Photo theme #176

[billz]

It's the number one topic of conversation wherever you go ... it's all about jobs. Thanks to Val for suggesting employment as the theme for the week. It won't be easy, but let's see if one of us can find a help wanted sign during the course of the week.

Have fun.

Have a job? Then you also have to deal with this...

They're few and far between these days but did drive past a Help Wanted sign today and had my camera with me so stopped and grabbed a shot. I suspect I wouldn't qualify for the position as cross-dressing isn't my cup of tea :D

Most everyone's aware that Steven drives for a living, but I found out today just what he drives!!! :twisted:

The ticket is for the ACE train (http://www.acerail.com/), which takes me to and fro on the days I go into the office.

The little gizmo displays a different one-in-a-million code every minute. On the days I work from home, I use the codes to access my company's network. I think the Mexican leather tassle goes well with it!

I was intrigued enough by Byron's post to actually visit the ACE web site. What I found gave me the opportunity to post under this theme again... (click the thumbnail to read the fine print...)

It's hard to take a photo of a computer screen! :p

From our local Sunday Times 2nd March 2009. I couldn't really make up my mind which of these I preferred so I am posting all three. I eagerly await your comments and preference Bill. :)

OK, I know that I posted this to my blog last week, so I did not take it this week. My apologies to the International Panel of Judges. I have just been swamped at work and at home this week, and I have not had a chance to take a picture. This is a street artist who has been employed.

Many people have been working hard on this new Library, slated to open later this month...

This is either Plan A or Plan C. When the theme was Employment, I knew right away that I would enter our local KFC sign - which, for months, had a "NOW HIRING" message on it. Imagine my disappointment when this greeted me on Tuesday!

But, when nothing else presented itself, I decided to go back to Plan A as "Not Hiring".

Tough to find a sign, but I see the forum members rose to the challenge. :) I just happened past a local firehouse today that always has a sign out. Actually had to delete pics off my card to get the picture too.
