help wanted for winter: snow shovellers

[somervillesnow.livejournal.com]

Don't see many job postings on this board, or jobs tag, but I assume this is OK. 

I'm looking for people to help me snow shovel this winter.  All of the properties I take care of are in or near Somerville, and the day usually starts/ends near Davis Square, so specifically I'm looking for people who are local (hence posting here).  

It is not too glamorous but it can be fun and you get some excercise and some money.   If you are un or underemployed or want to make some extra money this winter, please send me a PM for more details and also tell me a little about yourself in general.    Since the snow is unpredictable you don't have to commit, but at least I'm looking to build a list of people who would like to be contacted when storms are coming to see if they want to work.
