21 January -- Ceritications for everything, really?

While I was at Walmart I met a couple who had relocated here from Minnesota.  They had been told that Logan was a good place to come to so they came.  It put her a little closer to her family in Oregon and Washington.  He is working at West Liberty Food through Intermountain Staffing.  He is also a welder; however, he is not "certified."  His wife made an interesting observation about Utah.  She said the state is very "professional/college" oriented which means a person needs to be certified to do a job.  She has 15 years experience doing home health care in Minnesota but no certification; he doesn't have any certification as a welder.  As I think about it, she is pretty much on the mark.  One of our candidates was working on getting forklift certification.  For home health care, a person needs to be a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA).  People even get certified for cashiering, but it isn't required, at least not yet.

This morning I took a picture of the window sill in my bedroom.  It had ice on the inside from condensation because it was so cold outside.  The weather keeps saying it is going to get into the 20s or maybe even the 30s.  I have yet to see it happen.  I’m starting to get use to seeing my breath in the car as I drive down the road to the Center.  Pretty sad, huh?
