Just out of curiosity, how is the economy affecting you? Options

[hi-C]

she can't get a job to make money, which would enable her to move out....??? how was that Carrie?

That's right.

^ Well it really depends on what kind of job you're looking for, right? It's not like Carrie's gonna settle for working at the university cafeteria or driving people around.

That's right, too.

it's better than not having a job at all.

Yes it is, IMO. If I had to support myself, of course I'd go out there and work something menial, but since I'm living with my parents, I have the luxury of being selective. I want something that's going to put me on a career path.

I'm so happy I don't have to worry about getting a job in the economy crisis.... Hopefully by the time I am out of college and looking for a job the economy will be back to normal.. or better. (8ish years? 9?)

[ForgiveTheSinner]

I thought we would be saving money up since a lot of people are losing their jobs or whatever but apparently my parents aren't worried at all and I'm the one being paranoid and yelling at them for spending recklessly.

Today they bought two flat screen tv's...and I went crazy.

Other than gas going up, haven't really changed anything.

I'd like to say I'm cutting spending, too...but just today, I bought about $40 in books, and I still smoke kreteks.

And I don't even have a job.

What are you doing for this coalition of four governments?

It's related to Internet Protocol, not really supposed to get into details.


But an example, if you ever look up at the street lights and there's cameras, we can watch live video feed at any time.

My position is pretty much fixing any issues on the Head-In side of things.

^ there are youtube videos about how to hack into those.. and you get paid to watch them? O_o weird. You get paid for what youtube does for free :3

Naw... I don't monitor them, I can by loggin in via IP address with username and password. I fix them if there's an issue on the server side. And if you hack those that's an automatic Federal Offense in the U.S.

I don't know about the laws in the other countries though.

[emberfly]

^ wow awesome :O do you think the police track the ppl that make youtube vids on how to hack into them?

[kryogenix]

Nothing major yet, but I'm pissed about how the dollar is going to drop in value.

[emberfly]

^ i thought it has been doing that for months?

[kryogenix]

No, the dollar has been going UP in value compared to most other currencies for the past few months.

Though, compared to gold, it's worth a lot less than it was a few years ago.

[illriginal]

^ wow awesome :O do you think the police track the ppl that make youtube vids on how to hack into them?

Police can't do anything. Basically the only proper way to catch someone is by looking at the log of IP addresses that gained access to the surveillance cameras. If there's one that's foreign (not in the system) then they'll track the IP address and start an investigation, from my understanding.

this was really long. but i had to edit it. it was like 3 paragraphs long! i'll try to shorten it.

i moved to orlando with my mom. couldnt find a job in orlando after 2 months, neither could my mom (who got laid off of her last job) we moved back here to niceville (which is 6hrs away btw) and got my old job back working at a pizza place making 7.65. i love that job but the pay sux. i work about 5-7 days a week. i live at home with my parents still but thats because i pay my bills and then i help them pay bills as well. i have a camaro so gas prices affect me a lot. since no one is hiring my mom cant find a job and is on unemployment right now, she's applied for over 150 jobs and still nothing. i try to help out as much as i can. i do a little bit of photography around here on the side but as of right now there is no profit from it. our house is being foreclosed on and my mom wont try the "produce the note" strategy (if you or someone you know is going through foreclosure have them research that btw.) so we're trying to find another place to live and its not going very well. my dad is an alcoholic so he drinks a lot of our money, and thats not good when the other spouse is out of work. ummm other than that it doesnt affect us much. lol.

i know how you feel. i'm not the type to get a job just because the pay is good. i have to do something i enjoy (no matter what the pay is like) or else i won't stick with it.

[mipadi]

You know what would make me happy in these tough economic times? If I could get a job designing the interiors of books. That'd be awesome.

The purple and green shirt is pretty sick. Anyways, if the economy wasn't affecting you at all, you wouldn't be taking pictures of your pseudo-expensive clothes and proudly posting them on the internet.

[emberfly]

Very true.

livin with mommy and daddy and not having to pay rent/health insurance/life insurance/dental insurance/vision insurance/vehicular insurance/car payments/electricity/water/cable/internet etc... does not count in this discussion.

[fameONE]

I thought I wouldn't have to deal with the issue of job security, however, now that the Marine Corps is pushing the issue of recruiting, and gaining so many incoming personnel, promotions are being pushed through the ranks. Essentially, there are just way too many Non-Commissioned Officers in the Corps and I might not be able to re-enlist. There are, of course, ways around this issue with other opportunities that this gun club has to offer, however, for a Marine with a less than flattering track record, he/she would be SOL.

lmao you don't know me at all.

i moved out of my parents house 3 years ago bro. i'm currently a college student. i been living on my own for three years. i pay for my own rent, tuition, car insurance, electricity bills, groceries, textbooks, and anything else i need to keep myself going. out of my three years of being independent, my parents has ONLY loaned me $300, and that's because I needed to pay for some books my 1st quarter of freshman year. i already gave them 300 back. also mind the fact that university tuition is expensive as hell. i saved alot of money back in highschool for this. f*ck outta here.

you tell him Tung.
