Don't get me started. We know very well how it is

Good luck in those fields. Lots of people looking for
those jobs. Most people end up at the business end of a broom or shovel
these days regardless of how qualified they are.(or the like).
Geri spends her mornings at the CCC
(foodbank/clothing/assistance). She sets her schedule so she can be there
as much as she can. She is in charge of the office. I set up their
database and computers and foodorder stuff in the back as well as other
stuff. In fact I'm looking at new wireless routers and switches right now.
When the building was built they put in a bunch of cat 5 and a rack but
didn't put in anything else. SO I had a donated house hold router running
things for years and it died. Replaced it with an 8 port wireless router
and it's dropping the wireless every so often requiring a reboot which
means logging all computers out of the database before reboot... Then
reconnect.

Would love to have a 72 monte but that one has
more rust than I would want to deal with compared to a tx car. Besides it
would cost me a good chunk to ship it here then the $200 import tax that TX
charges to out of state cars and then sales tax on what their "bluebook"
value is. Besides got my elky up for sale here anyway. Will be a long time
before I do another car project.
