I write this as I sit in the Williston McD's.

I just spoke to the kid behind the counter. He started yesterday.

10.00 an hour
No Bonus
40 hours a week
Benefits. Medical/Dental/Optical

Still good for stuffing fries in a bag all day.

Dairy Queen is however offering a $300 signing bonus if you worked at a Dairy Queen before.

I woke up today and went and got a shower. (felt great after 3 days) Then I was thinking instead of staying here cuple days and rush around like a looney toon I'm gonna go slow and steady. I'm staying at least 2 maybe 3 weeks or as long as I want.

So I got lunch and was hopping in my truck to start knocking on doors and I got that mystery email

and turned right around and dealt with that.

Then its about 3pm so... just online again... filling out more apps and more searches.

I heard that Wal-mart in Minot now allows pets into the store, not just assistance dogs and such, but any pets. I can't believe it, can you imagine the damage one dog could do to the merchandise if it lifted it's leg in the store?

Not a rumor or question but just received my 3rd email response from nd drilling companys that they wont be hiring again until May.

Apply at a fracking co. or production. Drillers are there and gone....production is a bit longer, and fracking is just getting started. Heard Cal Frac is good....check recent update from rickydink and his posts.
