I Has Job!

My husband and I commute roughly 150 miles each day to/from work.

Whoa !!!! That's a lot of travelling.

Yep. It was only 80 miles a day when we bought our house (in an area we could afford a house!) in 2004... but then his office keeps moving further away (to be closer to the CEO's house!).

My office has moved 4 times since then, but never more than 1-2 miles from the previous location.

Im not driving 120+ miles each day, I get headaches and migraines too. If I work 4 10s the dogs would be inside for 12.5-13 hours each day until I fence the yard in.

For now the dogs will get kenneled, so I can stay in town when Im working.

I'd be saying my prayers hoping the price of fuel doesn't take another hike.

Not the ideal situation but you're one of the fortunate ones to find work now. Good for you, blue.

Unemployment is high especially in Ohio where I live. There are people here who have been out of work over a year and have given up finding any.

Wow, I didn't know that. In fact I didn't know the state of the economy over there at all.....I assumed everything was ok.
We have a boom here at the moment, and have had for a really long time.
There is so much work around, especially where I live, that it's hard to find people to do stuff for you.
Just before Xmas, a lady in a car ran into the front of a rental house that I own, and caused about $12,000 worth of damage. Since then I have phoned and phoned builders, but not one of them has come out to quote the repair works. Even the Insurance company can't find builders. On Monday I will be contacting the Builders Licensing Board, and ask them to reinstate my builders license (which I gave up two years ago when I retired), this is going to cost me a neat $500 to get my license back to fix one of my own houses.
I really don't have the time for this, I work as a volunteer looking after the interests of war widows and disabled veterans now, and that takes heaps of my time.
If you find any out of work builders over there mate....send em over....LOLOL.
