    Nothing yet so far. I'm hoping to find a place to call home. 23 an hour + OT after 9 doesn't seem that bad to be honest. Trying to find something worthwhile. Although I can only afford to stay at home for another week and I need to return to work somewhere.

    I'm talking with a few dump truck drivers tomorrow. Hopefully I can get into something specialized like that. I'm starting to wonder if it's even possible to find a company that pays on payroll in the GTA. First thing all these companies ask is "are you incorporated"? Will post back if I come across anything.

    Go apply at any ltl company. Everyone’s hiring. Gravel trucks hire those that no one else will. Pays terrible. And you have to go like a raped ape.
