Onya Asifarmer,

When will you be notified that you got the Farm Hand job? Have you started packing yet?
Get ready to start coz he will be also impressed by the fact that you drove all the way to see him!!!

Yes, I'm sure he appreciated that small gesture. I still prefer the old fashioned method of looking for work. I get out there, right in their face asking the question "got any work mister??" I found out about this job thru the bush telegraph here Ken which I'm sure you know all about in your area also. Word of mouth in a small community travels faster than light!!

Yes I did actually!! His reaction was "well there's no street lights for 56.5kms John!!"

If I land the job, I may have a new recruit!!

LOL! I'm not sure if he's on the internet. At least he didn't give me that "the lights are on but nobody's home" blank stare I usually get when I mention the word "telescope"

I got that look today at a computer store in Port Lincoln from the owner when I told him how I take astro-photo's! And an even blanker look when I pointed to a webcam he had forsale & I said "yes, I use a webcam similar to that one!"

I would've thought ALL farmers were on the net these days. They are around here.

*sigh* It's been over a month now, & this guy has not called me to let me know 'yay or nay' if I got the job or not! (he promised he would, & I'll hold him to it...if your not going to do it, don't say it!!)

I also told him I was on the internet a LOT & to leave a message & I'll call him back.

I assume someone else got the job. I will not be calling him to find out, stuff it!

What do I have to do to earn a living!????

i would give him a call, can't hurt and you have nothing to lose.

"gudday, i was just seeing if you have had a chance to fill that position yet?"

worst case scenario----> "you have, not a problem, thanks for the opportunity"

you have not lost face, if anything you will gain confidence for the next one interview.

bad news can be turned from being getting you down to a confidence builder by meeting head on.

works for me!!!

chin up and i am going to whip your ass off the planet tonight with a ripper saturn!!!!
