Re: got fired
I'll probably be in the same boat as you tomorrow, my boss has been getting pissed off at me lately for not really giving a ---- about what hours he schedules me. It's a 6.15 an hour job, if I don't feel like working, I won't. Until they start giving me better wages they can expect a whole lot of nothing out of me. I plan on quitting soon if I'm not fired to find a job that pays better, minimum wage jobs suck.

Re: got fired
Surprised no one commented on where those jobs went to. They went to Mexico and China. ------ ---- more jobs taken away from us and given to another country. When will this crap stop? We should see to our own country's good welfare before another country's.
Hope you pic up the peices quick Mhorton.

Re: got fired
Iceknight - First of all you only get unemployment for a few months (actually 16 in my wife's case, because she went to college and NAFTA, AKA "Send Jobs To Other Countries", extends unemployment and pays for tuition), so she is not having everyone else take care of her, except me I guess, or being a drain on the economy.
Also, 2 of those years were when she was in college, and it is hard (though not impossible) to work and attend classes at the same time.
Being fired from a job she had for 12 years (assembly line) really hurt her confidence, so she's having trouble getting out an finding another.
So don't be putting down my wife, thats one of the few things that gets me angry.

dont take this the wrong way, but its reality
when i started working at teh dealer i work for now, i was still recovering from a severe drug abuse problem, overcoming a confidence problem has nothing on kicking an addiction
she's just got to pick herself up, kick her pride to the curb and get out and take what she can get.

Re: got fired
Down here in fl it seems to me work is everywhere.I see a ton of help wanted signs and ads in the paper.I quit my last jobs due to better offers and currently work at one one day a month(to keep the employee discount 
).My new job pays me a really good pay that can make it so i can finally afford a house.In the last 5 years i havent been over 2 weeks without a job and i dont see why anybody else should be.

Re: got fired
"Your a ------- ----- for defending her" - No, that's what I would be if I DIDN'T defend her because I was afraid of your opinion.
We don't see the point in her going to college, then getting a job flipping burgers. What a waste of time. And not worth it, when you factor gas and frequent repairs to her heap of a car or car payments if we replaced it, we'd barely break even. Her time was more valuable working around the house. We were making it fine on my salary, I just couldn't afford to focus on what you all know is an expensive hobby. That was the whole point of my comment, that my project is on hold. Now that I'm not working, she will probably have to take a less than ideal job, and I'm sure she will. Forget it, think what you will, I done with this.
"I'll let your wife suck my dick." You won't make enough in your lifetime to make that happen.
"^ Probably took your wifes and your job." Actually, my wife's job did go to Canada. They could pay them less per hour, plus at the time $1 USD = $0.60 Canadian, so what they did pay was worth less. Don't know or care what the current exchange rate is.
Mista Bone, thats close, I'm 30, she's 36.
