A job.... Finally
« on: August 13, 2010, 05:25:38 PM »
Thank you Lord,

I got a job offer today for a field tech position with a wireless broadband company.  As some of you know I've been unemployed since March when a short term contract job expired.  And prior to that I was unemployed from Jan 09 - Oct 09.

It feels so good to know that I will be able to keep the house.

I feel like I am walking on air today.

You make for a real shitty liberal, you know that?

Ted Kennedy must weep from his grave when he sees people like you carrying on like this.

You're a sad, bitter disappointment to the entire progressive movement.

I hope you're happy with yourself.

Congratulations!!  I'm so excited for you.  Of course, finding a job is much easier for hard working people, considering all the slack offs content to suck at government's teat for 99 weeks.  They are such  :loser:

You're a winnah!  Good luck with the job and thank God you can keep your house.

Installing, maintaining, and configuring the cell transceivers and generator equipment.  Doing service calls for corporate and private customers that have the wireless access points etc...
