I've been trying to think of a topic to share with you all, but as always, I continue to be amazed at the strength, courage, determination and wisdom of the members of My CoolWorks.  When I get calls about seasonal jobs, I encourage the callers / inquirers to join our social network and tune into the tribe.  Seriously you guys, you truly rock.  I am…

Becky and I have accepted a position with DNC in the Towers area this may, 2011. We will be working in the food service area. Looking for information/picture of dorm areas.

This blog is dedicated to all My Coolworker friends who have been following my trials and tribulations attempting to secure an Alaskan job offer for Summer 2011 ...  you know who you are :-)

 

At 61, male, not knockout handsome, overweight and apparently over educated ... I have found it difficult to obtain a job offer in Alaska this summer.  I have been at it since November 2010 (which is too early BTW), and have submitted a lot of employment applications.  Just no one has…

Shortly after I left the manager layed everyone off by leaving a notes on there doors saying they had 48 hours to vacate the premesis. Note that all of these people were picked up at the bus station in Billings.… Continue

Preparing for the season, we find ourselves packing up. Not stuff, I mean kindred spirits.

We know the sound of our pack when we hear it,  listening for that certain sound, a recognizable wildness and independence.

I'd rather take some chances living on the edge, running wild in cool places than den up safely in a cage while my paws turn grey.

Wolves may wander alone, but they have…

I have been on break this winter so to say.  I chose to travel this winter and do some volunteer work abroad in Mexico and Guatemala. I spent four months all together in both countries and had an amazing time.  I volunteered for an Animal Shelter in Mexico as well as a Wildlife Sanctuary in Guatemala.  I always try to be inventive when it comes to ideas to create more income when I travel.  Even though I am new to it still,…
