Plan #1: Update

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Not one response to my craigslist ad.

But, I have found a potential opportunity in The Villages Daily Sun newspaper. Covering my bases, I applied for the job (it’s in Ocala) AND I’ve updated the craigslist ad to include $5/hr in the heading. That should attract some attention. $5/hr to clean house is unheard of…or is it? (more…)
