You know what Sucks
When a friend who quit his job three years ago and didn't look for one for that time--don't ask he's kind of weird--gets a job--he started two weeks ago and I'm having a hard time. On a whim he decided to go get one and gets one. Some people have all the luck.
Just venting.

And we all wonder why they call the unemployed lazy and bums? Did your friend collect UI insurance? If he did, then he was making it bad for all of 99ers. JMO

Re: You know what Sucks
Yesterday, I responded for a job on Monster for my daughter who just graduated from High School to help her out. Would you believe in less then two hours later the manager calls up and wants to interview her.
I found the perfect position for her, less then 16 miles from home, did her resume and email to the manager of a legitimate employer. I am very happy for her.
However for many of us 99ers that totally sucks.
Perhaps, if these so called people who thinks we should get any job. Do what I did, even though it was out of love, but needed her to have some kind of income. Take the proactive route instead of the criticizing route then things might be better or there would be more understanding for unemployed. Either help out or shut up!

No, he didn't collect UI, he worked off the books. He used to work 60hrs a week but his boss used to only pay him for 45 or something, thats what he told me. Anyway the boss took advantage of him apparently and he got frustrated and quit. He lives with his parents. HS drop out the whole spiel but he lived a charmed life.

Good luck to your daughter! We have helped out friends and family since my husband's unemployment to keep busy. Everyone and his mother knows our situation. All we want is for these people to give back via employment contacts. We know they have them, but all they are concerned about are themselves. We feel like we have been used. My parents always taught me "ONE HAND WASHES THE OTHER." Guess that does not apply in the world we live in today.

Re: You know what Sucks
I know what sucks, but which one sucks worse, Barrack Obama as POTUS, or John Boehner as SOTH? Let's settle the matter over a round of golf. How much could that cost the taxpayers?
