Not as exciting as the chacha job but there might be a chi-huahua or two.

In all seriousness, I like the outdoors.

good luck on the chacha prospect.

Guess I'll give #3 a shot. Besides it being a temp job, the other thing I don't like about it is having to lift 50 pounds. I'd either get in shape or die!

rly? 50lb is not really a lot -and I bet you'd never have to do it -it's a fitness "benchmark" ...but most things come in smaller packages - 10 and 25

This.
We may still have that in the job descriptions we use, because occasionally you will need to move a box of copy paper. They weigh about 50 pounds. But this isn't a warehouse, and we're not slinging boxes around all day long. It's a desk job.

Update on my continued job search. Apparently, I don't qualify to pull weeds, since I've heard nothing back from that job. Probably some idiot with a Master's in the Removal of Exotic and Unwanted Botanical Species got THAT job.

Cortez remains flat line on the jobs scene. However I got a job offer in Durango, 50 miles away, for a job that sounds perfect for me. It's as a horticultural technician, caring for indoor plants and atriums like you see in posh hotels, banks, etc. I have done this before, and I loved the job. I have a BA in botany and adore plants of all kinds. The company would start me part-time and then if they like me, I'd move to full time.

But there's a catch (ain't there always?) They won't hire me unless I live in Durango - it's just too far to commute through the mountains between the two towns. So, I have to find a rental in Durango. Rents in Durango tend to be strastospheric since its a student/tourist town.

The good news is that college is letting out for the summer, so more lower priced rentals are becoming available. The bad news is that I have to drive 100 miles round trip to check places out and with the price of gas, that means $25/trip. I try to line up as many places as possible to look at in one trip, but the really good deals are snapped up within a day, so sometimes I am faced with deciding if what looks great on paper is actually worth that $25.00 trip.

I can afford one more apt hunting trip, but then I'm going to be grounded for at least 10 days. This is extremely frustrating and if I can't make it to Durango in a reasonable amount of time that job will go to someone else, GRRRR!!
