Ugh...
I just had one of the most frustrating conversations ever. I was talking to "a relative" earlier, letting them know of our impending move, and what does she tell me?

"There are jobs here. You just aren't looking hard enough."

GRRR!

If I am willing to drive two hours west for a job INTERVIEW, don't you think I've already completed an exhaustive search of my own hometown?

But she made me think -- perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough. Therefore, I just completed perusing the help wanted ads and all the area job sites that I know of. Here is a small sampling of the jobs available:

Here is what Monster.com had to offer: Nothing..unless you want to sell insurance or work from home in a "proven method with guaranteed results".

Yeah, right.

So, for those of you who might be wondering, there are no REAL jobs in my hometown. I really wish there were. That way, my family and I would not have to go through all this.

Okay, that's my rant for the day. I'm going back to refereeing the celebratory activities. I'll give you an update on the party later.
