You want fries with that?
I think I have to admit now that the chances of me getting an industry job are too goddamn slim to mention. Time to go grab myself a McJob and pray for something better to eventually come along.
So, if you’re hiring, you know how to find me. Just about anything other than hard labor at this point. (I’d do that, but my knees and wrists wouldn’t take it for long.) My non-industry job history includes washing dishes, flipping burgers, pumping gas, running a deli and some light carpentry.
This kinda shit just really pisses me off. Here I am, an IQ close to 140, a decent education and a ton of skills and I can’t find a fucking job because the economy went to shit. Our glorious president has granted tax cuts to companies who ship jobs overseas and refuses to acknowledge the fact that he is in that office to serve the people, not the corporations and has no fucking regard whatsoever for the poor schmucks like me who just want to go to work every day and earn a living wage. I don’t need to be rich, I just need to feed my kids, pay my bills and got out to dinner a couple times a month. Is that too much to fucking ask?
So, while I’m not above taking charity, I’d much rather work for it. Support your local Techie From Hell: break a computer. Back up all of your data first, then just right-click on your antivirus tray icon and select ‘disable’. Now, open up Internet Exploder and do a websearch for pr0n – that should do the trick.

Could it possibly be that you can’t find a job because employers fear having to provide benefits to all your “spouses”? Just a thought.

Gee, how much stupidity can you put into one sentence?
One, employers can’t ask personal information like that at an interview, so the first time it would ever come up is in HR when filling out the insurance forms – after I had been hired, and probably after a 30-day trial period.
Two, I currently only have one girlfriend, who is employed by the county with better benefits than I have ever had.
Three, the real reason I am unemployed probably has something to do with the fact that unemployment in Oregon jumped up to 7.4% in the last two months, due to our President’s wonderful handling of the economy.
If you have a well-formed opinion based upon real-world facts, reason and intellect, feel free to talk about it. If all you can think to say doesn’t require the use of your brain cells, by all means do me and your neighbors a favor and keep your trap shut.
Just a thought.
