Thanks for the kind words, Nitefall. I truly appreciate it.

Best of luck, Neil; you've got the tenacity.. what you choose to do, you'll excel at.

I love how our evolving technology is putting so many people who are still young (in their fields, at heart, literally.. or all three) out of business; "new toys" are fun, but keeping our nation employed is far more important.

I'd love to be able to get Unemployment, but I can't since I still manage to swing 2-3 vo jobs a month, which disqualifies me. Once I get a local Agent, that number will improve.

My main goal is to get another teaching position, but that's a long road since I'm "new" again to CA.; I'm still doing my courier business, but at this point I'd take a hotel job again, or stock shelves or something.

Figuring out that there's no harm in looking for work that you're overqualified for... money is money.

Thx much Argonus..
I wish places would quit telling me I'm over qualified, like McDonald's, WalMart or Sub Way...
I would also love to find a job, that's not asking me to break my back,
like lifting 75lbs all day long for 7.25hr, Hell I did it when I was a kid,
I can't do those types of jobs any more and support my family
Hell... fuel is killing me too, I've had to decline a few jobs, paying min wage because
after I fuel up to go to the city from my town, my pay check would almost be gone.
I wish our government would figure something out and soon..
I wish you the best.. and good luck !

I have no idea what I'll end up doing (but I'll be very grateful as long as I'm doing something).

Good luck to you guys.

rilynil.. Never give up... be well, hope you find something real soon, maybe something better

Wow. Sorry to hear about the hard times that some of you guys are going through right now. Just know that you're taking it much better than I would've in your shoes.

Keep your chin up and always remember that every cloud has a silver lining.

All the best, my friends!

Anytime, my friend. Have things picked up yet, Neil? Will pray that we will make it through the tough times for all of us soon.
