Difficult Job Market

I work from home and have done so for all of my married life (20 years next month). Over these two decades, my work has varied quite significantly and right now it involves computer work over the internet. The schedule is flexible and it pays well so I am very happy with the opportunities I’ve been able to find to earn an income.

I can’t imagine having to enter the job market as a professional outside the home. Times have changed significantly since I voluntarily removed myself from the job sector. I’d imagine it’s as difficult wading through the pa job listings as it is anywhere in the nation right now. Again…another reason I feel very blessed and fortunate.

Look What I Found!

I unexpectedly found myself wandering around in the library the other day. After checking out, I walked past the cart where they invariably have a selection of books for sale. Suddenly, my eye caught something and I screeched my brakes to a halt. The entire 15-volume set of 1967 Childcraft Books for sale! $10!!!!! Unbelievable! I thumbed through them and they are in perfect condition…hardly even used!

I hurriedly scooped up my treasure and trotted back to the circulation desk to pay for these beauties before they slipped through my hands. Ah…what a find!

They are now home and my project for the day is finding the perfect home for these – probably right next to our World Book set.

Made my week!
