Well if they don't hire you, they are morons!! And you wouldn't want to work for morons anyway:)

To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.

Not looking for a job and sadly don't have one to offer someone ( we have been able to continue with our one employee thru this recession by the skin of our teeth ) but I wanted to wish everyone luck and send positive thoughts everyone's way.

Thought I would post an update, I started working again Aug 3. I'm grateful to have a job, but I want out of this one as soon as something better comes around.

Benefits are good, pay is ok, but its so high stress (and many of yall know I thrive in high stress) its making me physically sick.

but hey, I'm working. If I'm still here in a year I will have vacation, sick days & 401k. Starting next month I have health, optical and dental insurance (even if the deductible is stupidly high).

Congrats on the job, Artcat. Despite the high stress. *wince* I know right now a job is a job and gratitude for one is a must.

We've still got our one employee. Still holding on by the skin of our teeth. Things are a bit better though.

Good luck all Browncoats out there!

I wanted to make a suggestion for anyone who is out of work & looking....

If there is a Carmax dealership nearby, it is worth applying for a job. They have lots of positions other than a car salesperson, if that's not your cup o' tea. The company is stable and the benefits are outstanding.

Okay... is the Darkhorse comics position filled? cause wow talk about dream job

Two...

If you live in any states but AK, HI, NH, and CA... plus a few others (laws about it) I have worked for LiveOps.com since 2005. I'm not making fulltime wages but I'm paying bills at least.

You need broadband access, and a plain ole telephone line w/o bells and whistles.

It's something.

I manage the HR department for a large movie theatre in the Raleigh, NC area. Lots of part-time jobs (sometimes with full time hours) starting off at minimum wage. If you're looking for something, let me know.
