...now.
I received a call from a flesh peddler today (contract employment office) There is a job in Kansas City that has come open. This is one I had sent my resume' to but did not think I would get because they had 200-300 resume's submitted. Mine floated to the top somehow. This does not mean I get the job but it is a possibility now. They will go to discuss it and let me know tomorrow I hope.
It pays 32% more than my last employment. I would be one week in Kansas City and one week (or more) on the road, somewhere in the nation, doing walk downs at their plants to make 'as-built' P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams for those of you who don't know) of these existing facilities. They pay all expense when I am on the road, I pay for the week I'm in KC. I also have to pay my way out to KC the first time.
Job duration is from 3 mnths to a year. After that who knows? I may find something better before then.
I did push it some on the pay and pushed to be able to work from my home. I don't think they went for it. I then pushed to have more time before reporting so I could wait until my father is out of intensive care and comes home next week.

There are no bad guns, only bad people.
Take the gig if offered and dont look back, anyhting that may pop up closer will still do that whether you are on the road or not.
Take care and hope to see you next hunting season

It will play havoc with my shooting since I'll be on the road the majority of the time. I checked on the plant locations for this company. If I was in KC for half the weeks of the year and at a different plant every other week, I won't repeat visit any of them.
Don't know how those Missouri folks look upon shooters no-how.

Kansas City isn't bad for a city. There are a few GBrs here.
To whom much is given, much is expected.
When I was working contract, we refered to them as P i m p s, because they treat us like W h o r e s. Look up the definations, the terms are used correctly (they sold my * to the highest bidder, and I had to do what ever they wanted, or else).
Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.

All the contract agencies I ever worked with got a percent of our pay. So selling our arses to the highest bidder made us more money and I think that is what we work for anyway. Every job I ever had I had to do "what ever they wanted." It is called employment. And "or else" means if you do not want the paycheck maybe someone else does.
If someone unemployed does not appreciate a paycheck then I do not relate to them.
I thought you would sound more enthused since you have been out of work so long. The term flesh peddler is not flattering for someone who offers a paycheck when no one else has.
Dear sir you impune me. I am enthused, but reserved as I don't have a confirmed position yet.
The term 'Flesh Peddler' is used throughout the industry. Even the 'Flesh Peddlers' generally accept it, they're making money, nicht wahr?

Sounds damn good to me too. There were times I would have jumped through hoops for a job that put beans on the table. I was damn thankful to everyone who helped me get it too.
PS Missed, not meeting you, at the shoot last weekend.

I wish you luck, Powder. You never know if good or bad, until you try it. [8D]

Sorry I missed it but that was when my father ended up in the Hospital and I got sick again too.

Good luck with the position.

But we know you were jumping up and down cause you landed on your toe and noticed the pain and investigated and discovered toe jam.
I used to go to these Vietnamese ladies once every two weeks...$20 for a manicure and pedicure ...after two months, my feet were looking much better...after six, the nails looked healthy...the Doc wanted $125 to rip out one nail, but the pedicures and foot rub and ladies is nicer[:D]
