Oh, good luck zomzom with the job! I know how it is. I went on a few interviews and I haven't done that in over 25 years. It was difficult for me. I always seemed to know someone for a job, plus I've done the same thing for about 10 years. (It sucks being a rookie... again, lol.)
Well Oct 2nd doesn't look good for me. I may be actually working. That will be very nice. I missed the last one because I was flat broke. So, if I'm still on this job that will end like Oct 5th, I will be tied up with that. If I only get a few days work out of it I will still be broke. LOL, catch 22 sorta'.
Hey did anyone ever post pictures from last time?

Apparently I'm the guy who looks like Richard Dreyfuss?

Thanks Kookie
I hate having to go to interviews but it hasta be done eh?
Hope all goes well with your job although it's a shame that you might not get to the meet. I know what you mean about the being broke thing ... in one hand just to for it to be handed over to someone else
Thanks Kookie

Ah yeah, your from MI, you said eh. LOL. Yes the joblessness sux. I thought it would be cool at first. I could catch up on projects, but failed to realize the lack of monies coming in would prevent this because I burned through my savings so fast. Also, when you owe people money, its hard to justify going out and having fun.

It looked like alot of fun! I would really like to support the meet and attend. I will try my best. I would like to come with some empty carts though, to maybe try some flavors. I would also like to off some of my liquids I just don't like. Maybe someone would like what I don't like. Did the last meet have a trade atmosphere at all?
I'd be in to this, as well. It looked like there wasn't much of this going on, based on the recap and pics I saw from the last one.
As an informal interest check though, I'd be more than happy to bring some stuff to trade.
Well, I might bore you with this and it is off topic here but I will answer this.
Trade? Well that's a loaded question, lol. I was good at architectural and mechanical drawing and like to program in Pascal, various basics, Forth, and Assembly way back when, but I was obsessed with it. I quit that and started out as a mechanic as a teenager because I was good at it, but I didn't like it. My biggest accomplishment has been Broadcast Engineer. I worked my way up to Chief Engineer for an AM FM in Ann Arbor. I worked up and down the dial in Detroit before that. Then deregulation happened, was not a good idea in my opinion at all. Big companies started buying up all the stations. They wanted me to write memos for stupid things that I could easily discuss with the manager in the next office. I couldn't take the idodic BS and started doing it as a contractor. Actually I was working as a contractor all along in broadcasting, IT, and telecommunications. Then my cousin started his own business as an art moving company. I said, yes I would like to travel the country. So, I became an Art Handler for the last ten years. We swung alot of freight in the beginning. It was great fun traveling everywhere. I was in NYC at least twice a month and got to know the city very well. My cousin let his company fall apart due to personal problems and held a death grip on it. I got less and less work since january and completely failed back in May. My co-driver and I wanted to continue, but with out real start up money, it was doomed. I've never fared well in a normal 9 to 5er. So, I am looking for that odd job I could live with. I could easily go work for the teamsters driving a truck, but I fear getting stuck there. This film job I'm currently working on is sure interesting enough for me and may lead somewhere. IDK. Its hard to get back into the technical field since I've been away for so long. One last thing is that I've been an artist and sculptor as well. I've apprenticed doing the Butter Cow at the MI State fair for three years and the forth year, last year, I was able to handle the whole thing myself. Now that's what I would have been doing right about now, but as you probably know they have closed the Fair this year. In another stroke of bad luck, about two years ago, in my free time, I tried to start a business in the Oil Sorbent sector. I met a brilliant man in Vermont over a lost cat. Charles Diamond. He has his own hydroelectric plant and is an inventor. He showed me an amazing product that floats on water indefinitely and absorbs oil. 20 pounds of sorbent will soak up 600 pounds of oil. A friend and I started this business with two others. My friend ended up sinking the company about 8 months before the BP and MI spill. So, yeah, trade, that was a loaded question, lol. In essence I could pretty much handle most things. (I pride myself that I'm someone you should know in an armageddon situation because I'm a good shot too, lol.) Getting a chance to prove it is difficult especially at an older age. I'm not to worried about getting a job, I'm more worried about getting the right job. It will be easy to get stuck somewhere, but this no $ gig is getting stale and may force my hand.
Boy, that was self indulgent, eh? lol.
Twinkie.....We had a PIF table with more juice on it than you could shake a stick at!! Kind of a give what you want and take what you want deal! Not sure if there will be as much this round as the leftovers went to the PIF thread!
Wiz
I also have a bunch of juice I would like to trade. Bring yours and we will see. If anything at all we can give it to the pay it forward thread where someone will jump on it or put it on the classifeds.
So Kookie, in short, your a jack of many trades-which is totally cool. I'm needin someone to do some odd stuff around the house and thought maybe I could throw some cash in the direction of a friend.
Kookie - thanks for sharing. It was a very interesting read. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that you find a job that you enjoy and doesn't seem like a job at all, if you know what I mean?
I will have to see if my tyrant of a boss will let me off that day, oh wait a minute thats the wiz never mind dont tell him i said that lol
Sorry Zomzom.....I just can't seem to get rid of him!!! 10 months away from ECF and he decides to come back!Your secret is safe ....
Now all he has to do is bring himself to the Oct Meet with his GLV!!
