Seems to be the general consensus. :rotfl:

So I got another phone call for a job interview today working for Virgin Airlines in Las Vegas. haha. I'm probably going to work both jobs for a bit just to build up my cash reserves again.

Building up cash reserves and paying off debt is awesome. Now that you have all these jobs lined up, its time for them to give you start dates. . .lol.

Definitely. Haha yeah, I'll get a start date for the one at Mandalay Bay Monday when the HR lady comes back from vacation and I have to wait for the hiring manager to call me for the Virgin Airlines one.

Well good. At least you are finding work. I have a friend out there who has been out of work since the insurance company he worked for closed their doors. about a year and a half. The biggest problem is he is too skilled for non-skilled labor (so they won't hire him because there are plenty of out of work peeps who will stay forever), and he is VERY specialized. Body Shop owner in the past and Insurance ReInspector. Its hard to find a job in your specialty when you are SOOOOO specialized. I am a nurse, RN with ACLS. . .any hospital will hire me just because I have a license. Not so for the car guy. . .
 
So I lied. It took 15 minutes to get to AK (the furthest park from home).

Lucky you! I could live with that.

He sure did. He made the paddles too. Haha yeah I hear ya there. I made one a few years ago. It was a lot of fun!

When I saw BMG I was thinking what a project to make one of those tubular instruments. Lots of cutting and glueing!

it looks like the weather is going to be perfect for hunting Faeries :thumbsup2:thumbsup2

Supposed to be a great weekend here also. Have fun!

Maybe you should start talking to girls who live in Florida. ;)

Good idea:)

Good luck!

Have a great weekend, folks. I will be running all over, tomorrow is a beerfest upstate, and Sunday I am going into the city with some newbies to do the Five Boro Bike Tour. 43 miles through all five parts of NYC. And then three days to prepare for DW!

That's the issue I was having. I still can't find anything for painting airplanes or in a composite shop so I know the feeling, although I've only been out for 6 months. I couldn't even land an interview for about 5 months and now I'm finding jobs but not in my career field. It's mainly customer service jobs. Oh well.

Haha I have the same thought every time I see them.

Thanks!

You too! Sounds like you'll have a blast this weekend!

The difference between you and my friend is that you are willing to take work that is available, even though it is not in your career field and not what you are used to getting paid. . .This is a VERY long story best told over drinks. . .

Also, if all goes well, I will be flying in to Vegas on June 7. Gotta go to my son's graduation on June 9 and then take him with me back to Florida. Staying one night at the Venetian. If you are not working, maybe I can coax you out for some Dicks debauchery?. . .lol. I got bartender friends there. . .lol.

This is very true. I'm just sick of not working ya know?

Awesome! Definitely let me know. I've actually never been to Dick's so I'm definitely down! I'll inbox you my cell number and my facebook.
 
wow... people are awfully quiet here the past couple days.... Then again, I think a lot of our group is headed to Florida (or in England for the wedding. ;) )



So looking at my available time off this year... and possible costs... I'm really leaning towards that trip the last week of September to catch the 40th bday. (and do HHN at Universal).

So now I'm actually looking at doing a split stay of sorts so I can get away with not renting a vehicle. Maybe do a night or 2 at WDW, move to Uni for HHN (and the post-party stumble to the hotel), and then back to WDW for another night or 2 before heading home.

Now I just need to wait for Passholder room discounts to be announced.

BUT.... I was wondering if anybody might want to share a room if I do this. Might make it easier to squeeze an extra day or 2 into the trip....or upgrade from a value to a deluxe. :)
 
On Wednesday, I slid into second base during a softball game. I left the skin from my knee to my ankle on one side of my calf somewhere on the base line. It has been causing me intense pain for the past 2 days. I've been spraying the hell out of it with lidocaine and keeping it elevated because the swelling has been causing the most pain.

This morning, the damn dog jumped on me and scratched the wound and blood poured out everywhere. Just when the pain started to become manageable, the wound is reopened and back to being incredibly painful.

So glad I bought the giant can of lidocaine.

I was really hoping to get my sons room remodeled this weekend. Looks like I'll be in bed watching movies. I hate when a weekend goes to waste.

I was hoping to head to Epcot tomorrow, but I'm afraid of my leg getting banged on something.

Free dining will be released on Monday from Aug 15ish to Sept. 24th. If you had free dining, maybe that would make your decision easier. Instead of getting a hotel at Universal, just cab it back to DW.
 
Oh, and in other news, pseudo-roommate moved out this weekend. So happy to have my house back. I never did do well living with others.

Woohoo! I wish I didn't need roommates. It was really nice for the month I went without having them but it just makes it easier to pay bills ya know?
 
Yeah, I suppose, but she lived here for free. So, I've been paying the bills like I always have. However, instead of feeding a family of 4, I am back to feeding a family of 2. It will actually be cheaper for me to have them gone, except they left the dog here. Not sure what I want to do about that. I've gotten somewhat attached.

I've been in that situation before. It definitely sucks. That'll definitely make it cheaper. Just buy cheap dog food. ol' roy at walmart is $15 for a 44lb bag. haha. Giving up a dog you've become attached to is hard. I had to leave my pup with my parent's in Tucson after I got laid off because I wasn't sure where I was going to wind up. Now that I'm staying in Vegas I'll be bringing him back home after the summer.

I am here and if you want to upgrade I will share. . .I don't do values anymore cause I need more space. . .lol.
Just need your dates so I can reserve the time off work. . .lol.
