I know all of you at one point have tried to find work after a job has been down sized or just plain let go and have come up short the hunt for the next one. Well I'm in that boat and my student loan has kicked back live. I'm taking a small hiatus until I can get a job. I just hope it's before my due date of payment or otherwise I pray I can get it re deferred oh joy more interest.

Until then peace out M.R.C..

Hi all in happy M.R.C. land I'm still kicking :lol: still nothing in the job hunt and it's driving me nuts. I'd just thought I'd hop back in here and give a heads up I hope something comes up soon or a good lead turns up. Until then I miss you all and don't worry I'll be back with a vengeance.

You know PJ, I've just been EXACTLY where you are right now and I know it sucks. You just have to hang in there and keep at it. Yeah I know that sounds like blowing useless sunshine at you but its the truth. Things WILL improve.

See you around when they do PJ.

Never forget that you a bit of a fixture around the MRC so you return will be a welcome event.

Hey all in M.R.C. land the job hunt continues, but what sucks is when life throws you a curve ball. On Mon I had a fun time in the E.R. not, I ended up getting skin infection on my right leg due to some complication of being type 2 Diabetic. Well long story short I'm on two kinds of Antibiotics leg still hurts like mad, but the meds help.

So anyhow I hope to return, but that will determine if the job hunt pans out. Many leads no bites. Oh well back to the grind stone peace to all.

Hi all in M.R.C. land I'm still alive and kicking and frustrated as hell that there are many job leads I have followed and still nothing to show for it.

When life gives you lemons... :lol: I'm almost considering school again or I might just be filing bankruptcy for the fun loving medical bills that I cannot pay. Oh well life goes on and I just wanted to pop in say hi and wish you all well being and happy and great gaming.

I SHALL RETURN! I promise you that.

Hi all in happy M.R.C. land Yes, I still live and have exciting news. I have a major job lead which has resulted in the company pushing me forward to an interview. I'm just waiting for the phone call for time and date to go in or have it over the phone.

What is the job you might ask? Well Microsoft has used this company Comsys for various contracts and they just got a video game testing contract for their Xbox 360 system. If I get hired I'm looking at a year of work at $11 an hour.

Wish me luck.

Big update on my job opportunity. I've got a phone interview on Friday at 3:40pm p.s.t. :o I now just got to keep myself calm and not psych myself out and shoot myself in the foot so to speak.

Anyhow I'll keep you all posted after it is over.

WOOT! Exciting news peeps. Looks like I've impressed the gentleman over the phone enough to warrant a in person interview some time later this week.

Then if all still goes well I'll be looking at a start date April 15th'ish.
