Lighten up, Odenisgod, you'll probably understand the situation more after you hit your 14th birthday.
 
I assumed Jaynes was already at least a freelance PR writer for the Blazers front office based on his "Roy charges $49 autographs" smear job. :dunno:

After that propaganda, he lost me. Sorry about your situation, Dwight. Join the club.

So, did you think it was untrue, or that it shouldn't have been reported?

He just linked to another column and wrote his own thoughts about it. That's what bloggers often do.

Why did he leave the Portland Tribune again? I remember he had some kind of reason and there were threads on it......
 
ODENISGOD- what is your problem? The guy needs work, work that will help pay the bills, and work that will be fulfilling. What is wrong with him putting it out there in the universe? Nothing to laugh about. Good for him and good luck to him.

I didn't laugh at him, I said it was pathetic.

You do know what "LOL" means, right?

And you put "LOL" in the thread title.

What are yous trying to say?? I always thought it was latin for "that's pathetic"
 
Hey, I've been unemployed for several months now and let me tell you, it's brutal out there - much worse than the dot-com crash days. You have to do anything you can to try and find a job, so if this is Dwight's way then so be it. As much as I dislike his writing I hope the guy finds something. For those of you who don't like him doing it try being unemployed for a nice stretch and then see how willing you'd be to try something like that.

Hell, I'm considering it myself right now after 4 months off of work. Perhaps I'll post for a job in Dwight's comment section.

Probably couldn't hurt to post there - at least you know you'd get quite a few people looking at it :grin:

First of all, I'd make only slightly more..slightly..than unemployment. And that's presuming everything went my way and they gave me a full shift, etc. So I'd still be sitting on an eventual losing proposition and the difference between the two might be less than a month.

Secondly, having gone through this before, I notice that many people who have never been unemployed, or rarely, have this great theory about "Well, why don't you just get a job at <insert place X>". It isn't that simple. I've tried that before many times and every time out they tell me I'm over qualified and that I'd just leave when a job in my field came up, which is true.

Yeah, I'm at the point now where I still have 12 weeks of unemployment, and I can't get interviews for positions that are for literally half of my base pay in my last job because they know I'll be looking to leave once the economy revs up over the next year. On the positive side, my wife has a very successful career, and I'm getting a lot of projects done around the house.

So, I'm basically just enjoying the summer, applying for a couple of jobs a day, and interviewing every now and then. I'm also quite sure that making #10/hr. at Jack in the Box would still leave me underpaid compared to my unemployment benefits.
 
I really don't understand why folks would bad mouth the guy for wanting to find a job or income. The people you should bad mouth, are the folks who don't want to be employed. Not the one's who actually want to do something for a living. As long as folks aren't doing anything which adversely affects my life, I wish them nothing but success.

he can get a job he just doesn't want to work a shitty job. there is plenty of fast food places that would hire hm on the spot. a job is a job. But he wont do it, instead he will ask you for your money to read his site.

No it isn't. Did you ever pass any math classes beyond grade school? When you are looking for work you have to try and find something that will pay your bills. Most fast food jobs will do nothing but eat up part of your enemployment funds. When you you work a job that pay's less than your unemployment, you lose money. If that job doesn't pay the bills, you still go bankrupt, whether you are working or not. It's just that doing one thing, you are working a fast food job which sucks and going bankrupt, and in the other situation you are not, you are actually looking for work which will pay your bills.

I would also remind you, that folks who collect unemployment have paid into the system for the most part. Peopel that are professionals lose their job seldomly. Most of them have piled thousands of dollars into the system, and when they are in financial trouble due to job loss, they deserve to access those funds to survive. The people that deserve the verbal abuse are the one's who abuse the system, and don't pay their share. Like the folks who skip from state to state to get welfare. Those people suck.
 
We should have a help wanted thread for you guys to find work!

I think that would be nice, but I don't know if anyone here would actually have a job to offer.



One thing I would note, is that there are more jobs available for those of us who are willing to move out of state. Oregon is in a particularly bad situation right now. But that is hard when you have a family that is situated here, and moving costs money too. Good luck to all looking, hopefully the economy will turn around soon and some jobs will come back to Oregon.
 
I'd hire some of you Crackers to come mow my yard!
