Keep posting...don't worry about it being locked. Asswipes.

hi all...

I considered pulling a vabs and posting right after myself until it hit 5K.

you would

Man that shit is annoying...though I was known to do it at the old place.

i think we all have at some time or another. out of shear boredom if nothing else.

Right...sucks when no one else is on when you are trying to whore it up.

:nothing:


:pwhore2:


:D

Fucking work sucks.

At least you have a job! redflip

True. Sorry. I just have no desire to be here on a Saturday.

First day off in 4 weeks... i ain't doin SHIT!!!!!!!!!!

Eh, no biggie. Even in this godforsaken state, I'm positive about finding a job. Even if it's some shit job or two until something else better comes along. :dhtumb: This is nothing more than a minor setback. I've been through worse.

It's just a bit daunting because I have kids.

Thats a good attitude to have.

I have to. Otherwise I'll get depressed and just make things worse. :lol:

We'll see how optimistic I am in a couple of weeks when I haven't found shit for a job. :lol:

I just applied for a job on Friday. They say the best time to look for a job is when you have one...so...what the hell....we'll see what happens.

I've already filled out three online applications today and working on another one. One of them is for a position like the one I had. I'm also making a basic resume and having a couple of friends go over it since I suck at them and haven't made on in years.

I didn't realize Monday was a holiday so Tuesday I have a few places in mind to go to, one of which is a reputable employment agency that people I know have gone through for a job. Right now I'm trying to get as many apps and resumes out there as possible while I'm in in the go-getter mode. Nothing like being told "we're not hiring" constantly to bring a person's optimism down. :lol:

Good luck on your job search!

Thanks. I wasn't necessarily looking...but a state job opened up...and I figured what the hell. We laid a bunch of ppl off a few weeks ago...so I already had a tape and resume ready to go.

State job? Does that mean you'll have to take a civil service exam?

I went to our state's civil service website and it's down until Monday. I'm going to see what all I can apply for there and take the exam. Typically, working for the state of LA the pay isn't the best depending upon what you're doing, but the benefits are most excellent and make up for it. I have a couple of friends and varying aquaintainces who have state jobs and do well in their fields and have some of the best benefits I've seen. :dthumb: If I can get my foot in the door at the local hospital, they'll also pay for education for some medical positions too. That would be awesome! :D

No exam that I know of. I'm a photog. I dont know what kind of test I can take to prove that...:lol: Thats why I have a demo tape. My pay now sucks. And I work weekends. And holidays. And I never see my wife. While not nearly as exciting...the state gig would be ALOT more money, 9-5 Monday through Friday and holidays off. Not to mention the state beni's.


That being said...I'd rather stay where I'm at...if I was monday through friday.

Here, from what I understand, a civil service exam of some sort is required in order to be considered for any state employment.

As much as I loved my old job, the pay wasn't exactly the best but the benefits were good. I had considered in the past applying at their competitor's because the pay was a little better, although I don't know much about their benefits. I just put in an online app (the only way you can apply for the job) so hopefully I'll hear something back from them. I mean, how many licensed operators could there be in this town trying to get the position? The old job trained you. This one wants someone who's already been trained and licensed. Hell, I had been in the security industry for a few years before I knew about the trainining and licesning. Not to mention that there was actually a monitoring center or two in town. Imagine my surprise! :lol:

The problem here is I really like my job. But the industry is changing. Everything is changing. I've never wanted to do this forever...but I'm not ready to leave yet. But at the same time...I need to pay the bills. At the time of the lay offs...anyone who didnt lose their job took a 4% pay cut...along with no OT...I'm down almost 15% of what I made last year.

I got into this industry by accident, in a sense, and I've grown to love it. There's so much more to it that I want to learn! So if possible, I'll continue in this field. And the plus is, as long as there's thieves, fires, and mandated fire codes, there's always a possibility for a job in it. It's almost one of those "who you know" type jobs as they typically hire from the inside. It's hard for someone to start in this field, be it as an installer or an operator, without knowing someone.

That sucks about your pay cut. And it's sad to see how many people are getting laid off lately. :( Knowing that makes job hunting even more nerve wracking.

actually you were number 4999 :lol:

well I'm almost done... I'll pack everything tomorrow... and head out monday morning around 5am. think'n I'll hit Fargo around Wednight or thursday morn.

give me a shout you little bitch, I'll buy you a beer.



As for the job thing, I count myself lucky right now... I have to be one of the few people that has 2 good job offers available, and I just need to decide which one for sure I want to take.
It's a great problem to have.

I will... I'll be in town till Sunday morning...

