Unemployment...
 

So, Im at the end of my yearly contract out here at MS... Have 100 days till I can come back (managers have expressed interest in once again bringing me back when Im eligible)...

Have a bit over couple grand saved up (not to mention the 3+ Gs the straight cut box will bring in when sold) and take home about 21-2200 a monthy unemployment.

Car needs a new head gasket installed, and its mah birfday1 week from today. Goal is to get the damn HG in.... Need to get her all slutted up for the NW HMT meet...

? is with the straight cuts, or the OEM JDM LSD box....

There will be no slicks, but looking for looooooow 11s on the M&Hs

It's your ------ money

Re: Unemployment...
 

isnt the oem lsd one the only one that has taken the beating and begged for more

Re: Unemployment...
 

if youre gonna get 2200 a month for unemployment and can afford to live on that then youre stupid not to. even if you cant get back at your old job id still milk the unemployment for all its worth until its up then find a new job. hell you pay for it every week in taxes and if you dont use it some ungrateful lazy piece of trash is just gonna get it for welfare anyways.

Re: Unemployment...
 

take the unemployment $$ and get a job working for cash under the table

Re: Unemployment...
 

OC<GTC taking a break from work will be nice too, not sure about the unemployment but i guess you might as well get some of that money you been paying all these years back lol.

Re: Unemployment...
 

I asctually broke second in it a couple weeks ago, but shes all freshened up and IN the car right now (all new inside - the gears in it have not seen any turbo abuse... SHould last for a hot minute again... I broke 3 teeth off of the input shaft on second, MINT otherwise, so I changed out the fifth gearset and selector sleeve, shifts FLAWLESS... HAHAHAHA and is entirely made up of busted tranny parts...


... Not sure why the HG went, but it wasnt pulling as good a vacuum as previously when warm.... and was running on 3.5 cylinders... Leakdown showed that there is a significant leak in the cooling system on 4. That was after a relentless witch hiunt of injector/ Ignition woes... It sounded like the spark was breaking up.


You could hear the air hissing out the radiator... The block was checked when I rebuilt it, ARPS tqed to spec, The ONLY thing I didnt do was check the head for flatness...

It never got hot, but I sure wish I would have checked it now... ill let yall know what happened when I get it apart this week.

DEFINATELY plan on making the 18th though....

Re: Unemployment...
 

You don't need no stinking slicks, the M&H's own.

Re: Unemployment...
 

Check the head and deck. Hopefully the deck is fine. Get the head planed if it aint'. You ever try Indian Head brand Schallak compound? It's like super glue for gaskets. I broke 5/12 head bolts on my Yamahammer outboard. Put the 7 that werent' broke and that shalack ---- and it holds strong. I wanna try it on a car HG one day. It's super good ----.

Re: Unemployment...
 

up until friday i would have agreed. now id say dont waste your time with them.

Re: Unemployment...
 

I ran 11.90 at 128 on mid boost and with that Fed tranny... BABYING it (2.2 60s and shifting like a girl).... I think I should be able to get it at least in the mid 11s on them. With the staight cuts (not that I really want to change the trannys again)... I wouldnt be suprised with low 11s, however... Im not Trying TO BREAK MORE ----.

LOL....

Probably most likely be on M&Hs with the LSD tranny in it. Buying a new HG and ---- for the weekend fix now.

Re: Unemployment...
 

too many polls :o

Re: Unemployment...
 

ive got a set of 325/50/15's on my mach 1 and the best i could cut with them is a 1.96 60'. i swear whatever compound they use sucks dick. i didnt have luck with them on my CRX either.

Re: Unemployment...
 

bitch you had better can that defeatist attitude by the 18th

Re: Unemployment...
 

i think a boosted 11 sec motor is a lil different than a yahmaha outboard motor.

Re: Unemployment...
 

that engine is quite more than 11 seconds, its just when tubby gets in he weighs it down, like trying to tow a trailer with a poodle.

Re: Unemployment...
 

Indeed. It's a low compression engine, so I dunno. Just saying it might help. I'm more curious if anyone's ever used it on a car. I know it's popular on small engines.

Re: Unemployment...
 

unemployment isnt free, you pay it back to the govt at tax time

Re: Unemployment...
 

Ya with a skinny chonkey and a hatch shell that motor'd go 9s. As it is.

Re: Unemployment...
 

If you need a skinny person to hit a 10 in your car let me know ill do it for a small fee :1

Re: Unemployment...
 

I feel your pain/happiness. I'm unemployed as of this coming saturday. Jobs are pretty plentiful in aspen this time of year though b/c no one can afford to live here and work a normal job-- you have to already be rich, or in my case, have a (almost) free place to live. I should be able to make a lot of money here this winter. I hope.

Re: Unemployment...
 

I got a 1.55 60' on the 235/60-15's this past weekend. :y

Re: Unemployment...
 

Wow.

Re: Unemployment...
 

Caution:threat hijack.
Are they drag radials or slicks?
What PSI?

BDVT, take the unemployment.

Re: Unemployment...
 

They are a bias ply dot tire.

Kinda ugly, but get the job done.

Re: Unemployment...
 

