  • Sorry but just because you put on a uniform and decide to risk your life by YOUR choosing, doesn't mean you should get special treatment. as dpaul states, all of us should get the same protection.

• Lose a job, prepare for a really long job search

  Fri Jan 20, 2012
  • My partner is still looking and looks everyday for hours. Has worked with hiring companies etc. So please don't make the assumption that it's a lack of effort. And no, even I would not take just any job with any pay and little benefits.

• Lose a job, prepare for a really long job search

  Fri Jan 20, 2012
  • Sorry but it's more like a year or more. My partner has been out of work for a year. I have neighbors who have been out of work for as long as two years. And as long as companies don't want to hire the unemployed this timeline will continue to stretch out. Which means you're screwed.

  • I hate my job and cannot wait to leave it (have started to look). I work terrible hours; am expected to be available weekends, nights and days. My pay is decent though not great.

• No toys for my boys this holiday season

  Sun Dec 18, 2011
  • My children get one or two presents, that's it. They also learn that donation is a big part of the holidays and they help pick out toys that will go to the needy. We also donate food to the shelters. As many have said here, it's not about the getting, it's about the giving.

• What to do when you loathe your job

  Sun Dec 4, 2011
  • And thats a bs to your comment too. It's not easy just to get a new job or get back to work. I despise my job. My boss is an idiot and the stress of my job is relentless. Try finding a job in this economy right now. So I work however it's not with any enthusiasm or with any serious effort.
