    Talking Back on the chain-gang!

    I'm once more amongst the steadily employed. Yay! (And it only took 16 1/2 months... ) It's part time on the weekends, but the hourly rate is enough that I'll be making the same per month that I did at my last steady job. Whoo-hoo!

    Thumbs up

    As one who was unemployed over the summer, congrats!

    Oddly enough a friend of mine (and member of my gaming group) who has been out of work since last April just received an offer from my employer. Referral bonus time!!!

    There was a period this summer that every person in our group was unemployed.

    Thanks. Joys of living in New Orleans. Jobs are a scarce as hen's teeth, but at least everyone drives like a drunken idiot, even when they're sober...

    Good work if you can get it. Mind telling me what you are now doing? Making the same PT, on weekends yet, that you made FT.

    Tech support for a hospital, pulling 12 hour shifts. I suppose I should point out that my last full time job at a computer shop paid close to fast-food wages... But like I said, the job market here really sucks. Especially for computer jobs. What can you do?

    I count myself as fortunate that I just passed (2 days ago) the 18 year mark on the job
