The first guy asked for census numbers, so the next guy comes with GPA. lol:facepalm:

 

People can't seem to understand that gpa doesn't set the price; prices set gpa. Suicide Squad comes out next month. I fully expect BA12 to go up after the movie is successful.

Let's start talking about my crack first.

 

I think if I take a few pics in Chicago this year and put them in my con report, we can really open up a discussion about it.

Hopefully you won't chicken out like last year.

 

You know what happened last year. I just don't announce everything on these boards.

 

I'm often amazed and befuddled the amount of highly personal stuff that some people post on the internet. Just don't get it

 

That was my point with deleting.I made that post late last night, didnt mean to say this thread should be deleted....meant to say the Chip Go Fund Me thread should be deleted, for Chip's sake.

 

Of course his name is still plasteted over the internet elsewhere but those other threads are several years old.

 

In any event, my job advice was solid.

 

Construction, as an entry level laborer ( no exp needed) takes the cake over a McDonald's or Walmart job.

 

His own feelings of self worth will NOT be positively effected by slinging fries at Mc D's or stocking shelves st Walmart.

 

A manual labor job, will require a lot of hard work on his part, which will help him mentally in terms of self respect.

 

The job I linked to offered benefits, as well.Any job in construction, starting out as a laborer has room for advancement to a crew foreman, if you pick the trade up and work hard...expect to put in 1-3 years of a laborer before becoming a crew foreman.

 

There is also comradery with the guys you work with while you're busting your a** , under the sun in the summer...and in the cold of the winter months...

 

.......you don't get any of that when you take a job where you're stocking shelves in a soul crushing Walmart warehouse or asking a 15 year old kid if he wants to super size his value meal for an additional 99 cents.

 

 

As far as the comment by another boardie about deletingChip's posting history on here as "hiding" the facts from a potential employer....I'd say that his posts here are really just embarrassing, and if he truly wants to get his life together, and is eager to work instead of asking others for money, you should not have issue with his taking steps in that direction.

 

There are a million other reasons why he shouldn't have his life spilling out over a public forum, as well.

And based on the completely inaccurate and asinine things you continue to post here, I wouldn't hire you to fluff the most syphilitic on the set of a porn shoot.

 

1-3 years to go from no experience to foreman of a crew? Is that how you ended up building a fire pit the size of Rhode Island?

 

Haha...pray tell, what is your work background?

 

How many years of experience do you have working construction?

 

Do you have any certs?

 

I've got 20 years in & have ran 2-6 man crews for almost 18 years.

 

ICPI & NCMA certified installer.

 

...oh and yeah, I have a job.

 

But thanks ;)

 

lol

 

As a landscaper, yes, I can see someone becoming a foreman in 1-3 years.

 

Did I say I was a "landscaper"?.

 

No, I did not.

 

I am in landscape construction.

 

What do you do for a living?

The guy didn't ask for price or gpa info. Didn't even ask for census numbers. Just asked for how to look up census numbers. Never answered by the way

Are people still on dial up? download times of comic scans are a problem? ???
The real question is are there companies that still offer dial up services.

 

I remember them back in the day.

 

People trying to contact you on your phone could never get through. :preach:

 

We got in a resume today and they had an AOL email address. Not a single person in the office thought they still existed.

 

:whistle:

lol

 

Yeah, I still use my AOL email, too. :shy:

 

My Aol address just crossed 23 years old. Hard to give up on the old girl.

 

My Hotmail account turned 20 this year. One more year & I can take it out drinking!

 

:D

Anyone heard about Chip after he told us he contacted the hotline and was feeling better? hm

I'm good, Claudio. Been on my meds for a couple weeks now and am noticing the side effects but not really the "good" help yet. That's normal, though. I'll be starting my therapy soon as well, so I'm happy about that. Got everything in on my application to drive for Uber and am just waiting on the background check to clear. Had a great Father's Day with my daughter...just dinner so I saw her only for an hour but it still made my day. All-in-all, okay. I'm hanging in there.
