YES!!

My sister got a job with the same company I work with, Wackenhut/G4S. It's a security company that contracts security personnel out to various different companys. It didn't hurt that I had her do a mock interview with my boss a while back when she was working on her GED. That definitly got her foot in the door. She had two rec's, the one from my boss because he did her mock interview and then the one from me. Even though she is my sister, a rec is a rec and it doesn't hurt that I have a clean work history with them. I have nothing bad in my file **knock on wood** all I have are emp of the month, recognition awards, security officer, leadership certificates, and a great team award from the client that G4S contracted me to.

The job is a part time job but it has the opportunity to get full time and picking up extra shifts here and there which works out. And it pays her at least $10.50 p/hr which is better than min wage, so even though it's only PT for now it still works in her favor since it pays more than any other job she has ever had.

Once she goes FT in her job her and I can get an apartment together, but in the mean time we get to work on bills. Before she can even start working on paying her debt off she needs to get money together to buy a car, in the mean time she is using our mom's car, but that is only temporary.

For me I need to pay off some bills, I have about $8,000.00 in c/c debt, then student loans, then medical and dental bills. I have surgery next Thursday to have my gallbladder removed and I think I will have to pay 20% of that which will suck, but it's better than having to pay 100% of it. I am having pain from my Gallstones, so surgery can't get here fast enough for me. I hope that I can last till then and not have to go into the ER and have emergency surgery. As it is I will be missing 3 days of work, and it just so happens to fall on a holiday week so that's one more day I am out of pay.

I filled out medical papers through the state to see if I can't qualify for a reduced medical/dental insurance through them. I know it will be a while yet before I hear from them, but I hope I hear soon. I have to cancel my work insurance by end of October or I am stuck with it for another year. Before then I need to get a vision test and make sure I use up all that I can of my current insurance, just so I don't lose out on anything that is covered now. Either way I can't go without insurance, so if that means I end up being stuck with it for another year, I guess that's what will happen. Will see, only time will tell.

Possible Thesis?

Surfing the Internet junk blogs here on B this morning and other websites like http://www.junkrevolution.com/ as well as http://www.junkbonanza.com/ I began to contemplate junk over all. Thinking of advertising on http://www.craigslist.com/ and any other small local paper that I will come get their junk. I would even pack up their parents home that they inherited. I would not muddle through everything I would just take everything. Figured I might get some junk that way. I think a good slogan line would be that ones junk is another's treasure.

Bare with me here I am not getting off track this has a point. The real thinking got when I started thinking back to some thoughts I had yesterday about a verbal essay on politics and the state of affairs we are in with regards to medical and education being at the forefront of my debate. I started visualizing my essay with PowerPoint visuals and a wand used to point to various things on screen. When I thought of using slide shows and holding the thing used to change slide, I think the top is red but the overall color of it was black. In any case I remembered the machine from the movie with Julia Roberts teaching women at an all girls academy and thought that using slides versus PowerPoint would be so old school. Not being bad just old school. Which brought me back to junk. And the prospect of possibly using junk as a thesis, I wonder if someone could truly use junk as their subject for their thesis paper in school. I would certainly love to have the opportunity just so as to have an excuse to peruse loads of junk. I would think it would be possible to do, you might need a good argument or you might be strongly urged against it.

I am far from a thesis paper but I look forward to using the time up till then as 'research' time for the actual paper. Who would have thought I would find a legit claim to all the time I spend looking at everyones junk. Now my goal is to start carrying a junk bag. My junk bag I am sure will evolve over time as has what I wear to flea markets, junk shows, antique fairs, and garage sales. I already have a hat which is m y favorite hat, but I never get a chance to wear it till I labeled, titled, or named it my junking hat. I make sure to bring with me sunscreen and an energy spray that gets sprayed under the tongue which helps with energy and appetite. I also bring hand sanitizer and tissue. Now I am thinking that I will add wet wipes and ziplock bags to the list as well as good walking shoes and an umbrella. What else shall I need? I may need to peruse some other junk blogs and see whats in their junk must bring tote.

I am officially on the look out for an old styled grocery cart that was originally used to tote all your grocerys home, but for which I will use to tote all my junk treasures home.
