The Journey – cuatro

Two doors shut this week. They were new opportunities that I thought might work into something good.

One was a General Manger position for a company that hires people to haul RVs from Oregon to dealerships across the US. The business is based in Dallas, OR. I was not really excited about the idea of being a GM, but I was at least hoping to meet with them and learn more about their business, because I am still looking into starting a Auto Transport business. So I was thinking they could be another business contact for me. However, when I called they immediately said all positions have been filled. I tried to ask some questions about their business, but that did not go too far. My father-in-law had called them a while back about another position and they where short with him too, I guess we wouldn’t want to work with them anyway.

The second opportunity I was getting excited for … We were at Lori’s folks house on Monday and Lori’s dad and I were looking at the classifieds on the Capital Press’s website. Well I noticed a ranch hand job that sounded a lot like what I had done before. The ranch is near Heppner, OR which is not too far from where my dad and step-mom live n Hermiston. So after talking with Lori, I updated my resume and typed up a cover letter to fax Tuesday. I got it off Tuesday afternoon. They called Tuesday evening saying they really liked my resume, but they just hired some else. I was a little bummed, but God is good and something else will work out.

Next week I am meeting with Lori’s cousin, who is a realtor, to talk about real estate investing. If I can figure out how to get financing and can find good houses to buy-fix-and flip then I would like to do that.
