Unemployment Benefits CUT ALL STATES!!

I remember a job it did with vaulted ceilings....back in my ...i must be nuts days.
Had 1 foot on top of 8 ft ladder and other ft on top of the upper cabinets.

I gave an estimate to a guy that had just finished buiding his house. Get this....he wanted even all the closets papered.
Who am i to change his mind.(I did try) He didn't have ANYTHING (walls) textured cuz he wanted everything wallpaper. 2600 sq ft
I drove 3 hrs to give him the bid. (where i use to live) After i gave him the bid of $5300. He changed his mind.

My kitty (Sqeak) goes right up the 6 ft ladder with no effort.

shoot we did all our painting and papering ourselves...we got down here and didn't want to buy all the stuff...plus the vaulted ceilings...yikes...so it cost us $400 to get this place painted ....papering would have been too expensive for us...

sorry about not getting the job...but for every no you are closer to a yes!! or so i keep telling myself...

I'm actually doing more UN-wallpapering lately. Stripping is definitely not my favorite thing but SOMEONE'S gotta do it. I'm not proud.
I can see it now....trying to get up my ladder with my walker getting in the way. ROFL

please!! SToppppp...the ONLY picture i have of you is your kitty...so i'm seeing this kitty with a walker trying to get onto a ladder!! and i HAVE not been drinking yet!

i hate stripping wallpaper...we swore...sorry we would never ever wall paper anything after having to strip and steam the stuff off....never! paint it is!

Here where i am the unemployed is at 15%. A new Costco opened up in Aug. There were initially almost 4k apps for the 160 jobs. (i applied too..knew there had to be some wallpapering to do there....LOL)

i could wallpaper!!!!!! i can!! unreal...over 4k applications...well i guess oregon isn't the place with all the jobs...that everyone's refusing???? LOL!!

i'm still waiting for someone to tell me where they are???

hummmm. where did the thumbs down at the beginning of the post come from???

I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I would have freaked.

As far as the benefits extensions go, I agree with 'Hub in that they were past due to come to an end. I feel that UE has created a false floor.. With it, many people actively seeking jobs are turning opportunities down because they make more or equal with UE and don't have to work.

Good luck to you!

well...don't WE WISH we were included in that group that are turning down those opportunities...but sadly enough we are not...

there is a faction of the population which is more silent than most. the mid and upper management white collar workers that were ousted because of their high salaries and most had long standing employment ....well over 10 and let go. these people simply have no place left in our work place. ask this question....would you hire me with 6 years of college and over 50 to work on the town roads??? or build the new court house....? these are NOT jobs we can do at this point in our lives. maybe, even as a woman, i could have gone and poured concrete. so which jobs or opportunities am i turning away???

we as i stated were luckier than most and have small pension and one of us was able to take early ss. there are NO jobs for us out there ...and if there are where are they...in texas...california...ny...can someone just tell me where they are???? i can do anything if given the opportunity...just tell me where they are?

LOL Gross! My dogs eat them, then throws up. So I wouldn't recommend it. Now if you are really gusty there are a few gators in our retention pond. Gator Nuggets sound good right about now

ohhhhhh..yuck...i would starve first i'm sure....no way...and now that i'm now here the only water retention near ME will have to have a ton of chlorine and a fence around it...thank you very much!

[tobee43]

Ditto! Tobee is LOTS more responsive than my attorney and seems to know more to boot!

dee thanks for the vote! bk and family law were my too yucks...but frankly, now, i would take anything!

although i'm use to working behind the scenes in closed rooms...

[tobee43]

I'd hire you Tobee!

thanks!!! for you it's free!!!!!

[tobee43]

tobee43, I am sorry to hear about the non-renewed UI extension. Just a thought....you were a paralegal for years. Have you ever thought of preparing bk petitions for people? That is a field that is growing. You would be great at it.

I think that UI will be extended again at some point. Congress will make a lot of noise about "fiscal responsibility" before the elections, and then quietly approve an extension later, funded by cuts elsewhere.

your sweet...and i have tried it's over 200 application with my national cert from bu...with my grade point attached... nothing...

...actually i was rather upset with the firm i used because they hired two people while they were doing mine and i was helping them sooooo much...i'm to old i think because it was a really young firm

Hmmm...that's an idea (as I scrutinize the juvenile gator in the pond outside).
