So I think I lost my job today...Follow

Good advice, but....hmmm.

No go. The Armed Forces and johnnyhammer go together like.....well, like cookies and ***.

Thanks for the tip tho^^

It worked for me.

Seems like a majority of people here are voicing the same opinion:

1) Keep the job til you get another one. You will continue to get money while holding out for (hopefully) a better job than you could get in a day.

The added benefit of the first one is this, which I also agree with:

2) They fire you so you can recieve unemployment while you look for something else. You can even help them reach this decision by slacking off or pissing on your manager's desk.

If you absolutely cannot stand another minute of this job, as you seem to be saying, and are willing to sacrifice money for peace of mind, do this:

3) Get wasted off your *** tonight with the remainder of your paycheck. Recover from your hangover tomorrow and sit on your *** all day reveling in the fact that you are done with this sh*t job. On the third day, start looking for work.

Good luck man.

As Much as i Despise you. I do feel bad for you.

This is why bush must go he rewards companies with tax breaks for outsorcing jobs.

I knew it was only a matter of time. Yes, Pieman, you hate me. So be it. I brought it upon myself. I should NEVER have argued so vehemently against something you said, no matter how horrible and disgusting it was. Oh well. I did what I felt was necessary.

And yet you felt the need to drag your hatred of me into another thread....good call.

Nevermind, I'm at peace now. Even with you, Pieman.

I forgive you.

Oh, one last thing!



Save the pity, Pieman. I don't need it, or want it.



I got canned yesterday.

***** 'em.

Today, I caught on with my dad, plumbing, of all things.

I'm damn good at it. I've done it since I was 13, on and off.

'Course, he and I don't always see eye to eye, but.....hell, cross that bridge when you come to it, eh?

I dunno, it's not glamorous, but everyone needs a plumber, right? Regardless, it's steady work, and it's not in a bloody factory.

Good advice from all, though. I'm going to check around, take some night courses, maybe. We'll see.

Thanks to all who contributed advice, comfort, etc. For what it's worth, it meant a lot. You really DID make me feel a little better. That was awesome, my thanks to you^^

Hey, glad to hear you went to work again right away. Sounds like maybe your old man was waiting in the wings for a chance to put you to work with him anyway.

Since you apparently already know of the mixed blessings of working with family, I won't even go into that.

Best of luck, and try to show only enough crack to get good tips.

Hehe, I was blessed to grow up on a farm, and then get stuck building a lot of greenhouses for my grandfather. So I have lots of experience with plumbing, electrical, and carpentry.

I can fix most anything around the house. It just has never seemed very complicated, though I suppose it would if you had no background.


**** flows downhill, for the record.
