Dear Santa, this christmas bring me a job

A little about me and why I am wishing for this, because it is a kind of unusual wish, I was a plumber, and construction labor growing up, a tom boy to the bone, I am really small so I've always had people judge my skill and strength without knowing what I can do. My ex husband was no exception, except he was both physically and verbally abusive about it. I finally got out, after 14 years, but its kind of like being paroled coming off becoming a house wife and a shut in into the job market. No one wants to hire you, I spent 6 months actually having issues with job hunting due to panic attacks from being a shut in.


Well in my 3 years since the divorce I worked a few minimum wage jobs, but not many, I fought and fought to work to my goal to better myself, went from mine security due to a lost contract to the more stable mine transport, till they gave me a choice between a my kids and my job, long story the punch line was I lost my job over scheduling appointments for my kids on my days off. I do schedule around work this is no problem. Just can't be totally unreasonable, I do after all have kids to raise.


Fact is I know where I want to be, I have my MSHA both surface and underground, PPE, I don't use drugs, I have a clean criminal record and mostly clean MVR (1 point on my license for 80 in a 75) I can be on the bus at 2 to 3 am, I can handle the shift work, I can and do handle inclimate weather and dirty jobs fine, I can lift and carry heavy loads, I don't mind dirt and or greese, I will do the work, task me on a shovel and I will spend all day busting my tail. I just want a shot. Basically I need to work, I need real work, and I just want a shot. I can be trained to do most anything, and will do it the way you want. How you can help, get me hired by any mine contractor, or mine in reasonable commute distance from Winnemucca and Ill make you proud Ill prove I deserve to be there.


Also need a job to hold me till then :) need an income
