Sorry to hear about the unemployment pl.

[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff40"]Yeah Michel some of the under 35 are not the brightest. I know a guy who quit a job after 2 weeks just before the economy crashed because 'it was beneath him' and now of course he's unemployed. goofy

Kids haven't had it tough, never have had to do that job that was 'beneath them', they've got a daddy will save me attitude.

Bull............I know of many in their twenties holding down jobs and raising families.  

 SD, You need to find a real job and be out in the workforce and see how the rest of the world lives

      I agree. I also know a lot of people in their 20s (some are even family members), that are not trying to 'have it all' overnight too.

 Couldn't he quit the union job, then find another? 6 weeks is hard to call I guess? Is there any word of work starting up soon for him?

Maybe it is just me, but I would't sit around waiting for the union to take care of me. 6 weeks isn't too bad though. 6 months may be another story.

  Hey Van.

  He's taking this loss really hard....I've already given him my two cents on what to do.

 Hello Van and PC.
I agree that it seems silly that mr PL is awaiting on his union. It seems ironic that he is doing that when other unions, like the public sector unions, openly knew about their members working for private companies during their city strike.

Hopefully he finds something.. start looking. You can always go back. Im with Van on this one.

I don't think he's waiting on his union, at least I hope he's not doing that.

Hey Van.

    Its a tough call for you both. Best of luck with everything.

 Yep.  He's a cement finisher.  His company laid him off (along with other workers) because his company wanted to pocket all the money for the project without having to pay any workers.  Winter is the worst...

 I don't see many old concrete finishers on jobsite, usually young.......physically, many are disabled long before retirement.  I would suggest he use the off period to prepare himself for advancement in the field

Um I'm not your average 20 something. I'm old in class because I did the 12am-7am job shift for 3yrs. I laugh at the people just out of university who refuse to take those jobs. This is what happened to my friend, now he's doing the 12-7am shift. Be careful for what you wish for. For me I get tired of a 20 year old in university telling me they know everything about life, yet they've never had to actually work.

Y'all stop bickering now.  Please?
 
 Let's all sit and smoke one.

  Somebody stop me.

Sounds familiar. Hmm?

 Kind of like SD trying to convince regular DS users he knows everything about life, politics, relationships, history, music, art..., but never really had any real life experiences yet.

 Pot, meet kettle, kettle, pot.
