WCIIF ? .... Im STILL unemployed, out of money, and out of patience ...
No pot to piss in ...

No window .....

I can only PRAY no 'company' arrives to inspect my empty shelves, and my shrivelled optimism ....

The GOP economy, THEIR economy, after 'investing' some 2.6 TRILLION dollars in 'trickle-down', 'voodoo economics' ...

The GOP economy .... in a word ....

Sucks ....

I dont envy those who have ... I was a 'have' recently ... I will be ok, eventually .... but DAYUM ! ...

I WANT to work ! ... I HAVE long experience ....

NO work to be had ..... after 10 solid weeks of searching ...

Sighs ....

FUCK the GOP ....

Sorry, man...
That's awful...

:hug:

Not much I know but all I can offer right now... I think for a lot of us with jobs, the paycheck's spent before we get it anyhow.

Here's hoping something nice happens for you soon...

I am also unemployed. I have my own business, writing patents on contract, but have not had any work there for more than 6 months. So I took a temp job, which ran out. Now I am drawing unemployment benefits. I like it. But the job market sucks. 3 years ago, for experienced writers with degrees in Computer Science and Technical Writing, there was all kinds of work. Nothing now....

My law school got put off a year (applied too late). I am thinking of dusting off my teaching certificate, and taking a couple of quick courses to get certified as a driving school instructor. Hey, I taught my wife to drive, and I am still here to talk about it....

This economy reminds me SO MUCH of the 90-93 bust. These fucking Bushies MUST HANG for their crimes....

7. Wow ....
You would think that Dallas would have prospered under the Boy-King .... It seems to have taken the HUGEST fall in Texas ....

What a bummer mhr ....

We have had this discussion before ... and yet: here we are again .... damn ....

How many government jobs would 2.6 TRILLION dollars buy ? ...

$2,600,000,000,000.00 / $36,000.00 = 72,222,222

OMG ! .....

2.6 TRILLION dollars, if used to create jobs at 36 THOUSAND dollars a year per job: would create 72 MILLION jobs .....

WTF ? ...

GEEEEZ ....

Im in shock .....

5. Remember the Repug saying "a rising tide lifts all boats"
That's if you have a boat. Think of it this way, you have more time to use against Bushco. Best wishes, fellow lefty. Our thoughts are with you.

6. Have you checked craigslist.org?
They may have job listings in a city near you. They've helped me get some leads.
