So my company isn't doing that well in this down turn. This BKs me. My father isn't doing that well either right now. I know he is way smarter than I am and he has a lot more charisma than me. This make me feel nervious. Am I next? It seems like everyone is either losing their job or their house. My friends all say, "you worry to much". Honestly? I don't think they worry enough. Everyone is making a big deal about the election right now and not focusing on the main issue. It shouldn't be whether our president is black or white. It should be what he plan to do about our serious dept. I can't imagine what the depression of the 30s was like. I think this is pretty terrible now. Do you think the people of the 30s knew things were that bad back then? Did they know it was the "great depression"? Cause what if we're next. I get nervious now. I think to myself almost everyday, what if I lose my job? How would I be able to find replacement quickly. The job market overflooded with applicants right now. And well, I was no shining academic star in my previous years. Oh sure, I could turn on the charm but I really hate doing that. Feels like I'm selling a bit of my soul for a job. Also with a new job you have to start from the bottom if you're lacking in the degree deparment. This frustrates me to no end. I hate having to compete to have a decent living. Life should be fun and we should be able to study what makes us happy. Unfortuntly usually what makes you happy isn't what pays the bills. Guess what day today is? Bill day.

Re: Work talk
yeah- the economy is in the crapper right now.  the problem is that it has to get worse before it can get sustainably better.  and there needs to be a serious change in the mindset of the american people.  there's an old analogy about how when you're dying of thirst a glass of water is worth more than diamonds.  well, economically we're beginning to get pretty fucking dehydrated.  the problem is that ours and the generation after us and the one before us are so focused on the hollywood lifestyle that we've actually come to look down upon real laborers.

Pop quiz:   who is more appealing-  a professional welder or a professional athlete?

That welder is a thirst-quencher for a rapidly dying economy...

The real problem is that the issue with the american mentality is two-fold:  not only do we find production jobs to be "beneath us", we also just don't like to work with our hands.

Pop quiz part deux:  where does wealth come from?

The production of goods.  Harvesting raw materials or turning raw materials into refined products.  That is the creation of wealth.  As is, the vast majority of americans work in the service industry.  We are making wealth, we're using wealth...

 

I was about to go into how this transition happened...  but I get the feeling I'm ranting...

So...  move to ireland with me?  :-)

Re: Work talk
yeah that was exactly what I was saying.....and the exact reason I'm worried......people don't seem to see what is coming.....that is scary and that will make things worse. That is one of the reasons I didn't vote......cause I hadn't heard wnough about what their plans were to fix this. Sure based on all the mud slinging on TV I had formed an opinion of who I wanted but how much of that would really matter in this issue.....we're in serious trouble and no one can see past the glitz to it. So yeah have to post pone my surgery unfortunetly......as much as I want beautiful new ta tas (and god damn it that is a bruetal thing to wait over 10 years for something you want)......they're less important to me than maintining a healthy life style for me and my cats.

 

No need I now exactly how it happened. It is the reason I am the way I am.....I hate that every other girl I see is obessed with statis and money. People should be focusing on the quality of life not how glamerous it is. That was my point of this entire post......glad someone else agrees......that is one of the reasons I like you so much.

 

And yeah I've been wanting to move somewhere far away for a long long time also I kinda adore Ireland sooooo yeah. Ok......as soon as you marry me. No offense but I don't want to be overseas with just a boyfriend......maybe a fiance......but overseas life requires major commitment.

Re: Work talk
the problem is that there's precisely jack shit anyone can do about... maybe if MTV started running advertisements for trade unions... or if there was a reality show on the good life of being a factory worker... 

 

I'm thinking ireland for two reasons- one, you look like you have a potential to have some black-irish heritage which would make citizenship a hell of a lot easier (always scheming I am).  two, ireland is know for good potatoes.  three, it's perfectly set up for a mid-life crisis:  plenty of booze and lots of skeezy redheads...  :-)

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
yeah agreed i want to move.....

 

yeah maybe.....finding out my heritage is a little impossible since I don't talk to my real mother.....and yes Ireland sounds like heaven.....I love their grass it's soooo pretty and those rolling hills are beautiful.....I've always wanted to visit there.....and hey no skeexy redheads for you!

