WHY I WILL NOT VOTE THIS YEAR

Myself -- | 4/6/2004 | migjagger

Thanks for your reply. Most companies only list their email addresses. When you call personally they're cagey. It's very frustrating. The retail job I had has now instituted a "contract" that you have to sign. It tells you that if you don't sell a certain amount per week, you're out. This is abusive! Get a heart, people. I'm not the only one in this situation. Bush will NOT get reelected. Believe me. I will not vote for Kerry either, so I will refrain from voting for the first time in my life.

Are you not going to vote because you got an email???

Crapola and garbage. Lots of it depends on what you actually do! I was laid off in May of '02. Walked right into a better job two weeks later. I recruit for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry and let me tell you, I have companies knocking at my door looking for good people. We've recruited for nearly 200 jobs just since the beginning of the year.

[Richard Kimball]

That convinces me. None of the smart people are voting this year.

Sorry, but gimme a break. I've had work. I've been out of work. Even during the Jimmy Carter years, when unemployment was significantly higher than it is now, I've been able to find something to do. It may not be what I want to do, but it puts food on the table and pays the bills.

"If you're relying on a South American woman for your information about the American economy and Dubya's electoral fortunes then I'd say that it is probably for the best that you don't vote."

DING DING DING!

This is a personal statement.

1. Whatever happened to the FR rule against vanity posts?

2. Ask me if I care if you vote or not. [HINT: NO!]

.....uhm.....

.....i didn't get "lucky" last night.....

.....so i'm not gonna eat today.....

.....(oh, and it aint personal!).....

In what field are you looking for employment, technical, clerical, profession, labor, farming, what?

I don’t know if I buy this jobless scenario or not. Is it media driven?

Every Sunday, the local Milwaukee newspaper’s employment section has thousands of jobs available covering all of the categories that I listed above.

[American_Centurion]

Well obviously there's no changing you mind unless I get President Bush to personally call you and offer you a job.

Wait right there, I'm on the phone with him now.

Pleasssse! People whining about being unemployed is hockey! Whining because you have to freelance for a while! Geez! If life was really that tough, you would sell your house and move, instead you come here for a pity party.

Oh, this isn't an attack, its a personal statement.

[NCPAC]

You will not vote this year because you don't have a job? Hmmm,...perhaps if only those people who had jobs did vote, we'd have a much freer country. Maybe your idea of non-voting due to unemployment is one whose time has come.

Seriously, a non-vote is a pro-terrorist vote. Being unemployed in a basically free country still beats being unemployed while wearing a birka (with or without high heeled pumps).

[freeangel]

Geez, that was my first thought for this person also. We have friends who work for companies that are based in cali and their companies are getting ready to flee that state because of the hostile climate there. However, those who are willing to relocate will be keeping their jobs.

[anniegetyourgun]

Voting would undoubtedly take too much time away from your job search anyway.

[Skooz]

Bush will NOT get reelected. Believe me.

I'll bet you 1 million dollars that he will.

[Clifdo]

Just another personal statement - you are an idiot!!!

[bonfire]

Let me explain:

Her life sucks and it's all Bush's fault.

The end. :)

[small voice in the wilderness]

It doesn't matter what the Chilean woman says. What does Tova of Biloxi see in your cards? Puh-leaze. Get a grip and a clue.

[snooker]

Turn off that TV. Step away. You will be fine.

I will bet you feel better already.

[thoughtomator]

I'm not in an ideal situation, myself, but I'm not going to take out my frustration on the rest of the world by giving the Democrats the opportunity to win. Remember we're in a war for the survival of our civilization here. You're not going to get any job at all if you're dead at the hands of Islamists.

From an email address alone you should be able to figure out the physical location of the company, if not also the name of one or more people at the company. Do a domain lookup and find out the info you need. Perhaps doing so will demonstrate to prospective employers that you have a level of resourcefulness that can be useful to them.

You only need one "yes", so don't be discouraged by even a hundred or more "no"s.

Do you take credit cards?
