LMAO Jarhead, shhhh. Don't you see the potential here? Unless I am mistaken, this is a man who has business contact with people outside the company. "Advisors in the field". Now, say that Necrotrader/Lordmancer decides he really hates his new Browning shotgun, or doesn't care for the complexity of the 10/22....
LT, anything I can selflessly do to help you out, I am here for ya buddy. I know a thing or two about stocks myself (I found there was a business section in the local paper last week) and I have dealt with some hot tips (I missed buying Dell in the early '90s). I love you man [:D] |

They used to give out plaques.
Once in awhile a card with $20 on it that is redeemable in the company's cafeteria. Once I got a stock option that was quoted at $5 higher per current market value for each share. That option might of have been a deal say 5 years before I received it. Now we just get a 8.5'x11" piece of heavy weight paper that says "Thanks For Letting Us Take Advantage of You!" |

I really hated the last job I had. But I did make out like a bandit for a few years. I was awarded $500 for perfect attendence on two ocassions. I won $1000 for doing something that someone else thought was was excellent on two ocassions. I won a five day trip to Las Vegas (staying at Bellagio) and $1200 cash at the company Christmas party. They're still a bunch of cockhogs though!

Don't get me wrong: I'm in favor of anything his company can do for him that will turn Al's frown upside down. If he's happy, maybe we can keep him here in Texas.

I still hate my job. However, I think I may be able to tolerate it now. You're lucky! At least you have a job. The unemployment rate here in the Dallas area is around 10% or 11%. I'm a Telecom Engineer and was one of the many laid off before 9/11 last year. Well, I actually do have a job - seasonal (part time)employment at Lowe's hardware. I'm probably the only Lowe's cashier with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (Magne Cum Laude). Its the best I can do until things get back to normal. I'm also lucky that my wife still has her job with the city of Plano. The job situation aside, I love Texas! We're like our own little country down here. |

Me two buddy, I am in the Telecom Industry as a RF Engineer with a Co. that is presently doing terrible. I have somehow made it through the last layoffs. If things don't pick up soon I will be adding to the unemployment percentage rate before Fall. |

You Texas guys should consider corrections. DonR was trying to convince me to move down to the Lone Star state. (It this had been 10 years ago I'd be camped out on lt's couch by now.)
Huntsville is screaming for CO's. It's a good paying job till something else comes along. I have a co-worker turning keys with me who has a masters in psychology from Harvard! If Texas is anything like here..a CO's job is your foot in the door. Did I mention they pay you to shoot? [;)] |

Quoted: Huntsville is screaming for CO's. If you get to Huntsville, let me know. I'm about 35 mins away, and I come up often to meet with a friend that lives there. Plus, there's a nice unregulated range in the Nat'l Park nearby. |

You're not kidding about unemployment. I've been out of work for over 4 months, and have no prospects in sight. I applied to be a janitorial supervisor, and didn't even get an interview. And I have a good work history, excellent references, and a Master's degree. Go figure. I'm getting writer's cramp from filling out so many job applications.

I agree about the job market. I went to a job interview on Tues. in Seattle. I followed up with my recruiter to see if she had gotten a feedback yet, and she told me that they saw 10 applicants that day for the same job. And that they have been/will see 10 a day for the next 2 wks before they make a decision. I have not been able to get a lot of interviews here in TX. In the past year I have been called in for 2 interviews in TX. Non of which panned out. Its tough all over. Next Weds. I go to an interview in VA. We just hired a guy in my work that has his MBA in a customer service position. Its tough out there.

I applied at 10:30 yesterday morning by email for a job with a local security firm. They call me at 11:35, asking me if I can interview immediately. I say, "Sure!" and ask for directions. They give me the address, and ask me to be there at 12:30. I "triple-S'ed" and got there with 5 minutes to spare, which was saying something, since I'm in the North County, and the interview was in the South.
As some of you guys know, I only have one good eye. I walk in, take off my sunglasses, and the bee-atch behind the desk says, "Oh, I should have told you the contract requires 20/20 vision in both eyes. Thank you for coming down. Have a nice day." Then she put her head back down to what she was doing. Hmmm... Is it just me or would you consider NOT pissing off a man who is applying for an armed position? Don't worry. She's still breathing, albeit without the aid of a ventilator, as I would have originally preferred. |
