†††I would rather live my life as if there was a GOD and die and find out there isn't; then live my life as if there is no GOD and die to find out there really was! †††

That is beautiful. Good luck on the interview.

Yes, I've mentally deleted several of my coworkers

Perhaps not uneducated, but you certainly have not paid attention to trends or your would have realized long ago that your job position was in danger of being outsourced and done something about it. I'm not sure what you do, but let's assume for the sake of discussion that you are in quality control over the manufacturer of computer technology, a prime area for outsourcing when the manufacuring of said items it itself outsourced.

What has prevented you from getting a nursing degree? Or becoming a computer programmer? Or a teacher? Or an auto mechanic? Or any number of other jobs involving skill sets that you could have been learning as you watch your industry slowly slip over to China?

Further, and again you may have done this, but what has prevented you from putting away a portion of your prior earned income into investment vehicles so that you could live comfortably while in retraining presuming you waited until the hammer dropped before considering it?

Might I suggest something then, and it may be too late for you to step right into this; the transition should have been begun months or years ago.

As a computer tech, you obviously know how to set up and maintain computers. Correct? Well, that is one seriously marketable commodity. There is a fortune to be made in doing that. Why have you not started your own company?

I need a Red Hat machine set up and properly locked down. I also need two other linux machines tended to. I have no desire to learn the finer points of linux. I would gladly pay you to come in and do those things for me. But if you are not promoting yourself as someone who is willing to perform those tasks, if you are content to allow your economic viability to exist at the whims of a company that cares not one whit about you, then I will never call you.

Also, my clients are constantly having problems with their Windows machines; I do Macs and can only refer them to Microsoft tech support. There is a huge market there.

I am also looking to hire a computer programmer who fits my needs. Had you learned how to program for Mac OS X during your tenure as a Microsoft tech, and were proficient at that job, I would pay you a thousand a week right this second to do some programming work for me. And that's to start, with significant raises upon completion of the first task along with a direct bonus coming right off the top of gross sales of the finished product for its market lifetime.

The only problem I would have hiring you specifically is your proclivity to watch Extreme Makover; you and Val would never get any work done. :)

You don't by chance ride an exercise bike while watching the Food Channel, do you? I've never understood that one either.

Hey OS..you don't have to apologize sis..its all good..i luv ya too :-)

So both you AND my wife are completely insane, correct?

Actually, we don't use Microsoft products at all on our LAN. We do web hosting and software development by the way. We have one existing product that runs on Linux, but we are going to be writing an inproved Mac based version of it as soon as I can find the appropriate person to do the job.

What I was referring to with MS products are some of my clients who use our service and have problems troubleshooting config issues. I don't know Outlook and can not effectively troubleshoot their inability to connect to our system beyond telling them that there is no problem on our end.

And just last month, my attorney had some major problems with her wireless LAN and intercommunication between two Windows boxes. I had to do some major hunting to find someone to go to her house and fix it.

My needs for your services would be purely referral as an occasion arose, not employment -- unless you learned how to code for the Mac. :)

Let me give you a real good example of how one should keep their ears open and always look for opportunities.

Three years ago, the grass on my lawn got just barely too high and too thick to cut with my push mower. I called around to a dozen places to get someone to come out and mow my lawn on a one shot. Not one single company would do so; they all required long term obligations. So I called a repair shop and asked them if they knew anyone who could do it. They gave me the name of one guy who had his own pro riding mower for his own property. He was not in the business, but was disgusted with what he was doing in life. He came over and mowed. As a result of that contact, we talked extensively about setting up his own business taking care of yards.

He is now swamped and going to be hiring additional crews in the spring. All because he will do one shots on lawns without contracts. All it took is for him to see an opportunity and have the guts to let God take over the details.

its going well so far....I made a drastic change to myself yesterday and I am having to adapt to it lol...

check ur myspace..and u will see

thank you...i dont think it will be tough for people who have never seen me but it will take me some time to get used to it.

Thank you pixie-- Don't laugh at me but I don't know anything about deleting cookies. Where are they? I'm new at this computer language only been computering 6 months. I've heard a friend of mine mention deleting her cookies but she has one of those web tv things instead of computer.

Thank you so much for teaching me that. Got it done. It didn't help. I think you got me on newest comment because I was on there when you went on my profile. I'm going off air for tonight so I'll see what happens tomorrow. ""When I key on my profile it says page 1 but it hangs up in October dates and I have to key in newest to get to my most recent messages. Again thant you I love learning how to work this gadget...

I am still calling friends and asking about something on a second shift!!!

Pike and a new poser named blame_me talked pure trash about dont_preach wife and kids..it was the most despicable act that I have ever had to witness and it was pure mean. And some of us blogged about it and Angela deleted the poster, but Pike still stands..LOL

I feel the same way and I dont have kids..LOL..folks just need to learn respect. That is all. Plain crazy and dumb if you ask me.

Well dang...I'm glad I will be able to get online Friday to wish you a happy bday...I'm sorry about the job situation. Dont you have an interview tomorrow? I do wish you alot of luck with that..Luv ya OS :-)

well do whatever will make you happy chick....after I get my son situated with college, i think i might do something myself.

Yeah i know what you mean...that is what i'm gonna do....as soon as i get a puter, i am going to start taking some online classes....

OT is always good OS.....I am not doing any OT this week :-( but i think i get one or two days next week...

Good Wed morning and happy Hump day to you! Enjoy the weather, have a great day!

he he he, I hate the ice. I am OK with a little snow but not ice. I dont like being stuck in the apartment or having to dig my car out of the snow. That is what men are for..LOL..Makes me appreciate this weather we are having a little more. If it would only rain, it would be so much better.
