There has been much talk in the media about “green shoots” springing up in the economy…
We had our “green shoots” sprout up in our own personal economy today…
Our son went out and looked for a job!
I said it that way for effect.
The truth is that he has tried to find work this summer but his wrestling schedule made it difficult. Hey, scholarship athletes have problems too!
So, he has been sitting around the apartment quite a bit…
and that has caused me quite a bit of consternation.
I have managed to keep my mouth shut for the most part. But, I assure you that it has not been easy. My favorite meal this summer has been tongue. I say that because I have been biting mine almost daily.
We are down to five weeks before he leaves for Drexel. He needs to make some money!
So, today he applied at five fast food places! Let me tell you, I like that a whole bunch. Even if no one hires him, he became a better man today because he refused to become a victim of his circumstances. He exerted himself and tried to change them.
Stay tuned…
