I just lost my job. UPDATE- finally got another one!

[ruiner]

I felt that way about my previous two career decisions before where I am now.

Good luck, and glad that you are being positive about it. Just don't become a lazy welfare person who otherwise could be productive.

 

Careful there.  I have good reason to believe that Ben leans to the left. 

[CHEWIE]

Heh... no worries.  I have nothing against the Lefties.

I do have a cousin and aunt who are the most worthless people I know.  Love to collect their welfare checks, blow it on junk and beer, and b!tch about not having nothing.  Just don't like their attitude, and how they are both taking advantage of the system.  People like them chance ruining it for the people that do need to depend on it.

Yes, I do lean to the left, but I have little tolerance for people whose only income is welfare when they're otherwise able to work.

I have a pretty large severance pay coming, and that should last me until summer classes start, so I might be able to skip the unemployment entirely.  

[CHEWIE]

I wasn't meaning to sound negative towards you - just so you know.   

And I am glad the left is out there - there needs to be a balace to keep both sides in check.   

 

[ruiner]

Just giving you **** (as you know).   

There's nothing wrong with taking unemployment $$ - big difference between welfare and unemployment!

[Ben]

A little update.

Just as my savings was about to run out, I finally found a job. Ironically, it's doing the same thing I did at my old job, just for a different company. I start Monday.

Pretty much means I can get back in the game again. Happy happy, joy joy!

I had to use the unemployment a little bit, but that happens.

Congratulations!

Does this mean that the stupid **** from the internet thread will get fewer updates, now?

[Tracy]

Congrats   I hope you'll at least be doing something that you don't despise -- that's the worst -- next to working for total ********.  Hope its a good situation for you Ben.

[JesseVader08]

Congrats - it's always an incredible feeling to get a job.   

[ruiner]

Congrats Ben!

Bad news is you'll have more money to spend on SW figures whichs means less for me to find!

 

[Ben]

Thanks everyone. I don't mind the work, but it could be a little less physically demanding.

ruiner- there's nothing to find here. I could have all the money in the world, and Target would still have nothing in stock. 

[DoctorPadawan]

Congratulations on the job, Ben.  I just hope the job-gettin' is contagious.

Yes, I do lean to the left,

My right one hangs a little lower.


Oh.  .wait. .