Sounds good. I have nothing going on next weekend either, so hit me up.

and you'll be happy to know that a vast majority of our snow is gone due to the few days of rain we had.
Further, the temps are supposed to be in the 20's all week... all in all not bad.

I guess I'm the only one sitting at home tonight drinking. Figures. :lol:

Not the only one...hubby and I went out but like usual we are home early. :lol:

me and the gf payed a visit to the local bimmer/duc/triumph/victory dealer today to do some drooling. got to check out a desmo, the 1198s, new 675, and in the back...in the used bikes section...a pristine red and silver mv agusta F4 1000. only 700 miles for only 13k. def wanted to start selling things

I was drinkin in the dorms tonight. Just got back to my room though.

yo

I had a couple beers about 3 hours ago, but nothin now. I am bored, however.

so whats new ppl? same old post whoring?

I was down playing Wii...

but yea Crazy, same old shit.
The OT stuff has tamed down a bit now though.

Good morning.

it is morning... and i don't have to work... so i guess it's good

I just woke up. Thinking about putting some some clothes and going to get some breakfast.

I just got up not too long ago. Trying to get a couple of people together to go ride. :D

Come on up here and ride...

it's only 17 degrees right now, but we're supposed to see 30.

We're at 30, supposed to hit 40.

It's supposed to get into the upper 50's here today. A new rider I'm supposed to be meeting up with is headed out to a movie and will call me when it's over. One of my other riding friend's is getting ready to come over so hopefully we'll all get a little riding in today.

It's Sunday. Guess who's back at work. Me.


Ebbs....you jack off...when you rolling through Harrisburg?

Maybe this summer... The xterra eats up some road trip money

Out of control.

Hey oh.

Almost at 7k posts.

i'm at almost...

Trying. It's tough.

and now i'm going to play the wii.

I'm just over 11k... :leaving:

And your post average is a little over 31 a day. :pwhore2:

Yay Wii beer pong! :D

That's ok. I'll still be here to post whore enough for both of us :pwhore2:


:lol: :lol:

A hawt girl riding it :dthumb:

point ;)

Oi.

Aqui :D

If you have a wii and like goofy party games (like mario party) then check out warioware - its amazing.

Is that a game, or something i have to download online?

I've spent the last hour looking up stuff about my favorite childhood cartoons...Voltron, Thundercats, and Ghostbusters. Oh...the memories.

7,000 posts. Congrats to me.

Weeeeellll....give you a moon pie and a cream soda redflip

I'll pass on the moon pie...but cream soda sounds good.

Truth.

I've spent the last 3 days not doing much of anything

I like finally having days off

have to go throw darts in a couple hours.

I haven't worked since Thursday...and working from home tomorrow. :rockwoot:

7,000.. impressive..

If I didn't go to indy last year and meet Rae, Katherine, Trip, Ebbs, Drewpy and everyone else, I probably wouldn't post here anymore. That's bad.

I don't even know how many posts I have...

Well... there's the answer.

Hmm

Well hey you. How have you been?

It's my Sunday.

game

Just got back from the gym...and made the most unbelievable roast beef sandwich.

man i can't wait to have my own place so i can actually cook in my own kitchen :lol:

Oh this shit was good. On top of the Sirloin I grilled last night and twice baked pototoes. I've been eating good.

i dont think i'll really be able to learn how to cook anything till i graduate
till then its mac n cheese, spaghetti, and ramen :lol:

Cooking isn't hard at all. I can make the greatest breakfast caserole ever.

Typing one handed is hard as hell. At least, slow. I'm giving plasma so my arm is hooked up to a machine.

Ahh, looks like I found the new thread. OG checking in, son.

cooking isnt that bad. cleaning is a bitch.

:iagree: That's why I have the padawans to do it. :lol:

i had a run on the old world that was 100+ un-interupted posts

that's cause you did that when it started sucking and no one was around, so you had to talk to yourself more than usual.

that was awhile ago, way before the suck started

You were already there, so the suck had begun... :lol:

i had been at twf for ages, kinda sad i was on there before i even had a damn bike

just think, if you would have gone and gotten another job instead of postwhoring all that time how much sooner you could have afforded one! :lol:

gotten another job?!, shit son, im a college student, i got more jobs then a paper shredder in the whitehouse!!

:rofl:

:lmao: :lmao:

Blah.

insomnia sucks sometimes.


been up since 2:30....


Already got the dogs out and playing with them. Done w/ dishes... about to start laundry.....


Crazy when you're tired but can't sleep. bleh.




Anyone else out there?????

I am here. I'm trying to figure out if I'm losing brain function or am naturally retarded. I think either outcome won't be enjoyable.
