Before you know it, you'll be fermenting poutine for him!

And if he pays right, I'll even make the fries and gravy from scratch (and we MidWesterners make a mean gravy), and even learn how to make the cheese curds myself.

Been there for 10 years. And they did keep on a handful of guys. The handful stopped right at the guy just above him in seniority. Lovely huh?

I hated getting laid off, but it's part of the price associated with a free market economy. We just got told 20% pay cuts across the board, and if it's a problem, there's the door. he'll find other work. If not, I'm sure Wonder Woman could trick Superman into robbing a few banks for her.

Ew.

 

[4consideration]

Well, it's official, he's unemployed. Just perfect.

Sorry to hear that. Best wishes to y'all.

I've already found something that may be good for him to try for. I'm also looking for myself. Been out of the workforce for 10 years doing the mommy thing so work references will be difficult as a few places I've worked are no longer in business and we are talking ten years ago. I'm going to be heavily relying on college education and personal contacts. There are a few things I have a better shot at so I just have to start putting out feelers. What's going to be fun is that, before anything else, I have to drudge up all kinds of information long forgotten and reform my portfolio and work on my resume...thin as it may be now.

My resume......

My resume.....
-nothing that helps getting a job here because I didn't go to med school

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I think tomorrow when I see my job-skills lady I'm going to tell her I want to see someone else because I don't need help filling out job applications I need help doing job interviews.
I'm also going to find a different primary care physician because mine is just not willing to work with me, not with anti-depressants or anti-anxieties, and he wouldn't even call me in a prescription of miralax for me even though I told him I'm almost out and will probably most likely be needing more.

I did manage to do some character development today. I started the story maybe a couple of weeks ago when I was drunk, laid out some base stuff for it then, but today I developed the narrator some. He has nine jobs, four of which are criminal, he gives neo-Marxist rants that are heavily saturated with pessimism, and he decides a lot of people deserve to die as he forms a new world. He's also very highly intelligent, and he's going to eventually be killed by his best friend/ally, but the narrator is smart enough that he is able to extract revenge even in death. He's going to kill off televangelist types, corporate executives, and politicians en masse, and cryptic messages will abound. He's also a computer whiz who is also pill head who loves Xanax and Dexedrine.
And now he needs a nemesis. Someone who can't keep his noise out places where it doesn't belong. Someone who is going to die just because killing characters is what I do.

Ugh. I'm sorry to hear that.

Ack. So sorry to hear that.

I hope he finds something else soon. With his experience, he'll have good prospects, I'm sure.

Some of your parenting skills might be useful dealing with 6 ft tall children of which there are far too many.

It also sounds like a functional resume might be best for you. As someone who once hired people, I'd be happy to take a look at what you come up with and offer feedback.

Been 2 days of dealing with Apple support to get the software update I need, only to have them give me the ones I don't need...repeatedly.... ending with them saying.....hey you need this one...not those...which is exactly what I asked for in the very first conversation......

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I wonder if Alien would have been as good and as creepy had anyone other than HR Giger designed them?
Probably not.

I have been out of the workforce for so long I may just need some feedback and advice. I actually dread trying to fill out applications as I have no idea what to put. Of the last three places I worked only one still exists and I wasn't there very long at all. The other two were much longer but they both went out of business. Otherwise I'm having to reach back over 15 years to find work history and the chances of the same people working there aren't very good. I have experience in various fields and both college and military schooling. But the whole not working for 10 years, I don't think many employers look well on that.

First things first.......NERRRRDDDDD!!!!!!!

Of course, it's hard to imagine the aliens looking different.
But Stan Winston, who designed the predator in the eponymous movie, could'a done it.

But Predators don't have giant face hugging vaginas or phallic-looking heads with phallic looking "tongues" or whatever those things are.
And I wear your accusation of NERD with pride! Qapla'!

 

[Shadow Wolf]

And the Predators are just jealous because they didn't get the distinguished honor of getting their asses kicked by Ripley.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

And the Predators would cry as a Klingon said to it's face "Hab SoSll' Quch!" and there would nothing the Predator could do about it except be obliterated.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

It has occurred to me that maybe perhaps I watch too much Star Trek.
Nah. There is no such thing.
