Ain't no new claims when we are all unemployed already.

Shawnee123 07-15-2010 12:08 PM

Heeheee, you have a point!

People who have run out of unemployment payments are dropped out of the stats, IIRC.

Tester-San is still unemployed after more than two years.

PM me if anyone sees opportunities for software testers.

(almost closed, they want an estimate, but things sound pretty good on it.)

Only 429,000 first time jobless claims last week? I knew the line at the unemployment office seemed shorter.:wstupid:

Shawnee123 07-15-2010 02:18 PM

But spud, don't you have a job digging up taters?

spudcon 07-21-2010 01:18 AM

My job is secret alter-ego, not digging up taters, but fighting against the evil potato conspiracy. No income in being a super hero, hence the unemployment ruse.

Shawnee123 07-21-2010 07:53 AM

If things don't start improving here, I might be in that line with you.

spud, I am skilled in subterfuge when it comes to that subterranean starchy tuberous crop. I will join the revolution! PM with details.

"Millions of Shovel Ready Jobs!"

Not. And none for the last 2 years as the Dems drive us to becoming bankrupt. No jobs, record level deficits, spending like whores, and no plan to pay for it.

classicman 07-21-2010 09:10 PM

Not to bust yer balls or anything Mr. Merc, but I don't recall the other option available at the time.
What was that again?

Lamplighter 07-21-2010 09:23 PM

Merc.

I'm sorry you're so unhappy.
Maybe things will get better...
...or not.

It's just one thing after another, and then we die.
