How about paddling to work? Work sucks...all I see is the guys going to have fun every day and I have to go to bed early and get up early to go to work...and they are doing the same except to go have fun...

Just remember its alot easier to pay the bills with paychecks versus paddling stories   Soon my being unemployed will probably force me to sit at home being unable to afford gas to go hit the river.

Im just sick of my job...I need a new job...

Ya, and you can collect for two years now...and then when it finally runs out, you just get an extension and....BACK TO THE RIVER!!!!!

 

Plus, you never really actually ever have to look for a job (plus you dont really want to look for work because you might actually get a job and who really wants that)....

 

Sorry guys....I know the truth hurts...but you know me, I tell it like it is...

OOps, sorry, we hyjacked this thread...

Also most of my unemployed carpenter friends who can collect find that most the jobs available pay less than they make on unemployment and they are barely surviving with the piddly amount of $ they are getting already. try cutting 70% of your wages and see how life treats you. Im not kidding at all when i say i wont be going to the river due to gas.A few more months and my savings will be gone and then its time to start selling possesions to afford food! TRUST ME the grass on my side of the fence is NOT greener... They say unemployment is down to 9% but that is an unrealistic figure seeing as everyone who is self employed is not figured into that. The construction industry is more like 30% or higher out of work. But hey cant you paddle around the office in your big puddle of tears. cry me a river

Rather than whining about your job why not put some of that effort into finding a better one that makes you happy? you gave me the impression that its an easy task to become employed these days so why hang on to a job u hate? just curious

Not trying to have a pissing contest here you just struck a personal nerve for me. I just cant stand it when people ASSume things are one way when they really have no clue. Hopefully 2011 will be a better year for ALL of us.

If things get that bad, you can always join the military. I know someone my age that just did not to long ago and are very happy they did.

Your a sad little man. My best friend gave his life for our country and the fact that you poke fun at being in the military disgusts me. There are people in the world who have walked away from $100,000 a year jobs to serve our country so the fact that you think its a last resort option just shows how ignorant you are. They say ignorance is bliss so why are you so unhappy? The fact that you find others misfortune amusing really shows alot about your moral character. Are you this arrogant in person or do you just feel this cocky behind a keyboard?

I am down to paddle but I live in Wenatchee so I will be paddling east of the mountains if you want to make a drive. There is probably better paddling on the "wetside" right now but if you get a wild hair hit me up, 425-466-8370
