Sanddunerider...you are right, it would include all the SDC attractions in Branson, and yes, to me that would be about half of what I thought it would be. But over the years they cut a lot of positions at the park, so it might be 2000 Bransonwide. Go figure. The folks in charge now cut staff to the point it can be rough for the ones working. Last Christmas, a gal working at the hot dog stand next to Wagonworks had a line quite a ways back and did everything on her own, no backup. I was ashamed to see that. Today though profit first, no un-necessary jobs that the company has to pay for. I'm being a bit extreme, I know, but sometimes I think the PTB today don't quite "get it" all the time.

Naw Junior. They get it.  You actually said it in your post. "No unnecessary jobs".
I cant say every business is doing it, but every business I know is doing it.
--Our place just downsized by one person this week. And at my age, it may be real hard to find employment here. STL area is shutting down mostly. Hmmmm, maybe I should move to NW Ark.?   I actually thought about SFSL again. It is great for part time work. You could never rely on it to supply the finances though.

On a good note. I already had 2 interviews, and another on Monday. The pay scale these days is very low compared to what I was making. But "hey" its better than unemployment.

Qwed, A company down here in Semo is hiring . Name is Mondi. It is a 24 hr 7 day operation though. I think 12 hour shifts. Seems to be a lot of work available in this area. But, I think I will stay the retired route.

Thank you runner. I checked out the website. Naturally, the only position available at that plant (or in the USA) is a R&D type position, they require all kinds of degrees.
I still thank you for the post.

I sure do wish I could retire, but Im just not old enough yet. nor do I think that tendinitis is a reason to claim disability. A good friend at Church owns a temp service. My brother owns a plumbing co. Im not real worried about getting work (YET). I just know that this is my last chance to finally get a job that I will enjoy. I think I might pick and choose for a short while first.

I havent had a vacation for 12 years. I am truly enjoying a short break for now. (I say that, but I havent even been off for a full week. Filled out 12 apps, had 2 interviews, and one more on Monday)  OK-maybe I actually miss working somewhat.

Thanks to anyone who has a job tip for me.
