Latest Breaking News

at least only work 'part time', because full time is too much for me (I already have a full time job).

I'll see if I can get them to up my salary at least, which is likely now, because there is a lot of work available here in SoCal. Way more job openings than people available to fill them. I see "We're hiring". "openings available", and "Help Wanted" signs everywhere.

Just yesterday, at one of the FREE newspaper displays, there was a flyer with those tear-outs offering open positions. Everyone seems to be hurting for employees now.

At my local place of employment, we 'lost' 3 people, but added 7 more, for a net gain of 4 people, but it is still really busy here. I just got a phone call this morning asking if I could come in this weekend (Friday and Saturday are my days off, but I might have to work 7 days a week if this continues)..

I rode the local trolley here finally at 5:30am yesterday (haven't done it for more than a year). The one I was on was PACKED. It was standing room only, and that was all of us headed for work. Early morning, Packed. Lots of people. Mass transit.

In the past, it was usually kind of empty that early, but not any more. Anything from 5:00am to 10;00am seems really busy right now.
