petitioner and her husband resided in the Victorville area at Boron.
They moved to Catheys Valley, but there is no evidence of any
business purpose for such move, and we may therefore assume that the
purpose for the move was personal. Nevertheless, with few
exceptions, petitioner continued to accept employment in the
southern California area, with most jobs being near Victorville or
further from Catheys Valley than from Victorville; e.g. Octillo,
California; Needles, California; Laughlin, Nevada.
The parties stipulated that each job petitioner accepted was
for a short term and that petitioner had no anticipation of further
employment by Fontana. We recognize that road or other construction
or repair projects are commonly of limited duration. But if the
employer is successful and has many projects, highly regarded,
skilled employees will continue to be employed. It is in this
context that we understand the parties' stipulations as to
petitioner's expectation of future work, once a project was
completed. Fontana was in the road construction business and
petitioner was highly regarded by Fontana. The relationship between
them was a continuing one, subject only to the availability of
projects requiring her skills. Fontana's principal place of
business and most of its operations were in the southern California
area. Its headquarters were in Fontana, California, near San
Bernardino.
