You tell it like it is. My fi...I like your style. You tell it like it is. My first experience seeking a job as a Host was around 1980. I drove around 200 miles to check it out and took a friend as we hadn't been to the area before. When I learned that I would be charged for my camping spot and utilities whether or not I was actually earning enough to pay for them my red hair lit right up...then we went back to Palmer TX. Years later while living in SD I accepted a position in the Pierre SD area as a resort Kitchen Manager and there was a position on the boat dock for my teenage son when summer started. It sounded great! A 2bd rm mobile home with utilities at no cost and wages for us both. I loaded my full size Bronco with all the important stuff. Dammit the untrained attack cat, sewing machine, TV, fans, bicycle, food, clothes, fishing rods, camera and away I went straight across SD E to W. There was a note on the MH to go right in. So in I went to someones dirty underwear laying under the coffee table, a shut off before being cleaned frig left to sit and a BIG HOLE in the hall floor covered with a throw rug. It also only had 1bd rm. That we could have dealt with. Not last seasons filth and being lied to. I took pictures wrote them a not very nice note and turned around and went home. <br /> You said it in your warning about being aware of promises.<br />My pictures that I took went with me to the SD Employment Service and saved my benefits from being denied. I was unemployed, then hired by the campground and then quit. By quitting and providing proof that I quit with a valid reason I was able to draw my benefits until I found a good job.<br /><br /> I'm retired and would like to do some voluteering or maybe work for pay at some type of campground in the future. It might not work for me. My Son sez that the older I get the meaner I get. I tell him I'm like a vintage car. Replacement parts can be hard to find. My "Others Folks B.S, Filter" is full and can't be replaced or cleaned. I'm nice and friendly to a point. I'm lucky that few get to that point.<br /><br />Your inexpensive van conversions were one of the 1st things I saw when my son hooked me up on the SKY NET 2yrs ago and I joined CRVL.<br /><br />Thanks Jewellann aka TxjbirdTexas Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160041920851439159[email protected]
