Ya I did'nt really think about that but all it would've done is keep me ion my crappy job anyways. I've already been offered two positions with former employers and I just completed an online application for another position at a local shop that is only 4 miles from my house and I hava a few friends that work there and have already talked to their boss about me. That's not a guarentee that I'll get the job there but it is promising since I have an in with my friends being employed there. I've been toying with the idea of getting a new job recently anyways due to the lack of pay with my now former company and the shiet that I was having to deal with there over the last couple of months.

you can still file a complaint, the state will investigate them and be up their butt... trust me i did it to another job for unpaid wages.... then of course they disputed, and then i disputed that.... went back and forth for almost a year... i was happy to be a thorn in their side for that long... fuggers

I've got a thousand other things going on in my life to be more concerned with than being a pain in the **** to a company that I no longer work for. Although, as comforting as that would be, I just don't care enough to deal with that on top of all the other crap I have to deal with right now. Just seems too much of a hassle I guess.

LOL mike. I would have really thought twice before quitting a job before getting another one unless the boss was just gang banging you that is not a hot female. There's just no way I would quit unless I had another job guaranteed lined up already. It's tough out there now days.

Q speaks the truth !

Definitely hard out there to find anything decent. I'm not talking about a $8.00-$10.00 or maybe if your lucky a $15.00 per hour job.

It's harder out there to find a good decent Salary paying job.

I wish I could just retire already....$hiet I've been working longer than some of you guys have been alive.

that aint no lie... one thing you might want to invest in is a resume writing service. i did it and that is how i landed this job... i asked for 45k based on hourly, they gave me 55k based on hourly. the place i used you email them your current resume, they call and talk to you some, write it, send it to you to proof and make edits. when i posted it up on career builder i started gettting a ton of calls. best $100 i have ever spent

I am so ready for Friday. So have we decided where to meet Friday morning? I think last time it was down by 35w and 121. That works fine for me, anybody no a good easy place to meet?

I also got the other three parking tickets for us so where set. If you havent followed the Facebook page for COTA it looks like the parada laps will be Sunday morning. They offered some laps on Sat but they want 100 bucks. Sunday will be free.
