Going away for awhile--Thanks to all
06/30/10 at 19:25:56

Well the time has come. Because of my unemployment and financial situation, I will very soon be losing my cable/internet/phone, and probably my apartment, drums, wife, etc., etc., etc.. Unless they pass the unemployment extension, or I land a job. (after searching unsuccessfully for 2 years)
I wanted to thank all of you guys who have advised me over the last 4 years. I never would have gotten and kept the bike running without your unselfish input. There is such a wealth of knowledge on this site, it's truly amazing.
If and when I ever get back on my feet again, I will get my internet connection back and stop back to say HI! (if the wife doesn't confiscate the computer when she bolts)
Again, thanks to all and hope to be back soon. Until then.................

Good luck drums.

But wait, 2 years nojob? Rly? What's ur line of work?
Maybe its time to bite it and get a mortal job for a while
waitering, in the kitchen or maybe some kind of manual
labor, honest work for honest pay; me for example, you
Don't even want to know what my qualifications are and
I'm a cook now, no shame in that, pays the bills and I sleep
Well everynight, even save a little everymonth, still every
day I scan the net for new Employment opportunities,
I think I'll go in to teaching soon Again (but I'm afraid the
kitchen pays more Cheesy

)

L8r, and smile man, that is the key to life.

Our shop guys are getting cut to 4 day weeks, instead of laying off a couple deadbeats. Business sucks. Our un-billed labor time in June was more than double what it normally is. AEP (electric company) just got a 7.5% rate hike. Everything going up except wages.... I hate this crap.

Sorry to you to drums. Keep in touch! And try to keep your chin up. You are not alone.

Yet, when I try to get people to understand why this is happening & the mechanisms theyve used to create it, I get snubbed.. While we, as a nation, remain uneducated on the ways & means & reasons for the assault weve been under & will continue to be under, they will have their way with us. When the dumb masses cease to allow themselves to accept BS for answers, then we will all have a chance. PLease, Learn about the federal reserve, Go to Alex Jones sites & watch his films, for FREE, online. Watch the Obama deception, put out a couple of months after he was in office. GEE, its really close, huhhh?
What has happened is no accident, weve been deindustrialized & when the Carbon Tax is passed, we will be further deindustrialized AND taxed much higher. Please, for our childrens sake, WAKE UP>

Hey Drums; Here's what I did when in your position. I started helping people fix up their broken houses for a donation. You'd be surprised at the number of people out there whose houses are falling apart and have no money to fix them, you can also barter; which is a great way to trade skills. By the way, there is some work in western NY.
YOU'll MAKE IT.

Hey Drums, I feel for you. I lost my job on March 1 this year and things are getting rough. Luckily my wife has been able to pick up extra nursing shifts to help us get by in addition to my measly unemployment that I am still getting at this point (knock on wood). I picked up a few odd jobs here and there, but it's been more beneficial for me to stay home and take care of the kids while she works extra hours when she can get them. She now refers to me as the "Manny!" Huh

The thing that frustrates me most is I've got a college degree in accounting and 12 years of experience, but in 4 months of looking for a job I have only been able to get 3 interviews that relate to my line of work. Embarrassed

Best of luck to you, try to keep in touch.

BTW, you would think not working 40hrs a week I would be riding lots more, but honestly I've only rode it 3 or 4 times in that whole 4 months. We are 1/2 way through the riding season and I haven't even gone through the first tank of gas Sad

feels sorry for you. Not much better here in Europe. If you ever visit Denmark, you're welcome here, and use my drums

Rich people is responsebly for the depression we're seing right now, and they think the best solution is to let the not so rich people pay for the party. And NO!! - I'm not a komunist Grin

But it's not very hard to see what's happening in Eourope ass well in the USA.
