???
Once again I got turned down for a Soil Conservationist job
The note said that my self reporting my qualifications showed that I was not among the most qualified
Let me tell you something
I think they are looking only for folks who know the programs
Has nothing to do with scientific knowledge skills or deductive reasoning
NOT that those things aren't important
But you tell me how a recently graduated undergrad who worked summers for the NRCS during school gets hired and I don't? That's what's missing. I mean, I get it, but good grief, how do I get my foot in the door?
God is trying to get me on the right road and gosh, I'm trying Lord, I'm really trying

I could tell you so much, but is it appropriate? Appropriate even if I know no one is reading this? But once its posted its out there, public record.
*sigh*
Well, here is what I an share... Leon, the crackerjack carpenter who is going to help Gerald build the wood foundation for our house stopped by and we share the plans with him. We have the floor trusses but need to pickup the wood for building the foundation. Our garage is mostly enclosed and so is a good place for putting together the foundation out of the weather before installing it on the gravel base. The gravel base is a 3 ft wide, 5 ft deep trench filled with gravel. Its the footing necessary to avoid frost heaving and allow drainage. I'm hoping that once that starts the house goes up quickly - or at least quicker
