Travel Blog

Albuquerque got hit with those storms out of the west and we had some snow last night.

Sue is huddled in bed and refuses to come out until it melts, so I will be your blogger today.

Like Sue said, we are back in Albuquerque. After we left last March we thought we were going to be gone for awhile, but in this economy, the devil you know, and who knows you, seems better than the devil you don't.  Before coming back we tried to find some workamping jobs elsewhere, but there must have been a truckload of applicants for every job. After sevral dozen resumes didn't bring us anything, we called up one of the Temp agencies we have worked for here and they jumped all over us coming back. So we redid the tests and re-activated and now Sue is working as an extra teacher in a Head Start classroom (I know) and I'm doing a landscaping gig.  By the way, Gabe, if you are reading this, do you have to do anything special when you transplant a Sage bush from one side of a yard to another?

In other workamping news, this week Express Employment Professionals in Independance, KS sent a note to all of us who worked for them at Amazon.com saying that Amazon.com is no longer going to be using them to recruit workampers. Apparently Amazon.com is recruiting directly, paying a little more per hour, but not providing a campsite. On the Open Road Forum there is an ongoing discussion of this development, in case you are considering doing Amazon.com this fall.

Tune in next week and we should have an update on our plans for the summer.
