Yesterday while walking JP I noticed some water bubbling out of the ground along side the road. So I called the city to report it. I'm happy to see this morning a crew out there fixing it. I'm guessing it is part of the watering system for the Dept. of Corrections (who's land the water was pooling on).

I almost worked 60 hours last week, between both part time jobs. I also found out that if I work more than 40 in a week, unemployment won't give me any money. So now I need to figure out if I should keep filing anyway, using up weeks, because I need to do that to keep my "outsourced worker" status. Or if I can stop and then start up again if I loose the post office job. I'm not worried about loosing it because of my performance, but at any time they can decided they don't need the temps and let me go.

I had a few good job leads last week, so here's hoping. I think I need to make some business cards if I'm going to go to more networking events.

I finished Owner's Share by Nathan Lowell, the sixth and last book in his Trader's Tales series. In my opinion the best one so far. It helped that I already liked a lot of the characters and knew a lot about them, I was already invested in their lives. When I saw this title I was worried we'd have to skip decades of time to get the main character up to the point where he could afford to start his own company. But Nathan handled that step very, very well and we started off right where the last book left off. Good story, lots of small and interesting plots to go along with the main one, and tons of action. The ending was a bit more melancholy than I like, but I am happy to see that he left it open for more stories. This is the last in this series and if we do see more of these characters it will be in a completely different story arc.

rating: A+
