Is your job situation ruining your access to the Internet?

To all of my dear friends (and enemys) on the YDKJ forum,

I just wanted to let you all know that I will be away for a bit. I have recently found my self in the position of unemployment and therefore no longer have access to a computer. I will try and get on every now and then from a friends house and such, but I don't know how often. Please keep me in your thoughts as I try and find a new job. I will miss you all, well most of you. Until we meet again.

~Vampr0se~
I wonder how he found his self in the position of unemployment.

I'm sorry, we're going to hafta let you go because You Don't Know Jack.

Hmm. I recently survived a 5 month stretch of unemployment (thank god that's over ...) and my internet access was one of the things I made sure to budget enough for each month. Searching jobs, making job contacts, and quite simply keeping sane by visiting my regular sites more than made it worth the investment.

Netzero is still in business for free net access; used PCs that can handle modems and even Windows 95 are sold as scrap.


As God is my witness, I need never be without internet access again!

I browse mostly from home, all the freaking time

I will soon get my office hooked-up, and since I'm the only IT person around (a small 6-people consulting firm), I'll be free to download and burn my own CDs... finally, what's I have been dreaming of since high-school (that was 1 year ago
