Slightly off topic but I despise doing grammar homework sometimes.

Yes, there are jobs out there..just not the cushy high paying jobs. My husband always said if he lost his job he would work 3 crap jobs if he had to.

DH is the same way. at one point i was laid off and DH was looking into getting a second job at a coffee shop to pay the bills. luckily i found a job and he didn't have to.

 

[Pig Pen]

ouch

 

[DarthKTrava]

Not that impressed with this bunch. That one guy looked everywhere BUT at the judges.

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

well if you want them to remember the lyrics.....and that's the only way.....


i didn't know that wasn't allowed. but i guess i can see why it wouldn't be.

i kind of agree tho. there's ways to prevent it. DH and i have been together for 8 years now and we've managed to stay baby-free so far(we're waiting until we're a little more financially stable).

and yeah...i never get when people say that, either. it's always like they're "too good" for those jobs. i'm sorry....but working for a living to support your family....there's nothing shameful about that. i can respect that. even IF you're working fast food....sometimes it's the only way.

and it's different now, anyway. a lot of those places will actually help you out if you want to go back to school. they'll work around your schedule or they'll do some sort of scholarship so you can eventually get a BETTER job anyway.

One of my friends (I have known her for a very long time and she is an all around good person so I bite my tongue on this with her) had a baby the year after she graduated high school. Got welfare and got jobs at daycares where her child could be cared for for FREE. She didn't like how they cared for her so she quit. It happened several times with different places...nothing was good enough and she can't work in a store because the lights give her headaches..whatever.

Well, they go and have another baby last month. Now she refuses to work because they would lose benefits. The system is messed up but it's also just people with entitlement attitudes.

Rant over.

HE DOES! I knew he looked like someone I know or recognize but couldn't place. That's it!

...it's a VERY long story, but my sister(whom hasn't spoken to me in years....hence the "long story" thing) is the SAME WAY. she has two kids and she refuses to get a job. she once told my mother that she's "too overqualified for every job in this city"....i was like "really?? too overqualified?? considering she only has a GED...i'm pretty sure she's actually QUITE qualified for a lot of jobs, actually"



and back on topic, that last group was REALLY good!!

I hate homework in general but grammar homework sounds tedious.

And definitely not IT-related jobs. I've got a friend who's been out of work for 2 years now. He did work for the Census but that's been it. He coulda gone back to school and at least update his degree or try something else.

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

hahaha!! i liked that group! they were good!

 

[Mean Queen]

Is this another Norman Gentle, but milder?

Slightly off topic but I despise doing grammar homework sometimes.

I hate homework period.

i've been working in Office's for the past few years and i'm so tired of it at this point i'm actually thinking about going back to school. i mean...people forget it's YOUR life...if you want to change it, YOU have to. no one else is going to!

People like that are too much for me.

It is, I'm trying to do some worksheets for a test tomorrow.

I hate homework period.

amen!

 

[Mean Queen]

Writing the words on your hand. Though it sounded like it was more frowned on, since they said if he put it on his arm it would hide it better.

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

What's not allowed?

writing down the lyrics on your hand i guess

People like that are too much for me.

she's someone who feel VERY entitled to EVERYTHING. she thinks she should get things for free and not have to work for anything. her and i got into many arguments about that, that's one of the many reasons we don't even speak anymore. the world revolves around her, you know.
