there is only a 1 week waiting period here and it starts when you file not (like MO) when you were let go.

I've sent out several resume's and gone and filled out 1 app. for a state job doing floors in a mental hospital. much less responsibility than the job I just left and damn near the same money.

funny how most jobs listed don't want you to come see them in person unless they call you. they want you to send them a resume and that's it. no physical address in the add for you to even go pester them for a job.

I have found some listings for up to $18/hr though in manufacturing which is more than I was making.
This company typically gives you a pink slip, as they call it, if they fire you. You usually get it with your last check, but I didn't it.

Yeah, I've noticed most jobs, even in the newspaper, don't give you an address to go pester...sometimes a phone number, but oftentimes they want a resume faxed or emailed or tell you to go to their website and apply online.

I don't quite have mine under control. I'm getting better at it, but still not quite there yet.

forgot the fuckin disc lock.

busted up brand new oem fender-replaced the original when i got the bike cuz prev owner cut it for a moto gp look. retarded. fuck.

had a few scratches when i got it, some chick added a lil character to it with her car when she parked next to me.

Yeup. Same guy. I wondered when I saw the intro thread here, but didn't bother clicking on it. I lived in Mexico from the time I was 10-18. Lived in rolla for a year, now going to MSU.
