Hate it that you ended up losing your job How's things going for you? Making any thing on side jobs?

 

in my Truck bama.

damn, sorry to hear that lb.

 

Nothing but a bunch of empty promises, and failed contacts.

Over the past 2 months, I have spent over a week in Dallas on day trips to places saying they wanted somebody to create quick programs for them. I drive 5 hours there, talk for 5-10 minutes then they say they aren't sure if they want to proceed and will call me. So 10 hours on the road, and nothing.

I've had a few interviews, but can't get any responses from those either.

:banghead:

I am pretty sure I have broken almost every traffic law in the Dallas area as well. I just hate going down there.

 

Damn, left this food in the microwave to long! Burnt my tounge.

Economy is just shit right now! They're laying people off here and/or cutting their hours to a max of 32/week. You have to take vacation if you want the other 8. Which I don't understand that....what the hell's the difference in paying vacatioin & reg. hours? Anyway, hopefully things will look up for you. Keep your head up!

 

damn that is just wrong lb. what an arse to do that to you.

ouch bama, what you having?

I'm having some more bannock.

 

Salisbury steak w/ mushroom gravy and patatoes. Barely enough for a 10 y/o but it curbs your appetite. It's not bad.

 

ah nice bama.

lol cool.

 

I'm not tooo worried right now. I only have mortgage, utilities, and food to pay. No other bills. $400 a week in unemployment, and once I run out of my severance pay, I can get food stamps too. My final severance payment hits 9/1 and it will last me the rest of the year. What happens next, I have no idea. I would prefer to use that money to buy something nice for the family, but I have to get a job first.

Just taking a moment out of my day today to see what all I have missed here.

 

Afternoon guys

 

Yep, better than nothing. The board's slow as hell today isn't it?

 

I'll keep good thoughts for ya lb, something will come up.

 

Damn, rough times. I fell for you man, wish you the best of luck. Hang in there, it'll make you appreciate it that much more when the tables turn for the better.

Yo Cyl, what's going on?

 

afternoon Cyln what's up?

 

:hi: Bama, Inuk

:hi: LB, nice to meet you. Wish it were under better circumstances.

Do you by chance write web portal software? Or hack ancient AS400 government archive setups?

 

it has been slow enough here, I was actually able to contribute to the motivational posters again.

 

Hack gov't archives??? What for?

lol - yeah, I saw that.

 

not portal software, I create eLearning software for distribution on an LMS.
So if you just need a quick flash page of something, I may be able to help, but not full portal stuff.

As far as AS400, I just used/trained an existing one for a Fortune 500 company. I am not skilled in hacking them. I may know a guy, that knows a guy though.

 

Ok, just to scare youguys into activity...

QUICK! RUN FOR THE HILLS! SWAMP THING HAS RETURNED!!

 

we've got one, only thing on it is payroll and ar - I don't know shit about them other than how to install the client.

DUDE!!!

 

We are always in need of a good programmer who can hack ancient bridges and further extend our 1990 era AS400 school records. It isnt a task for the weak. It's been hacked and bridged/extended for so long the original vendor wont touch it.

Well, like I said above, we're always looking for a good hack to keep this cobbled piece of shit going for another year. It's a public edu so the bene's are excellent and the pay is around 75-80 to start, if you can pass the trial period.

The portal job is working in stamford, ct. where I have a buddy who needs experienced people in apricot.
