No. I got the intake and catch can done last Saturday; that was it. At this point, I won't have time until my vacation at Christmas to do it, and then only if it's not freezing out.

You have a big garage. Why does the weather matter? Put a sweatshirt on and man up

It's insulated, too . Well, the door's not, but the walls are, and the room above it is heated. I even have a space heater.

You're just now picking up on that? Where the hell have you been?

I'm not worried, I'm sure that somewhere in the span of nine days (eight not counting Christmas day) I'll get it installed.

I'll be in town from tonight through Friday but since I don't have a job and Mitzi gets such a long break from school, we will be in Cary until the first weekend of January

We all need to get together sometime this week. Sonny's on Wednesday?

Eric can't do tomorrow night and I can't do Thursday night, so that's why I never spread the word any more or texted you about it.

Just woke up. I posted my resume on Career Builder and all I get e-mails for are commission-based positions and I never get the jobs I apply for via a company's website.

The job hunt is not fun

That sucks Tyler. I think I mentioned this before, but be prepared to take a shit job since you're just getting started in that field. When my sister started 13 years ago in that industry, she was making less than $30k a year. In marketing/PR, you really need to prove your worth to make a livable salary - which I'm sure you will have no problem achieving. It's just the starting point that's going to suck.

Have you reached out to any recruiters in your area? Annoyed anyone on LinkdIn enough to give you an interview recently? I think the best way to look at your current situation is this - right now, you work for yourself. You need to market yourself for mass appeal; really sell yourself to companies. Also, it will really help you if you tailor your resume to each individual job you are applying to. I mentioned this in the past, but many resumes that are sent into companies never hit anyones desk. They have programs that parse all the data, strip out all of the formatting, and look for keywords. That's why many online applications ask you to past your resume into a text box. The biggest hurdle of all is getting past the parsers. One trick is to use words mentioned in the job posting in your resume. Yes, it's tedious, and yes you'll have who knows how many versions of your resume, but if the ends justify the means....

If I hear of anything in your area, or even a work from home job, I will definitely let you know. Being unemployed sucks.

Thanks Morgan

My problem is finding a "normal" job; something that isn't during the weekends and doesn't involve me bugging people for sales. When it comes to income, at this point, something is better than nothing. I just don't want a commission-only job.

I know I know, beggars can't be choosers, but I didn't go to college to do a job that crackheads can do
