[BC] I'm looking for work....too

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

I've been looking for work for a few months.

A *FEW* (about 5 total) have been nice enough to let me know they got
my stuff and are reviewing things. A few of them were even kinda enuf
to let me know they found someone else/.

Now, I've been applying/looking since late Octoer. Think about how
many places I probably at, and think of the "return" rate. Not good,
eh?

I've found that when I apply in small markets (Elko NV, Sidney NE,
Julesurg CO) even though the GM or PD might be busy, they still have
people skills and are usually the first to respond.
