This whole "job" thing is a double edged sword, you have the people that actually want to work but don't have the knowledge/education or the communicational skills to obtain even the simplest of jobs; then you have the other people whom have the knowledge/education and the communicational skills to get jobs and they are just too fucking proud or lazy to start out beneathe where they think they should be.

I have fired many people that are over joyed to be on unemployment, and won't work for the whole 18 months they can get it, it's only when they can't afford to put $5 in gas in their cars that they will go out and try to get a job. It's pathetic really. Then I have the 1% that sends me reference letters the next week after getting let go asking for my reference to help them get a job. 9 times out of 10 I give them a good recommendation, because most of them are good people and workers, but have a hard time with policies and procedures or call ins.

From my readings of Swifty talking about work over the last few years it seems as if he wants a high paying job that he likes, that he has a good amount of time off to do fun things, and then isn't very hard or stressful. I could be way off but I think that is why he gets crap sometimes. Who knows. Everybody is different from each other so I don't really pay too much attention.

But as was said above, even with this economy there are jobs out there, you just have to be on top of your game and be ready to go in and look an employer in the eye and tell them how you can both benefit from you getting hired. I know those are things I look for when hiring people, 50% background/education & 50% character/personality.

Sorry for the off topic.
