We Want You!

Do you...

Have a valid California license?

Have a clean DMV?

Live in the San Jose area?

Need a job?

We really need a driver and a warehouse person/fill-in driver at Lord & Sons. Experience driving trucks and with a forklift helpful. Able to lift up to 50lbs minimum.

Contact me if you are interested, or know someone who might be a good fit.

Two things: We're serious about the clean DMV. One moving violation, one accident, is enough to end the interview. Also, Showing up daily and on time is vital. We just fired a new driver because he couldn't get his ass in on time.

L&S is a great place to work, as anyone reading my journal should know by now.

Oops.

Despite not being a POD-person anymore, I still notice the things. (I also notice SuperShuttles when I'm driving.) On the route we take home when Kirsten picks me up there's a POD that has been there for a long time. Seriously, I think this thing was placed last summer. It's on Lincoln Ave in Willow Glen (for you locals) and is being used as storage for what appears to be a complete rebuild of a house.

Today as we passed I noticed a huge problem. The container had been dropped with its right side fairly close to a fence line. When it was placed, the left side had a few feet of clearance.

That was then, this is now.

The remodel has extended the house's walls. From my quick glance it appear that the distance between wall and POD had dropped below the critical 18" mark. And there is no wiggle room on the other side of the POD. Even better, they had built and overhang over the container! In short, they can't get the container out now.

Y'know, if I still owrked there you know I'd get that final pick-up.

I'll call J tomorrow and let him know about the problem.

As the Big 4-0 rumbles ever closer...

I got my first present! Kirsten was online (I know, big shock) and found me a copy of Bruce Dickinson's Tyranny of Souls.

Major headbanging.
