TOPIC: Looking for work again

Thanks everybody!<br /><br />Yes of course there could be something better just over the hill.  But it is no fun getting there and then worrying that I can't get the time off for GenCon.<br /><br />I just might have to take something temporary and be sure I get time off for the CON!<br /><br />Ah well - I guess I have time to figure all that out.<br /><br />Thanks again.<br />G

{{{{HUGS}}}}<br /><br />Unemployment can be very difficult. I've been picking up part-time stuff here and there, but going over a year without a "real job" has been tough. I'm really trying not to have to go back full-time, if I can get the chainmaille biz profitable. <br /><br />Anyway, lots of *find a great job with time of for GC* thoughts coming your way.

Gary,<br />    Good luck with your job search!  I'll be thinking lots of good thoughts for you.<br /><br />Kim

Good luck, Gary.<br />David

My personal plan is to hit the lottery. I just need to start buying lottery tickets and get the ball rolling. It's just hard to get started after calling it a tax on the stupid for so many years.

Good Luck, Gary!

total bummer. good luck with the hunt.

<br /><br />I've always called it the tax on people who failed 7th grade math.

some friends and i would turn it into a party.<br /><br />step 1. buy lotto tickets.<br />step 2. get snacks and beer.<br />step 3. head over to friends house.<br />step 4. play cards or watch a ball game on tv.<br />step 5. go around room and tell what we would do if we won.<br />step 6. if anyone repeated what they had said from the previous week/party,<br />          they were stripped and locked out of the house. <br /><br />good times. did i mention there was lots of beer involved? 

Thanks again everybody...I guess what makes this time so much worse is I kinda liked it at Sprint.  Granted the company is not looking so good to the world right now - but we had a good team (had as in 3 out of 5 of us are gone now).<br /><br />Anyways, I'm torn with starting over in perhaps a new industry - as Telecom has just been too crazy a ride.  The longest I have ever been with one company is 3 years - RIFs are rampant and almost a yearly tradition at most companies.<br /><br />oh well "cest la vie"

*HUGS*

Gary,<br />    You have great people skills.  That's an invaluable commodity in today's workforce and somebody is going to realize and recognize that.<br /><br />Kim
