  • Wish I had a job...

     11-14-2009, 11:38 AM

    I don't feel like I can justify buying any cigars right now since I'm unemployed, and I don't know if i'll ever be able to get another deal on Gurkha Symphonies as good as today's daily deal.

    Does anybody else ever have that dilemma? It makes me so sad...

    Trust me, you will. I know how you feel but those great deals do come back around. Best of wishes with your employment situation.

    Hey Jay, a few of us understand. I feel foolish about my purchases the past few months. Hopefully all of us looking find something. Maybe one of us can win the Powerball and hook some BOTL up. I know I don't know guys here too well and have been a member a short time but I swear from my heart if I won I would share the wealth and hook some BOTL up.

    I am thinking about going back into law enforcement. I miss it most days. Greatly rewarding if you don't care about being poor and having crap benefits.

    Actually in this area it pays well and the benefits are good. On our retirement package the city matches us $2 to every $1 we invest up to somewhere around 6% I think. You won't get rich doing this if you are a one income family like I am, but we survive pretty well.

    I wish alll of you guys the best of luck in your job search. I know it's tough right now and I hope and pray for the best for all of you.

    Automotive/Mechanical Engineering. I was working as an engineering lab technician/manufacturing engineer and going to school for a while, but more recently just working as the lab tech because I haven't been able to afford school. This past summer though my company closed and I was out of a job.

    I've been sending my resume out and interviewing and everything, and I've had a couple decent prospects but I haven't been offered a position anywhere yet. I wouldn't mind moving though, so if anyone has any leads, that would be AWESOME.

    Fortunately for me though, before my company closed they applied for TRA Benefits, and now I can go to school for something else in an expanding field and the Feds will foot the bill. I still haven't quite decided what, but I'm leaning towards Surgical Technician. I did some job shadowing a couple weeks ago and between Respiratory Therapy and Scrub Tech, the tech was a lot more interesting. I still want to shadow a RN and maybe Nuclear Med Tech, but at this point I think scrub tech is where I want to go.

    EDIT: It sucks too because i'm lonely, lol. <-- sad bacon
