BigFish just got gameful employment today!! Lucky to get it I guess as things are pretty bad out there! Money ain't great but it will help! Plugs don't pay the bills!:tooth:

Please don't tell me it's in the shipping dept of Acme fudge :hihi:

Lead bagger at Munchies Madness on the midnight shift

Shipping? I wish.....I will be working in the packing dept!:hidin:

Same dept I just didnt want to say it like that bro :lm:

Is the job market that tight though seriously?

"lemme guess... the new counter guy at DD's???" BON

Lumber and building materials at Lowe's! Gotta be near the wood!:bgi:

hehe wait til I come and mess up your piles :hee:

It really is that tough out there Scott. The market like everything else dictates the pay so so many people are looking for work.....the pay ain't too good! Not bad....but not good!

I'm thinking if it's that bad out there I should be looking for some machine talent to assist me right now.

You keep your hands out of my "piles"!:eek5:

I'm gonna come and have you cut 20 sheets of plywood into toothpicks one at a time :)

Seriously Larry hope it works out for you. It's very difficult to make money in this business esp when you have overhead. There's too many guerilla marketers and illegals out there to compete against. Some days I wonder why I do at all.

I am keeping it small Scott! I enjoy doing it and it is good money on the side. The tax BS makes it tough.......for the small amount of money I make at it in the course of a year I spend more time dealing with the friggin quarterly taxes and the Fed!:crying:

it is going to get worse, a lot of large companies are working off their order backlog and nothing is coming in. Unfortunately it appears to be global so there isn't any offset to a slowing US economy.
The crazy thing though is retailers are reporting being 5 pct off same store sales.
Cisco is downgrading earnings by 12 pct.
My un-named employer has also announced lower earning but about the same pct and is tightening things up

It's not big numbers outside of auto and financial sector but there seems to be rising tension everywhere.

haha! You wouldnt want to be me then :hee:

there would need to be 2 of me to be 1 of you

I'm tellin you American made PLUGS are a worthwhile investment. They appreciate like gold :hee:

Worked for HD for a year in the lumber dept Larry when they cut my OT.Was a good job no complaints lots of good co workers.Just be careful of the women that work there its tough on a married guy as they are aggressive.:shocked:

Sounds like benefits Lou!:humpty:

You carrying a banister in your pocket there? Let me see the tape measure

LOL lets see what you think after a couple of months.:hihi:

That's a mighty big banister for a big fish is that regulation size? :rtfm: :rotf3:

...

Sorry but that's just RIPE for photoshop :hee:

Give me Liberty
 

Larry, I'd rather work at that lumber yard in North Kinstown with that cute chick.

Really though, congrats.

1.2 million job losses this year through October, and I can't find a single qualified, reliable, part-time employee. And we pay decently well at the entry level for this field.

300 bucks for a Monster listing posted last week and not a single resume submitted.

A lot of people want full time, and also a lot of part time jobs don't come with medical...that could be a couple of reasons why.

post the info on it....somebody here might bite

for my commute, traffic is getting lighter and lighter, that's how I see the downturn.

Wow that is incredible. You'd figure if it was as bad as some say there would be a bunch of apps. What was the position?

495 still seems heavy
