The Gods smiled on me today. I found a new job! Yea!
I will actually be making more money than on my last job.

I was unemployed for 5 months and was really falling behind in my bills.

I'll be working for a family owned business. Actually I will be running the business. They are the largest contract labor supplier in the San Joaquin Valley and there is also a trucking business with 40 trucks and a motorcycle business.

The owner of the company is a Mexican national. Thank the gods for immigrants!!! He makes a lot of money here and in Mexico.

Now we just got to get A Dem president.

10. So long as you don't pronounce it "San Ho-Quinn" valley',
you'll do fine.

Had to correct someone on that once.

She called Joaquin Phoenix "Ho-Quinn"...

In public.

And congrats on the gig....!

11. Expect a call from Bush
to sit in the gallery tonight as "proof" that the economy is strong. You are one of the lucky few in this disastrous jobless "recovery.

So glad for you - hope it lasts a LONG time. Any health bennies?

13. Does he ...

Does he have a standing policy of hiring illegals? Working for a criminal organization is not honorable irregardless of whether it pays the bills.
