Work wanted on a golf course
Hello!
Okay, if you have taken the time to read my profile, you know that I am currently, happily unemployed- I have been working steady since I was 15 ( my Dad wouldn't buy me a pair of Levi's when the Plain Pocket from Jacque Penney was just as good, so I went out and got a job to buy them myself!) ANYWAY, it's been 27 years of work....and I took a break.
Ready to head back to the force of labor- one problem, those years I spent enjoying myself in the silver tube have left me with no qualifications other than to return to the silver tube...not gonna happen! Like cops and flight attendants, both are great at their jobs, but when they go to look for something else, they are only qualified to be cops or flight attendants.
So how is this for a job? I recently put an application in at a golf course to ( hopefully) be a 'refreshment cart server'....basically I would be able to drive a golf cart and deliver drinks to the golfers.....hmmm, I think I may be qualified for THAT one.....instead of being a 'cart pusher' I will be a cart driver. And just think, I can serve that can of beer BEFORE a safety demo!.....( I could in the case of an emergency, point out that you are in the rough, or the sand trap is up 4 feet to the left!)
In the meantime, I will enroll in a school that promises I can pass the Microsoft Office Certification test. What in the world will I do with that when I am finished? Probably nothing, same as I have done with my real estate license! But it shows my kids that you can return to school at any time, and keep on trying to better yourself. Seriously, most jobs that I could be interested in require proficiency in Microsoft Office. They didn't have portable computers on the airplane, and I was too busy 'chatting' up the customers to be bothered to learn that computer stuff even if they had! So back to school I go with the hopes of finding a job that will work with the family schedule and provide a little debt relief.
In the meantime, I hope to be able to work at the golf course for the summer. Call me crazy or stupid, but I truly believe that work should be fun! I am stuck with the thought that I should be able to enjoy myself while earning a wage.
Signing off now, have to practice my golf cart driving! And find a really kick ass pair of sunglasses!

Last time I went golfing, I arrived in my biker attire with my long hair. I even rode my Harley in. The guy in the golf shop took one look at me and said "Hold on, we have a cart for you". He went around back and returned with a Harley Davidson golf cart that had flames painted on both sides of it. And that's what I used. True story.

Sadly, they did not have one. Oh, by the way, I have your new picture posted. Supposedly you sent it titled "Me in the shower". Sorry.
