Truth! I got laid off from a $20/hour job and most jobs around here are for $12 max. My unemployment is $405 plus the fact that I don't have the expense of working and a couple payments are made because of ins coverage. Heck, I'm better off in a lot of ways... It's weird!

Fuck a stranger or give your self a "stranger."


I would get off of unemployement as soon as possible. They hold that against you when you retire and claim on your social security checks.

Thats me right there! though the $12 hour jobs are hard to come by now since vegas is in the crapper.

I still can't find enough time to do everything! I just got an extension for 7 more months after being unemployed for 6, and then after that the Federal state benefits kick in.

What do i do all day long? I go out and play. Hang out at the parks, hiking, working out, rode when it was still cool enough, go away for the weekends, do a lot of stuff i wanted to do but couldn't due to time constraints of working and chores on the weekend.

I decided to get a 2nd degree. Always wanted to go back to school for nursing but between taking care of my dad and then paying bills after he passed, i didn't have the time.

So now its a lot of studying. Plus lots of extracurricular reading- everything under the sun. Making plans to start another business. When school ends next week, i'll have 3 weeks of free time before the fall semester, so i'll try to start learning a new language.

Though my expenses are low so i can live off unemployment, the only thing i don't have is extra money to travel more.

So much to do, so little time! I fee like i have been given the gift of time!

Enjoy your time off Fleck!

It's not like any of us are going to see any of that SS money we've been paying into all our lives when we're old enough....it will all be pissed away by then.

Ya think?

They'll up the retirement age to 80 here pretty soon. I'm not living that long.

Plus with our wonderful socialized healthcare coming along we'll all die at 50 anyways.

Actually, it's all been pissed away already.

The unemployment thing really sucks. My condolences. I can't see being bored tho... if you need stuff to do, come on by, i've got projects backed up from here to the end of the world...

I hope you get an itch in your ear while you are riding...the kind of itch only a q-tip can get to...the kind of itch that makes you do something you are not supposed to do.
put something smaller than you elbow in your ear
