Well I guess I'm gonna have to remove myself from this list, I took a spin into that machine shop today and came out 15 mins later with a job!! My old boss from the other machine shop is pretty high up at this place and took me right to the guy I needed to see, after makin sure that I would get hired for the best job they had available! Sounds like a great place, it's what I'm used to doing again, and the best part is that it's more money than I was making at the old place!! Can't beat that, after bein out of work for a couple years it's a huge break for me...

had my first bad expierence at work today, was getting an old man to draw blood from and when I opened up the package with my needle he freaked out and leaned up to me and punched me straight in the face. He is like 84 but my eye is a little blue from it, definately a first ever for that.

I've been laid-off twice in my life. The shortest was for two months and the longest was for four months. I learned to always have a financial safety net because unemployment doesn't pay squat and I don't want to/have to/or desire to rely on the charity of others. I don't like to borrow money, and there are no guarantees in life. The only one who cares about my well being is myself and no one else.

i am pretty good at saving money. i hate having to borrow money. usually i am the one that lends money out but when i borrow money it is not much. i had to borrow $20 from my dad to transfer my trucks ownership to my name. right now my one friend owes me $200. i know he has the money to pay me back but he has a extremely weird work schedule so it is hard to catch him while he is home.
