I may never get back to sleep now.

How secure is your job?
I have a good deal saved up (mostly for a house within two-three years) that I'm getting near having to tap in to because I can't find a job!
** Also, I'm coming down with something, damn it. So stuffed up and sore. 2/26/2010 8:40:27 AM |

YES - you don't want to have a mortgage be the reason you don't take a new job that you like or move somewhere you're more interested in.2/26/2010 8:58:02 AM |

yeah that's what i'm thinking. I'm so unmotivated these days about my career. It really is awful 2/26/2010 9:32:30 AM |

^ What do you do? And why are you unmotivated? 2/26/2010 9:34:01 AM |
Jeepin4x4 #Pack9 35774 Posts user info edit post |
I'm an estimator/project manager for an electrical construction company. I am unmotivated because it's not what i went to school for nor what i ever pictured myself doing. The money is good which is why i'm still here.
But in this business you are rewarded more for mistakes than you are for accuracy. Projects go to the cheapest bidder, more so than ever with this economy. Therefore for every project that we price up and bid accurately we are undercut by people who leave stuff out, cut corners, have zero overhead or are just plain bad at this business. So it's frustrating to see your hard work and attention to detail all go for naught.
I work in a small office with 5 people, 4 male, all over 40. Our crew is down to 15 or so, all male. Every vendor, sales person, contact and representative i speak to is over 30, all male.
I feel like i'm stuck. But as i said, the money is good, the benefits are great and i'm completely secure. i'm around my hometown with my best friends and family. But still....I know there's something better out there, but this funk of unmotivation has set in. 2/26/2010 9:46:18 AM |

How much money do you make? 2/26/2010 9:50:06 AM |
DROD900 All American 24653 Posts user info edit post |
^^I'm right there with you brother
except for the good benefits thing. and since I dont have my benefits covered, my actual takehome pay is a fraction of what it should be
and to piggyback on the slow economy thing, people expect you to do the same amount of work (and a lot of times more) as what you used to do when the economy was good, for a lot less pay
I wanna start a record company or become a sports writer or do something more fun

how smoky is bada nowadays? I know its non-smoking, but does it still smell like smoke in there?
Allie was talking about coming out to Bada for dinner tonight and bringing Lily Belle along so she can meet some friends (Saps, Danny, Dave, etc. etc.). If its not smokey or too loud then we'll bring her out for a little bit. Allie and Lily will leave after dinner and I'm gonna stay out to drink with the fellers for a while 2/26/2010 11:03:41 AM |
poopface All American 29367 Posts user info edit post |
i never said i was gonna be there
and bada doesn't smell like anything except chicken now (i've heard non-smokers say the same). sure, right after the smoking ban, you could still smell it, but it's gone now 2/26/2010 11:05:13 AM |
fdhelmin All American 1058 Posts user info edit post |
^ Haven't been to Bada, however, all the clubs and etc that are now non-smoking smell funny. It's like a mix of sweat and dingy carpet. Still better than smoke though. 2/26/2010 11:06:00 AM |

i'm supposed to be hanging out with another group of friends at 4, but now they're pushing it back, so i dunno, i'm still waiting to hear back. about what time were you thinking? 2/26/2010 11:25:59 AM |
DROD900 All American 24653 Posts user info edit post |
I'll probably watch the hockey game at the house after work, that should be over around 5-530. We'll probably head out to Bada around 6-630ish for dinner, Allie and Lily will probably leave around 8-830 (if they decide to come out, which they probably will)
Saps was talking about going out there around 430, I dont know if I can make it that early 2/26/2010 11:27:52 AM |

I've billed out everything for the month and, once again, I have billed out more than anyone else in the company. I really wish we still got bonuses for monthly billings 2/26/2010 12:44:03 PM |
