After 18 months being laid off.. I was called by the owner, he wants me back.... :-)

Words can't explain the feeling. I am actually dumbfounded and in shock. Not that I don't deserve it, I worked very hard and did my best while I worked for him. He talked very highly of my work and would not pay me less than what I had been making, but also he wanted me to be satisfied also.  After the call... I walked up to my wife and hugged her and both of us had tears in our eyes.

Well, that's good news, and congratulations, but hasn't this been a rather long time coming.

I thought il Duce Bo was going to have this taken care of at 11:01 a.m. January 20, 2009.

The primitives promised us he would.

In case one needs reminded, that was a very long time ago.

29. That is exactly my age... 

For the first time in my life I haven't been able to find adequate work. I was starting to wonder about what I could offer to an employer.

I wish you well...and as I told my Father in Law who was concerned about my unemployment running out... "Every life one lives will have points of uncertainty. But one thing that is for certain is that a door will appear when needed. It has happened in my parents lives and my own. So I told him not to worry, something will happen I was certain of it. This was two weeks ago. It was quite a call to him to inform him that indeed something did happen and I got called back to work. Be luck or coincidence, I am not sure.... but it's what I call Faith.

Not in a Supreme Being...but Faith in myself that if I always work hard and do my best at whatever I do... things will always work out.

13. Wonderful news for you and your family. We all need to hear some good news these days too!

Yeah, there hasn't been any good news ever since January 20, 2009.

One wonders what's up with that.

54. on the phone he said ... " I don't know if your available " I had to work at not jumping out of my chair and yell "When do I start?" I kept calm ... took a deep breath and explained I would be honored to come back and work for him. It's dealing with the manufacturing of VERY high end furniture. Exclusive stuff.

Oh.

So that's the sort of work the joker primitive does.

Probably one of those Vermontese woodworking shops that cater to the rich.

56. I hope so...

This companies clientele are in the top 1% in income in the U.S.

When I got laid off ... the owner told me sales had dropped over 50% in about two months. I was in the 2nd wave of layoffs. He said ... these people are still very rich. But in the last year (2008) their net worth had dropped almost in half... so if they were worth $10 million .. they were now worth about $5 million. Still very wealthy but it made them think about where they were spending their money and a $10,000 buffet MAYBE isn't such a good idea.

Anyway.. I hope it is a good sign things are going to pick up in all sectors.

Someone should alert the blue primitive, the "bluestateguy" primitive, (the campfire about taxing the wealthy, brought over just before this one) this is what the wealthy do with their money; they create jobs.

If anybody had a single brain cell, they could see that staring them right in the face in that story.  "This is what the wealthy do with their money.  Create jobs."   Here you have one of your very own, called back to work on high-end furniture, and he's overjoyed.  THINK DUMMIES.

They claim that "trickle down" doesn't work. It may not make everyone wealthy but it does keep the economy rolling. They also do not realize that if you aren't taxing the rich to death that the money still ends up in the treasury. The rich person buys a yacht for example. The Yacht dealer employees people who pay taxes. The dealer pays federal and state taxes on each sale and on any profits made. The factory that makes the yacht also has employees and they pay taxes too. As an added bonus the money that goes to profits and paychecks gets put into other parts of the economy who in turn pay taxes on that money. So the govt still gets a lot of money but in the process people have jobs and keep the economy rolling along. Now if you just tax the piss out of the rich it disrupts the cycle and the govt ends up with all the money and most people won't have jobs.

Lurking DUmmies, please read the post directly above very carefully.  You have to admit it makes sense.  It's very straight-forward.

See, this proves that jobs don't come from the private sector, they come from gov't.  This primitive should send a note to Dear Leader and thank him for proping up multi-national corps so that the wealthy can continue to buy $10,000 buffets and he can have a job.

Do these idiots even realize what they're saying from one post to another?

48. O.K. this sucks! I can't stop crying.
   
I'm a 200+ pound Sheet Metal Worker who accepts pain as a part of life. I don't cry, but
I am crying now in happiness for you. I know how devastating being unemployed can be and how uplifting being valued and employed can make you feel. Good on you!

That's one of my favorite DUmmies!  I wrote a story about him, incorrectly calling him StraightStory.  He's the guy who was roasting a goose or duck, when a homeless guy knocked on his door.  OWTH gave him a glass of water and a peanut butter sandwich, then locked himself in the bathroom and bawled like a baby.

Karin, read that again.  The two words are mutually exclusive.  It would never happen.

So, the people who buy his products are people like "us"?

Ten bucks says he's on the street by the end of the year.

People like "us" aren't spending any money, we're socking it away because the president is an idiot and the congress is a pack of thieves.

18 months?  Hell, he could have had his own shingle set up and turning a profit by now, even in this economy.  He was enjoying the unemployment.
