Sold my soul.........

-
I had the vague feeling that I sold my soul to the devil this weekend. $$ is tight - no job in sight!
I had a half a box of cheeze-its for supper the other night. Then, with only a few dollars in the pocket we did the deed. We bought double cheeseburgers at McDonalds. Then....to top off the weekend's evil, I applied for a job at Wal Mart.
What does this all mean? Have I succumbed to the evils of corporate America? Have I entered there through the portal of poverty?
I swore off Micky D's years ago. I shun Wal Mart as much as possible and would rather support the smaller guy as much as I can. Wal Mart has embodied corporate evil in many ways and their application process made me feel like I was signing up for the mark of the beast. You know, 666?
After the initial application questions of name, address, blah, blah, blah, you have to answer approximately sixty four questions. You answer in the form of strongly agree to strongly disagree. Questions that appeared to weed out pot smokers, thieves, and then anybody who would not willingly be a monkey in a blue Wal Mart vest. Pretty amazing. Even if you are not really interested in a Blue Vest job, go and fill out the application at the lay-away section. You take it on a computer and you don't have to talk to anyone. It takes ten to fifteen minutes. Tell me what you think...

Damn!
I personally love Wal-Mart, I'll admit it, but wouldn't want to work there.
That said, my sister works in their photostudios, so what do I know? She's pretty happy though and my ex-bf climbed the corporate ladder and now works in the marketing team in corporate Canada.

A job is a job. Really at this point if Unholy Bloodsuckers of America offered you a job, wouldn't you take it? Doesn't have to be forever but at least it will pull you over the rough patch.

Hi Tim

If the reason you have for taking any job -ANY JOB is to take care of yourself and your family then the goodness of your soul is very much intact. Sometimes we gotta do things for the greater good, even though they might appear - on the surface to be "selling out". Your primary motivation seems pure to me.

TaoSpring - pallet chicken coop

-
Image
I had less than a month to build a suitable coop and chicken run. I had very little money to work with. Having seen many coops and out buildings that people have assembled using scrap pallets, I thought that I would give it a try. Starting with two 4 x 8 pallets as the floor, I assembled all the available pallets that I could find. This is the frame of the coop. It will measure approximately 8ft x 8ft. Saltbox style roof will be 9 feet at the front and will taper down to 8 1/4 feet in the back. My inspiration is drawn from the bottom photo   seen here. I varied the plans to accommodate the unevenness of available pallet size. In a perfect world a 4' x 4' pallet would make pallet building as easy as playing with Lego's. Unfortunately downsizing has effected everything. Most pallets now measure 48" x 40" and the solid 4' by 4' pallets are usually reclaimed by their owners. Oh, they're out there, but I am looking to build for as little

Seasons - garden update

This summer has been very unusual. But I've seen it all before. There are times that the seasons act according to form and there are times that they don't. There have been more days of rain and clouds than sunny summer days. In point of fact, we had warmer days in May. We got started rather late but as you can see things are progressing in spite of all the wet weather.

I hate bad news

Sunday morning......Saturday night was spent around the fire with about ten people, little scotch, little beer, good conversation, shrimp, cheese & crackers, sliced apple and smoked gouda. So, getting up this a.m. was a little difficult and then the phone rang. It was my oldest daughter. My niece's baby died. Her father was holding her on the couch and gave her a bottle at 11 p.m. When he awoke, she was beside him on the couch dead. They don't know if he slept on her and she smothered or died from natural causes. She was 2 months old. We don't see as much death in little children as we once did. We have very old cemetaries tucked in throughout New England with many little children, sometimes from the same family that died from disease. This kind of death is different. How does anyone deal with this? If it is ruled an accident due to smothering, how does the father manage? How does my neice ever be able to look at him? Damn, I hate bad news......