Re: Work talk
I completely understand the feeling... I'm probably the best versed of anyone I know of the requirements different countries hold for residency and/or citizenship...  sad, eh?

 

Not to mention their in the EU... which means epic health care... and, you know, it's one quick trip to amsterdam :-P

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
nope just something else i like about you

 

you don't have to sell me....im already sold on the idea  

padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
you need to take that money you've been saving up and invest in better taste in men...

 

who said I was trying to sell you... I'm still selling me on it not being australia (motorcycle weather 10 months out of the year... epic.)

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
are you saying i should buy a man?

 

australlia is nice too.....mmmmm beaches.....I really want to live within waling distance from the beach....ahhhhh I love water.

padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
that might be a better investment for ya...

 

the only problem there is nation-wide censored internet and spider... big mother-fucking spiders...

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
you annoy me when you put down on yourself.....I have made a selection based on my wants and needs and you fit the bill so deal with it. i like you.

 

eek.....ok well that is out.....how about hawaii?......it's not out of the country but it'll feel like it

padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
just wait...  I'm still convinced I'm just not pretty enough...

but then I'd be lynched... you see, UH is one of BSU's rivals... and... yeah...  I'd have to represent :-P
crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
well, if you think that and you really want me, you shouldn't remind me that if you want to keep me! Duh! And you and I are aound the same range. I'm not a traffic stopper sweety.  So don't worry about being pretty. I've been with some very pretty men before and believe me they're not all they're cracked up to be.......standing in the mirror trying to profect their perfect look everyday......that gets old watching it.

 

lol  then what about clearwater florida.....I hear it's beautiful there........white sand and crystal clean water also within driving distance of mexico......

 

 

padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
"I've been with some very pretty men before"... thanks...

 

uh... not to be a douche- but exactly what part of florida is close to mexico?  :-P

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
jeeze mr sensetive if I wanted to be with them I would be. those guys were A-holes though. All I was trying to say is there isn't gonna be some fabeo that comes alond and lures me away like you seem to think is gonna happen. besides didn't you say you'd been with multiple girls out of your range? so doesn't that mean multiple pretty ones for you too?

 

I said "within driving distance" douche. guld coast......easliy within driving distance of mexico.....or boating damn.

 

padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
just sayin'- you continue to reinforce the point that you hold a preference for "pretty" men...

 

and dude, even westernmost tip of florida is still about 600 miles or so from mexico as the crow flies...  so yeah, I'm not buyin' it.  :-P

but the proximity to disneyworld... well...  pretty sweet perk...

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
no I did.....but that changed. I met a decent guy. And well I'm not the person I was 10 years ago.....same for you right? I thought Q was a decent guy that is why I went out with him.....I actually didn't find him that attractive....

 

Image Preview.....yeah I've been wanting to take a vacation there for so many years.......and well the thing is with florida ......is it's old people rap. Everyone says they retire there. Makes me feel old but god damn......crystal clear water means you can see exactly what is beneath you....and I bet they'd have coral reaths and star fish......we I was young my only goal in life was to live at the beach .....I had planned on opening up a parking lot and just chillin in the booth for a job......would have been sweet.....and would have been my own boss......open and close whenever I wanted.....

padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
*facepalm*

 

I'm trying to picture you as the parking booth lady... and it's...  well...  

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
what does that mean? on both accounts.....
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
you're not helping...

 

and the parking ladies I've seen are... well...  maybe if we get you simultaneously hooked on meth and twinkies for a couple decades...

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
well then I don't understand how to help my point was I do find you attractive....more than my last man soooo don't worry.

 

nah dude it would be awesome......stroll into work.....smoke a little weed......read a little......watch a little tv..... listen to the radio......watch the sun go down.......it'd be awesome.....I'd be really really happy cause that job would rule.

padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
I'm so not buying that one... and I'm an impulse shopper...  but that's neither here nor there...

 

sounds like it might get old after a while, though...  maybe if you hired lackeys... like, get interns from the local college's business department...  you know, to get ice cream and/or pepsi as needed...

