Anyone else have neighbor problems???

Ramath and Mugsy,

Thanks for the offer to help me find a job. I'm a staff writer at the Hartford Courant, the oldest continuously published newspaper in the country (God, I sound like a commercial!!:p ). I've been there 4 years and have realized I am going NOWHERE in that company. People are dropping like flies there and I think it's time I flew the coop as well. But I do need to find other employment first.

My former sister-in-law and her husband (she's my brother's first wife :eek: ) live in Ecorse. I have been looking in www.monster.com for a job (they list them by states). I also have 12 years experience as a Legal Assistant, so I'm not limited to just writing (although it IS my passion). When I was in Michigan a couple of weeks ago I checked the local newspapers and even called them to see if there was anything available. There isn't. So it looks like I'm going to have to find a secretarial job or Legal Assitant job (although I swore I would NEVER work for a lawyer ever again). I looked in Wyandotte, Dearborn, Monroe, and a couple of other places. Not much there. It is difficult to look for a job in another state when you're gainfully employed and don't want your employer to know you're looking. (After being passed over for a promotion, now I don't care if they know or not). I'll let you know how I'm making out.

Thanks again guys for the offer. :D

Well, since Mike went and got that old beat up privacy fencing and propped it up against the fence on their side, they've pretty much shut up. The guy and I had a stare down at 6am the other day, but discretion being the better part of valor, he didn't say anything. The grandkids were over yesterday for Father's Day and I just made sure that the dogs didn't go out when they were out, I don't want them teasing them and attempting to make them mean.

I'm packing up and moving to Michigan the first weekend after Labor Day! I've decided the only way to get a job there is to be a resident.

And...before I leave, I plan on making my downstairs neighbor's life miserable. She will be greatful that I've moved out. She thinks my cats are noisy now?? Just wait. Revenge is sweet!

MICHIGAN HERE I COME!!!!;) :D

We used to have problems with the people who live next door, they once called the Humane Society to report us for neglect of our Samyoed who in all types of weather prefered to live outside...yes even in the below freezing Canadian temps...but when the officers came by they said that he had the perfect living conditions. He had a well built dog house (dad made it professional wood worker, it had better be well made) that was raised off the ground and that had three or four blankets in it, but he prefered to sleep in the whole that he dug for himself (sledding dog what can I say) and he always had fresh water. Not to mention if the weather got beyond a certain point we would bring Sam in the house, which he didn't always like. And Yes I know it's bad to keep a dog outside all the time, we had no choice though because Sam refused to enter the house because he would get to hot.

Then a few years after Sam died we got Coco our chocolate lab/pointer cross...I know my family wasn't original with the names...and he complained about something else with her and once again the officers couldn't find anything wrong. Luckily he hasn't compalined about Smudge and Winter, so either he could care less now or they aren't that bad.

WOOHOOO indeed!!!! What city are you moving too?

I'm still hounding staff here for info. ;) :D

Ramath,

I'm probably going to be in either Ecorse or Detroit. The apartment I'm looking into right now is in Ecorse. I called a bunch of temp agencies and they said once I get into town to call them and they'd set up interviews. I think this is going to be a piece of cake.

And I meant to say MICHIGAN HERE WE COME!! Wherever I go, my furbabies go. :p

Thanks for looking Ramath.
