What a time to be graduating college in the next couple of years!
Don't even get me started there.

Yeah, tough times. I was told back in October that our jobs were only guaranteed until April... I may be laid off soon too.
I hate interviewing. Hopefully things will change. If I am laid off I may go in an entirely new direction.. tired of an office job. I just don't know what that direction is yet
I just took a job working in Afghanistan...BIG paychecks...you can stay a year...or you can stay as long as you want.Yeah, tough times. I was told back in October that our jobs were only guaranteed until April... I may be laid off soon too.

It's not for everybody...but if you are about to be out of work and want to make a LOT of $$ in a year...might be a direction...

well because we had partied ourselves out so we could focus.
Amen. I used to feel so guilty for not getting through college in the "expected" time or not doing what everyone else is doing ( steady job, family, etc...) I screwed around in dead end jobs for a few years, partied my ass off, lost all of my "friends" and then got on track to what I'm sure is a successful life. I wish the best for everyone but I can't even estimate how many people come up to me now and say I wish I would have done something different, something similar to you. (paraphrase)
so far so good. I'm finding out that our terrorist...friends are...fair weather terrorists...they like to do their evil in the warm months...How safe is it?
kinda the same. All my friends are married, with kids...the 'normal route'...I kinda wish I had that....but life is what it is.Amen.

Wow, I didn't know you were overseas.so far so good. I'm finding out that our terrorist...friends are...fair weather terrorists...they like to do their evil in the warm months...
I live in a 'camp' roughly the size of a neighborhood block or two.
When I get my lap top up n running (I fragged the power source enroute) I'll get some pictures up loaded.
The camp I'm at is a fairly safe place. (knock on wood) In other camps everbody has to wear their full 'battle rattle' (armour) in certain areas...mine is put away and most likely wont be touched again till I turn it in.
(Actually...its about 40lbs or so with the kevlar bullet proof plates in the vest, so I may wear that when I hit the track..)

oh yeah...I went to Afghanistan...Wow, I didn't know you were overseas.
I am not jealous of these construction workers. I have seen them working in very extreme wheather in summer. I wonder how much damage it would cause to their health in the future. I am just glad that atleast these hardworking people are getting some extra cash in their pocket to take care of themselves. But I really feel jealous of those CEOs of big corporations who get millions of dollars as bonus. Bonus for what..doing what they are supposed to do?I guess I'm just jealous. Wish I only had to work 6 months then collect 80% of my income the rest of the year.

CEO's getting million dollar bonuses and golden parachutes for failing. Who in their right mind pays someone for doing a miserable job and failing? More suits just scratching each other's backs while we pay for it!
I've seen first hand what they do to a good thing, They screwed up Motorola. It was a great job when I first started back in '86. Now it sucks.
You do have some people who think they deserve that money. B_ _ _ _ _ s
Man you been there a while. I bet you have a nice retirement though. Stock options? Motorola has changed a lot in the past 10 years.
I may be wrong, but I doubt Motorola has a retirement plan, as most companies do not.
They made us into sub-contractors, I was there 4 1/2 years just months of being have vested. They let us go 2 days before christmas.
I have some money from my 401k but I really left with nothing.
I got lucky and got a job with the NYTA. Great benefits, retirement and a decent union.
Never again would I work for a private company unless I have a stake in it.