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
hhhhuuuuu...... he wasn't my type ..... he was more for my father ..... I tried a "good guy" for my father. "good guy" in my father's terms means.....no green hair and no piercings.....with money. and it didn't work out between us cause he wasn't my type. you are my type.

 

see you want the job too! yep that was my dream......that and to live on a boat house......or a foriegn country

padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
yeah... I just really don't want to know anymore...

 

now the boat house I can see... (my childhood hero lived in a boathouse and I've been intrigued ever since)- like you said before, you can just pull anchor and sail away...  and there's the gentle rocking of the water... the ever available fishing...  the access to international waters- with all your stuff readily available...

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
just saying i find you very attractive.

 

yep that is why its a dream

padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
when you get time- roll back over this conversation and you'll (probably) see why I'm perfectly fine just letting this topic die...

 

have you looked into it, though?  some dreams aren't terribly far out of reach...

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
nope to lazy.....and i don't think i can have cats on the open sea....
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
why?  if you can have cats in an apartment- why not on a boat?
crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
they'd fall in....
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
bah...  do they fall out the windows? 
crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
no but there is a screen.....they knocked one out one time....
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
maybe there was a bird down below that was teasing them and they were trying to deliver death from above?

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
I don't know but they slam into the window pretty hard sometimes....probably how they knocked the screen out
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
so you're gonna have to just tolerate me if I'm all tore up and just wanna watch the cats...  I'm sure I'm gonna be totally transfixed by them for at least a little while...
crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
that's fine they're pretty fun sometimes......I have a bucket of toys.....I like to go to pet smart and visit the kitties there and buy more toys for my boys.....they like it.
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
I love pet stores...  for some reason I can't shop for gifts for people- but pets... oh yeah.  reason number 3374 that I love dogs- we totally have the same taste in toys:  is it chewy? is it fluffy? does it make noise?  will it fit in my mouth?  sold!
crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
lol so saturdays and sundays they have the SPCA there with their animals that are up for adoption......sometimes they have dogs too.....sooo if you want we could go Sunday after you get here......but we'd have to get up around 10 or 11.
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
uh... I'd say let's play that one by ear... you know... if you're not too sore to walk :-P
crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
what? after you only being here for a few hours? aren't you getting here at like 11 or 12.....and won't you be all sleepy? i don't think you'll be wearing me out the first night.....then again it will be the first night in bed together....soooo idk....
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
I won't lie... as long as it's been, nah- wouldn't be wearing you out... :-P
crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
see ........so we can plan for puppies and kitties the next day right?
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
again- we'll see... that'll still be like ass-o'clock in the morning...

but I do so love little cuddlies...

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
yeah plus we can get some toys for the boys.....it would be fun
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
I dunno... first public outing together... sounds intimidating...
crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
that is why they're be puppies and kittyies.....something that we both love and we'll have something fun to talk about.....and finding a toy for my little buddies to enjoy is always fun....
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
alright... but be forewarned- taking me in public to a place where there's things I can get in trouble with is ill advised...

 

(FYI: I'm now checking out the Idaho humane society website... think I might swing by and wrestle with some dogs after school...)

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
lol see you want to do it too
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
umm... duh.

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk

padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
sound fucking fantastic to me...  I just want as much time as possible to get inside your head... and not think about work or school :-)

crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
I plan on treating those days like regular days sorta.....so yeah we'll be roaming aimless around town and drinking alot...lol
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
I love it when you talk dirty to me :-P
crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
ehh figured your more interested in my daily life than something made up for your entertainment
padresmokey on
Re: Work talk
very much so.  that, and it leaves us a bit more flexible for spontaneous acts of whateverness...  
crashndizzy on
Re: Work talk
see that is fine with me. I can be spontaneous too. I just like to plan certain things to ummmm.....own them.

Re: Work talk
Worry prepares us... but it tortures us too. Once you're prepared anyway it can't change the outcome if you did worry... or at least if you weren't worrying you'd be more able to be naturally charismatic anyway and stand a better chance. It's a shame that by preparing ourselves more for something we might hinder our own chances in that way... but it's not a very understanding world. I hope it goes well for you
Perhaps have a few other job applications out there just to give you a little bit of security, or do a part time in addition
