It's quotes weekend! What are your favorite quotes? Some of my favorites:
"I see America, not in the setting sun of a black night of despair ahead of us, I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God. I see great days ahead, great days possible to men and women of will and vision." --Carl Sandburg
"It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them." --Mark Twain
"Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love." --Jane Austen
It's cool here, but it's not that bad. We actually had sunshine and blue skies today. I took a 3.6 mile walk. It's the first time I've been able to take that walk in about four weeks. It felt good to get out, and I saw a few birds. I didn't see any mascot, but I'm sure he'd be happier here than there. You need to keep your feet and little birdie's feet warm tonight.
My money is that it's rzez.
it's a photoshop...
Officially, I'm not looking for work right now. I was referring to the 90's when I spent a seven month period in 1994 and 1995 and another six or seven month period in 1999 looking for work. I sent several hundred letters during that time, and I received about 200 rejection letters. I've been fighting with my employer over pension benefits for six months. That issue seems to be resolving, but I'm not sure yet how it will resolve. I may make a few discrete calls to headhunters to see whether I could do better somewhere else. I'm not officially on the market right now, but I'm at a point where I wonder whether I shouldn't spend the rest of my career with my hand on the market's pulse a little better.

Ah, you're quick. Yes, it is Jon.
There are no birds--the only lake that's not iced over is Lake Michigan--and considering what the utilities do, let's just say I'm not surprised...
I have been doing this on and off since May! I worked for a temp agency for 2 months, and the company that I was lent out to let me go because I knew too much! (Management made some bad errors and were blaming the temps for it and the loss of a huge account because of it.)
From there I worked as ascheduler on a political campaign...but the election ended that.
I was in another place in Iowa for 2 months...they let me go for voicing in an email that I felt my work ethic was being attacked. I was being told to NOT do so much!!
So...here I am...signed with a couple temp agencies, and looking again.
moral of the story, keep my mouth shut!? Maybe I was getting too much positive input from the clients I was working with! Truly, I was getting it from the clients, and they would give the same feedback to others who took their calls.
I am weary of it, but still plugging along. What was funny is one place sent me 3 rejection letters! I think I got the point!LOL
I don't wish unemployment on anyone. Add to the fun I was $300 short in one quarter and so I don't qualify for unemployment!! LOL
God definitely has me walking and living by faith, one day at time, one step at a time!
back to the grind stone! later all
praying for a GOOD resolution to your issue.
...where in the world is stout?!
Has anybody checked the grassy knoll?!
Hey! Jon is pretty cute...I think he wants us to know that...[wellll, in a gory kinda way~~~smile~~~]
**Jon is pretty cute**
I totally knew that. :)
cha-ching!!
Well, if the gory, but good-looking, guy in post #410 didn't murder the thread, then I guess I did... ;)
I promised myself that I would get to bed earlier tonight...been staying up tooooo late just foolin' around...
Later, all. :)
Goodnight
I'm off to bed too. I need to close that eye...good night, everyone.
(this isn't the way)
LOL! I loved that little video, perhaps because I happen to love sci-fi.
Thanks
