as well, and I hear their promotion policies are pretty decent also. I won't be looking for a job with them (or anyone else) any time soon unless forced. I'm retired and plan to stay that way. Just musing...

 

[RollingAcres]

You are retired so you can just go walk around the hardware store since you love being in the hardware store.

I have been in a pay freeze for 3 years and the boys just keep eating more and outgrowing clothes

My health insurance is close to a house payment or rent, as it keeps going up...

I don't blame the church, and I am hoping for some flexibility on their part to be able to add a little income.

I have thought abt problems with getting off for certain clergy activities, and it is something I need to discuss in the interview.
