And there it is – 3 interviews done in as many days, not counting the applications sent out over the internet. Predominant in all this is my confusion with the salaries offered. Companies and establishments complaining about lack of personnel, but only willing to pay amounts that are just on or below poverty level. Because I’ve done accounting including financial statements for various enterprises with similar activities, I know for a fact that, with their profit margin, they can afford to treat their employees better. Covid aside, the commerce that will be fair with their workers will have more success in the long run. It has been proven time and again. It’s becoming a habit, this shaking my head at the lack of insight for much of the population.
Two of the on-line applications for remote work were interesting (with decent wages), and I had a telephone interview with one of them yesterday morning. Unfortunately, my internet is not up to par for their requirements. We have satellites out here, but they want cable, which will only be installed in this area sometime in September 2022.
On to other things. My sister is home from the hospital and taking blood thinners for the clots still in her lungs. Quarantine will be over for my grandsons and their families this weekend and, happily, none of them were terribly sick with it. NHL games are back on the TV and my mouthy bird had stopped the continuous loud squawking; one has to wonder if she really DOES need a weekly dose of profanity to be happy, because that’s what she gets when my team plays badly, which is regularly lately.
It is quite warm here, and will be raining the whole day, before starting to snow again for the next 6 days, predicted by TWN, with temperatures hovering the freezing mark. It’s reminding me of the weather that brought on our Ice storm in 1998. Wouldn’t that be the icing on the cake?
But that’s tomorrow, and we’re still today. The beasts and I had a short night, and this kind of weather is perfect to go back to bed and curl up with a book while they cuddle, then tonight another hockey game to satisfy the bird, all worth a SMILE!
Sharing it with you folks – an umbrella with that?
