I'm looking for a new job

I moved into the Mid-Canterbury area a couple of years ago and we built a new house. I got a part time job as a lorry driver while my wife got a full time job. This worked well as it gave me time to landscape when not at work (and ride mid-week).

Anyway, end of last year Mrs Jackal just had a guts full of Real Estate (she worked at a local Real Estate Office doing the admin stuff) Which meant I had to go back to full time work. I applied for a driving job advertised through an employment agency. Got the job and started on the 17th.

Job was driving a shit sucker truck. I have had many jobs over the past 33 years since leaving school and some of them have been alot grosser then sucking somebody else's poose! But alas after just three weeks I realise this job is not for me. Job was shit, pay was shit, prospect of advancement was shit and having been told I would be based out of Ashburton and have been traveling to Rakaia every day for a 7am start. I told them on Friday I would not be back. The boss was very understanding.

To that end I am now looking for work. 32 to 40 hours a week. Weekends off. Something close to Ashburton. I have driver licence classes 1,2,4,6,F & DG. It would be quicker for me to list the jobs I have not done, so will try my hand at anything. I don't lie and I don't steal. I need a job pretty quick as I only have 6 more bottles of Corona in the fridge and half a tank of gas in the Guzzi

Worked on a large chicken farm producing eggs for half the South Island. Morning ritual was checking the cages for dead chickens. With 80,000 of them there was always dead ones to peel off the cage floor. I don't know how but everyday you would find heaps that had died weeks ago that you did not find the day before. And of course they all come away in pieses. Took me ages to eat a feed of KFC after working there.

Also picked up many human dead from all sorts of places. Nothing quite like the smell of a week old dead body still in bed with the electric blanket on III.
