This is not to be confused with my age! lol! I just lost count of how many times I have posted. What a milestone!. Anyway, I was reading a friends blog the other day about men who lie. I pondered on this topic for some time and have come to this conclusion. This friend was right! Men do lie! Let me explain. A couple of weeks ago I was helping a good friend with an auto problem and it took most of the day. I had replaced a broken hose with a new one but the car did not run right. Come to find out, the new hose was faulty! Imagine that! It took some time to locate a new hose from another dealership and got the hose installed and the car runs great! When I returned home I was accused of goofing off because it took to long to fix the car. When I explained how the first new hose was bad and we had to get another new hose, I was confronted with "I dont believe you"! Yep, I was caught in a lie. The truth of it is that I was telling the whole truth! Didn't lie a bit. But not being allowed to explain further, the day went on and alot of emtional feelings were hurt. I am not a person who would lie.
As I got home from work today, I was visiting about a phone call that Laurie recieved and was told that the reason why I cant get a job right now is that I shouldn't tell the truth about how much my last salary was. That I should fib just a little. Nothing good comes from telling lies! I get into trouble telling the truth, heavens forbid I tell I lie! What trouble would that be?!!
Now that I have spoken my peace, it is time to keep going. I have been working in Phoenix for a few days and don't know if it will be full time or not but it is helping out. I still applying for jobs but they are still in short supply.
Until next time C'YA!!!!!:)

I love when I reach milestone posts! Richard you are one of the good ones, please don't ever change! Sorry my post was so man hating. You know I love all my favorite men!
Sometimes it feels like you can never win. But, keep your chin up! It will work out eventually. It has to. I can't believe the Lord wants you to suffer just for the sake of doing so. You will make it, just keep trying!
As to the salary, I have told Laurie that same thing in the past. I have heard from several people, even job "experts" that when you are looking for a job to get you through until you have a better job that you must be careful what you say. If you tell them that you only want the job long enough to find another one or that the pay is substancially less that your last job, they will look for someone else. In this job market you have to be as competetive as possible. While I wouldn't want you to lie, I would make yourself as marketable as possible. Sorry you are not getting the support you need!
