Once more into the breach . . . .

Well, apparently I don't even qualify for waiting tables, so I'm going to return to what I'm good at; being a spook.

More specifically, I'm applying as a Federal Air Marshal. Long flights, lots of travel and I get to shoot people. What more could you ask for? I sent in the application today and I've got my background check information completed, so I may be heading off into the wild blue yonder in a few months.

I had rather hoped to find a good job close to home so I could keep my animals and relax in the beautiful farmland with chickens following me around the yard, but I guess such is not to be.

There must be something close to home for you. Keep looking.

Dreams become reality...sooner or later.

Keep dreaming!

Sorry it didn't work out. Sometimes the path to where we want to be is crooked and steep. You just have to keep moving forward.

Cheers and best of Luck

Trust me you didn't want to be a waitress. Best of luck in your search for gainful employment.

That's probably because they sensed you wanted to throw the patrons on the floor, hand cuff them and divert the bar to another airport. The good news is you have more time to knit. O'Neille

Once more unto the breach, dear friend, once more...Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect!

(Kind of funny, I just started reading Henry V today, been thinking of it a lot lately).

Good luck in getting the job!

You're gonna throw a white sheet over your head??

Ah, I see. So I have to behave myself next time I fly on a US plane... gotcha!

Seriously now... I'm sorry to hear that your employment search has been fruitless so far, and that you might have to "leave the farm" (so to speak)... but I hope that you find a job that you're happy in.

cheers

I had to look around and see if you had built a home on my 88 acres. I;ve got the chickens as well as 6 ducks and 8 geese. Morning feeding time is kind of noisy around here. Anyhow, good luck on the job. I do hope you are able to find something closer. I know I'd miss all of my fowl, amd the Virginia farmland where I live.
