    These days, your pretty fortunate to have a business that can run 6 days a week.

    Right you are, just too bad I have such a hard time finding someone who really wants a 40 hour per week job. New employee, came in late once in the first week which was just last week, then was supposed to be in at 9 Wednesday morning, no show, no call until 10:30 am,,not going to make it in feeling sick...then call in sick yesterday...not going to cut it here, bye bye...employee before that, several complaints at the business next door on my day off that the person working my store was pretty much worthless... plus several items mysteriously missing,,,plus constantly taking 3 day weekends,,nope, not here, not in retail furniture sales... I just don't understand. It really does not get any easier than the position that I am trying to fill. I am guaranteeing these people 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year.. Paid vacation after a year. Most days are only busy for a couple hours so they get paid to sit and read a book, do puzzles, be on the computer etc. for at least half the day. All I ask is that you show up on time, and do your job when it is needed. I mean ,come on people, if I had that kind of work ethic I would kick my own butt.

    Sounds like a pretty darn good job. It's not like it used to be. People just want the $$ but don't want to do anything to get it. At one time I would have loved a job like that. You would think that as many people as there are that don't have jobs someone would jump at that one. Good Luck..

    Problem is our government makes it way too easy to do nothing and get paid for it.

    Life has many choices, eternity has two...choose wisely.

    There are all kinds of people wanting this job. The problem is not only do they want to get paid for the half day that there is nothing to do, they also want to sit on there butts the other half day and get paid for it also. Or they think that coming in to apply for a job in a shirt with cut off sleeves, or dirty jeans and a hoodie is ok. Then they get mad when I ask if they really want a job or if they are just here because social services makes them look for work. Then when those people ask me to sign their sheets for DSS because that is all they are really here for I tell them "No, you aren't really looking for a job so I am not singing something that says you came in and applied for one", oh man, that does not go over very well. Oh well, I am going fishing or getting in the woods this weekend and will feel good about it because I earned a break. Hope everyone is having a great fall so far. Take care and hope to see many of you Michiganders at the Spring Slabfest.

    People today believe they are "entitled" to things that most of us worked very hard for. Easy, to most people is defined simply as "let someone else do it"

    I have a friend who bales and sells hay. He had to stop making bales, bought a $30,000 machine to make the 4-6 ft. rolls. He was unable to hire anyone to stack the bales at $20.00 (That's TWENTY DOLLARS) per hour. Years ago our son used to bale for 2.50/hr. and was happy to get the work. Our grandson turned it down - too much work!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!
