Hehe, I play online war games, namely Day of Defeat, a WW2 game. I usually kill about 5 or 6 people to my 40 deaths. So I would never be a Veteran, I'd die on the battlefield.

plates said Mountie. LMAO u guys, i'm out for tonight.
No, I pay into UI with my taxes, I've actually collected UI before. But that was because my contract with a company ended. See seasonal workers collect UI on their off-seasons, contract workers can collect UI when they are not on a contract. You can get UI if your company goes under, or if they down-size and you get layed-off. But you can't just get it because you don't like your job.
I actually have a paystub right here, let's see, hmm, I paid $19.37 this pay. It's probably the same each pay. So, I pay about $500/year into UI at my current job. Shit I paid $175 into federal income tax.

My bad. But if "eh" is part of your vocabulary, you're at least 89% Canadian in my book!
I've noticed Americans are afraid to say "eh" they always say "right" instead.
Canadian: It's a hot day, eh?
American: It's a hot day, right?

Sorry to hear about things. I left Michigan two years ago because the employment situation sucked. Granted, now I live in a bog city and have to deal with traffic and commuting, but I love my job.
I didn't read the whole thread, but have you thought about relocating?

Jennifer Mulhern Granholm (born February 5, 1959) is the current Governor of the U.S. state of Michigan. Granholm became Michigan's first female governor on January 1, 2003, when she succeeded Governor John Engler. Granholm is a member of the Democratic Party.
Granholm was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in 1959, and her family moved to California when she was four. As a young adult, she attempted to launch a Hollywood acting career but was unsuccessful, and she abandoned her efforts at the age of 21. That year, 1980, she also became a United States citizen and worked for John Anderson's independent run for U.S. President, and enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley. She graduated from UC-Berkeley in 1984 Phi Beta Kappa with two BA degrees, one in political science, the other in French. Granholm then earned a Juris Doctor degree at Harvard Law School, also with honors. She clerked for U.S. Judge Damon Keith on the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. In 1986 she married current "first gentleman" Daniel Mulhern, a Michigan native, who took her surname as his middle name. In 1990 she became an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. In 1994, she was appointed Wayne County Corporation Counsel.

It is possible to find another job while working at a job you hate. That's what I had to do. It's actually quite easy.
really? :rolleyes: haha.
yea, i knew that...wasn't the choice i made. i didn't hate my job at all, kinda infering much there. i left for my own personal reasons, and yea...i went to study abroad and explore new possibilities. i did. not as long as i expected to, but i did nonetheless. from there, sure...it's taken me longer to find my niche....but yes, i was/am prepared for that financially. i didn't just up and leave my career without funds, support and some semblance of a plan.
anyway, i am sort of in a mid-point career-wise, lots of experience, excellent credentials/education...but i want to shift gears into related, but different work. it takes time. it's taking longer than i had figured, but am still good...and i may take an interim seasonal position just to work, make a bit of cash...and keep up the looking in my new-found direction. it was my choice, and it may not have gone exactly as i had planned/hoped...it's still all good and i don't regret it. i'll get where i want to go.

Jeez, quite the discussion going on in here. The job situation in Michigan sucks in general and even more so for my field. (Parks and Recreation) I have considered moving out of state. Got back a month ago from a week long job search in Montana. Nothing panned out yet but at least I got to see Yellowstone and Glacier! It's definately time for a new Governer in Michigan. Our economy absolutely stinks. Politics aside, I just need a job in my field and I'll go anywhere for one.
mmmmm, it does go well with the chicken.....delicious again peter
