Jack,
I can give you a ‘hands-on-report’,
from Germany.
My ‘business’,..
I’m a self-employed independent tax-paying entertainer,
…went sour.
As my business became…’less busy’ 😕,
the German government offered me un-employment
(400,€ / 450.$ a month plus my health-care payments 105,€)
,,.or,
a ‘new job’. 😳
We actually had a SHORTAGE of Workers(!) this year,
over here!
…mainly due to the closed boarders.
I picked….asparagus, strawberrys, cherrys, plums, pears, and apples.
Ate well(!).
And was paid,…öK.
Still,…i’m HOPING for a ‘cure’!
This ‘work’ was very……time consuming(!..!). 😕
But I DID learn,….
the sun actually DOES come up(!),
before 9 am!
p.s.: As picking-season ended,
I was offered a job, as a ‘leaf-raker’.
…they’ve recognized my many talents(!).
As much as I love..🎶Autumn Leaves🎶,
i’m sitting this season out,
and going back to…un-paid-practising.
,….spring will come,
,….i hope to be ready.
Thank you, Dennis, for that report! You really must write a book about all your amazing experiences. I hope you and your family continue to stay safe and healthy.
