Yep. Still unlicensed as well, but making progress on that front. The military is always an option.

hmm that really is a sad state of affairs. Bagging at a grocery store is another option, I guess

Yeah, I'm still hoping. There are a ton of grocery stores with a ton of turnover, so really she'll never exhaust all of them, she can just reapply every few weeks or so.

Texas is short on nurses and nursing assistants. She might be able to find a free, possibly paid (training wage), 4 week CNA course in exchange for working for the sponsoring health care organization for a period of time, probably a year, at full wages. She'd have to pay the course fee if she quits earlier though. You can search for info starting with places like this.
If she couldn't handle that amount of physical labor, she probably wouldn't make it through basic training in the military. |

I've been working on a job building custom windows. My shop and all, literally all, my tools were either broken, dead, rusty or otherwise in need of rehabilitation. Spent the better part of a month repairing and rebuilding and dialing-in the shop and tools.
Got to work on cutting the parts. No problems so far, knock wood. I needed to make a spacer for my dado set so I planed a piece of wood to the desired thickness and I put a new blade on the band saw to cut the circle, I set the tracking and tension and the new blade was fantastic. I needed to re-adjust the guide block and as I was tightening it the screw didn't snug up; the %@#%& casting split at the screw hole. No biggie, $6.00 part except... except... no one has this discontinued POS in stock. Fuckers. I'm going to see if I can silver solder whatever shitty pot metal they used. 0/10 Would not break this part again.

You could probably make one of these with shit you already have in your shop. Gotta be some way to mount it to you POS guide bar.

I honestly didn't think it was really possible to fail basic training, I thought they just made you go through it again and again until you were in shape. But as usual, it looks like my judgmental griping was unwarranted and premature. Her second interviewer emailed back today with a background check consent form, so things may be more likely on that one than she first thought. |

The silver solder didn't work. I have no idea what that metal is but the solder just beaded up on the surface like water on teflon. Back burner for now.