Unemployment was great paid for me to live my freshman year in school. Go back to school and get financial aid too

Re: Unemployment...
 

Holy ----! How much is your unemployment over there?!

Over here with crrent exchange rates we get about 100$ a week!

Screw it, you paid for it, I say get some of it back. I got made unemployed in June but work is kinda hard to come by right now due to two big employers in my town laying off over 1500 people. I keep going into interviews and seeing people I used to work with sat outside for the same thing...

Re: Unemployment...
 

He makes alot so he gets alot for unemploment


When I was 19 and got unemploment I was making 9 bucks an hour in 1999 working full time for kragen. My unemploment checks added up to around 500 a month

Re: Unemployment...
 

Ahhh, sucks. We get flat rate regardless of whether you were a senior VP or a street sweeper.

Goddamn this country blows :(

Re: Unemployment...
 

Ya as long as the car doesnt do anything SUPER retareded, I can live on what I have saved and unenjoyment for a few months easy....

Still, ill be so bored 1-2 months in im sure ill be looking for something.

And yes, Ive made ----------in BELIEVBERS out of people with the M&Hs.....

Incredible in my experience... Hook 3rd up SOLID at over 520 WHP



THE STRAIGHTCUTS weill be in for the meet...

Re: Unemployment...
 

i say take the unemployment, then deliver pizzas in the 'cord. youll make a killing (all cash too) O0

Re: Unemployment...
 

yeah you should be good for a couple months, aslong as you dont binge too hard, hookers crack and mcdonalds can drain your wallet with the quickness.

Re: Unemployment...
 

Just know if u take unemployment thoes fucker will be on you 24/7 til u get a job, calling you every day asking what places you have interviewed at etc. gets old fast.

Re: Unemployment...
 

Thats why you get a phone that only takes phone calls in local like 8 bucks a month. I got calls all the time and never called anyone back never had one problem. The way the economy is I dount employers are lined up looking for workers. if anything most people are like bdv and getting a paid vacation.

Re: Unemployment...
 

Not true, ive dobne thios before... You have to keep a LOG of what contacts youve made (3 a week LOL), but they dont start ------- with you till about 90 days. I will be going back in 100 days, so Im gonna take the money and run...


Well, by run I mean sleep smoke crack and recieve oral by barely 18 females for crack hits...

Thats hot!

Re: Unemployment...
 

lucky you, ive got the drag radials but still they suck IMO. i really thought they would work ok cause they are so big but i was very disapointed when my buddy next to me in the same car cut a 1.5 60 and pulled the tire on a brand new, sticker on, first burnout 28x9 mt slick.

Re: Unemployment...
 

Im on unemployment. Unemployment is nothing. Which is why I still do work 3-4 days a week. I only had one call about it the first time I drew. I told them Id have a damn job when Id had a job that pays me what Im worth instead of the untrained, no management ------ welders making $15/h, when I was working 40h/w @ 24/h + 10h overtime. Aint called me back in two months.
Unemployment is like working $6/h here regardless of how much you were making. Itd be hell if I wasnt picking up construction jobs, per-diem work and teaching afew high schoolers to weld :P


They should do something about unemployment. I mean cost of living down here is nothing, but I say if you are breaking 50,000 a year they oughta raise that ----...

Re: Unemployment...
 

Im in a 60-70K bracket and max it out (pretty sure up here you max at anything over 50 a year).... Comes out to be like 17.50 an hour after taxes and ----... I agree, sounds like your state needs to get their mind right...


Just the same, After a month or month and a half, im going ------- nuts. My manager wants to rehire me... SO I have a job still, just the MS gayness of the 100 day break... They have mentioned going perm... and Ive been aproached for vendor positions (not requiring the break, but still not perm)....Just not on the same team. Problem is team im oon ROCKS and everyone is super cool.... Ill have too take a couple classes... Right now Im maxing the STE3 pay scale... Next move up is a SDET position, need to get some c# and or VB scripting under my belt... I havent extensively written code since 1995 (C++)... LOL....

Illl have plenty of time on my hands to ---- with it in the 100 days though.... I alreasdy hack my way through... Need to get my mind right though


Just wish I could sign a realese stating I wont file any kind of bullshit about the temp statyus, but the class actionb suit against MS in 2000 fucked all that ---- off for good.

Re: Unemployment...
 

I can't think of any languages more faggoty-ass or lame than C-sharp or VB. What exactly do you do at MS, Spiker, provide comic relief? :l

Re: Unemployment...
 

Evidently, it seems you may not know what youre talking about here son.... Faggoty or not, the aforementioned and thorough knowledge of XML are HOT commodities on campus.... I dont make the rules, I just try to get away without following them as long as I can. Turns out, in order to advance my career, I need to learn that faggoty ---- to a better degree if Id like a permenant position at the evil empire (which I do)... As its been expressed by higher ups that they have an interest in me, I think that learning what they tell me to learn would not only be benneficial to my career, but my bank account as well....

Oh wait, im probably wrong...


Being that I work there and all... :X


Youre letting me down Joseph... Need to get your mind right....

:-*

I await your next 5:00 call with anticipation... I may even answer, I wont have much to do for the next little whhile
