Stacks of paperwork, it was worth it to do for the job I had.

This is great news having followed the trials and tribulations!

They asked me about prescription drugs, when did I last drink and if I was on any perscrition drugs.

All answers were NO.


Well, while surfing the net I found out that many over the counter pain meds, like Advil and Aleve, will cause a false positive on a drug test. They look like marijuana on the test.

I am lucky that they did go ahead and run the other test after it came up positive just to see if it was weed or not.

So now I have a Asst. Manager job!

The restaurant I had a less than part time job was not to happy to hear this. So I just quit since they tried to push me to tell the full time that they could only work me part time till the two week were over ( you know, the curtsey thing about leaving one job for the other). I was not going to dictate to the bigger money job for a place that was only offering me less than 20 hours.

This job is a big key for me to get what I need to get back to Tucson!

I think with this, I will be able to get back in two and 1/2 years! I want to have a nest egg and wheels before I go back.

Take one step at a time...the heart will heal.

Been following your situation but my computer died and I just got a new one today. (Yea! No more library!) So thankful you've been able to find something so quickly. I was out of work for 7 mos and just started work a month ago. Thankfully at a job and with people I really like; hope it works out for you as well!

Good luck!!!

I am searching for a bike or a car. But I do not want to do payments due to the one place that does the no credit, no problem says it takes 3 years at the least to pay or one of their cars. And they are the fastest to pay off in town! I do not want tied down if I can get an opening.

So Craigslist is my friend!

It is bitter sweet for me. But I am just keeping my mind on the prize of moving back to Tucson. I do LOVE that town!

To do this, I need:
1) a Nest Egg
2) Job leads :and now I will have something new on the resume along with it being an asst. manager as well as a convenient store,it
will he a little easier:
3) Wheels of some sort.

Nothing fancy, just basic transportation. Then I'd start trying to save.

It will be easy to find something since my late Mother's side are car, truck and bike enthusiast. Even if I get something a little rough, I am related to some of the best body, motor, break, list goes on, in SW MO! And they can't wait to help with the hunt!
