Lee03 0 #28 February 6, 2004 I have no job. I have just spent another fruitless day searching for a job,, out chasing wild geese! Hope gotten up again, only to be let down. I keep hearing that the economy is getting better, that if you want a job you can find one. I wish someone would tell me where! I have been looking for a job (minus 4 months when I was employed, last year before being layed off) for almost 2 years. No luck. I want to work, but cannot get the opperunity to do so. Frustrated and depressed! I always hear how great Atlanta is for jobs, how easy it is to find a job in Atlanta, what a great place it is to work. I've got news for you, it's all a lie! Atlanta has nothing, job wise to offer! There is nothing here! -------- To put your life in danger from time to time ... breeds a saneness in dealing with day-to-day trivialities. --Nevil Shute, Slide Rule Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My favorite nation, dough-nation! Ooh, ooh I have a job but I hate it. Lets all go into business. Hows bout starting a shuttle service that carts poor ass skydivers around the US (for quite reasonable prices, of course ). Just think, we'll get paid (not much, but some), we'll bring business to DZs all over the US, we'll meet lots of cool peeps, etc., etc. The possibilities are endless....I will even donate my sh*tty little Mazda as our first shuttle.

This is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure transportation is the way to go.... Let's give it some thought though. What skills do we have people? I'm good with numbers, economics and pissing people off with political threads. I think Ivan's in IT, he can be our web guru. Lee, what do you do? Never go to a DZ strip show.
