Rudely awakened this morning

[labrat469]

This morning I got a phone call that yanked me out of dreamland. My mistake for having my cell next to my bed. I look at the number and recognized it as a place I used to work at. My old boss from Sears was wondering if I was still looking for a job. Apparently one of the mechanics found another job and quit. I asked what he was offering. So far this is what he was offering. A higher tech level and paid grade plus commission, 30 hours a week plus benefits. I thought about for a minute then told him to do the paperwork and call me back when he needs me to sign the paperwork.

Looks like I have a job and I was enjoying my vacation.

dont bitch...there are tons of people in this country that lost their jobs and cant find another..

 

[TopSecret]

Lol, well would you still like some congrats? Or pity? I have some pity as well if it is needed.

 

[savannahashlee]

I am bitchy because you Canadian weather terrorists buried me in snow and ice..LOL

 

[labrat469]

Damn weather terrorists! Trade you terrorists. I got Al-Acorn terrorist squirrels that blow themselves up on the transformers and take the power out for blocks and it takes hours for the power company to fix things.

I quit Sears because there was no way I could advance without someone I consider a friend either quitting or losing their job. I'm glad to have a job now but I don't like what it took for me to get the job.

More pay? Nothing wrong there

In this economy, consider yourself very lucky.

Congrats, there are several million Americans who would be really happy to have that to complain about right now. :nono:

Don't get me wrong I'm glad I have a job in this economy. But I wanted to be one of those lazy muthafucka's who get to sit on their asses and collect checks for once. Hell I haven't even recieved my first unemployment check. And I got laid off before Thanksgiving. LOL. My plan was to sit back and collect 16 weeks of unemployment for the 20 plus years that I have busted my ass to support those who will not work. I was going to use the system for what it is worth. That's my problem. Nothing ever goes as I planned.

Since you were Rudely awakened, that means you don't want a job and rather sleep????

 

[labrat469]

If you were having the same dream I was.... LOL

I told him to get the paperwork ready and I would come in and sign it. I took the job. I'm mentally unbalanced not stupid.

 

[tbcmorris]

I'm crossing my fingers that my shop stays busy enough

 

[suprahero]

congrats on the job. Sitting at home for sixteen weeks would only make you a lazy bastard and then you wouldn't be able to go to work when you found a job. You have to have a purpose in life or a reason to get out of bed, or you just feel useless. I work for myself, so I have to be self motivated. I don't have anyone to tell me what time to get to work, or when I can leave, so I have to make myself work. It's easy to lay around the house or type on the computer all day, but it doesn't buy Christmas presents for the family. Good luck with your new / old job.

You've paid into it... you don't qualify. :icon_bigg

Your weather is crap, as is ours.

Jobs are not easy to come by these days.

I qualify for UE but they are so far behind it's not funny. I'm hoping that they will pay me back pay after I start working again. I applied the 16th of last month and still haven't seen a single check. This shit just ain't fair.....

 

[JASONA70]

I wish I could get all those benefits.. in fact I even get paid at all. Interning sucks. GL with the job! hopefully a raise within a couple of months.. :icon_bigg
