Tanner: :(I have no advice, I've been at the same place forever. I've had a few interviews and close calls for moving on without looking too hard and I take online courses to hopefully add to my marketability. But holy crap am I lazy.Edit: I keep hoping a really rich relative of mine will buy me a golf course (with bar of course) to run. #pieinthesky

I don't think I have any marketability. Maybe if I started wearing a monocle.

The transition to some kind of manager or project manager would be pretty easy I'd think. I feel like I'm dealing with a bunch of dopes constantly...can't be all that different.

That's kind of what I was thinking. 195 14 year olds = 15 cubicle dwellers?

:(The grass is always greener GB. Every year about this time I get sort of depressed and very jealous of teachers. I've been doing this job for 21 years now, much longer if you include all the time I put in as a kid, and I wish I had more free time and feel I could do without the money. When the kids are in school, there are days I don't even see them because I'm gone before they wake up and come home when they are sleeping. Thanks to you and all of the other good teachers, it takes a special kind of person to do your job.Maybe you could announce MLB games during the summer. I hear that pays pretty well.

I hear you. My kids are basically adults now. I would be a huge hit at announcing MLB games."Sooo...coming up to bat is...um, how do you say that? Texy-era? Tashara? Anyway, Mark T is up to bat. He's batting like .260 so far. I wish I could get paid $22 million to succeed 1/4 of the time. Annnnd he pops out to left. Good job, Gaylord. What? Another Jimmy Dean plug? Christ. And that will bring Derek Jeter up to bat. Hey, Tim...did I ever tell you about the geek I knew online that counted down ever Derek Jeter hit? Total homo, right?"

Sweet. My niece was married to a dude in the army that was stationed in Germany. She said that one of the medics would make extra cash by administering IVs to hungover GIs.

You don't work during your summer vacation, right? If it's more about money, why not find a "fun" ish job to make some extra coin during that period. If it's more about a better career or whatever, why not try to take a few classes at Oildale U to make yourself more marketable in a different career path?

I've had summer jobs before. I used to substitute for the year-round community schools. I do teach summer school but thanks to budget cuts it's only 10 days long. It's not that easy finding a summer job when the employer knows you're only going to be there for 2 months max. And you've got to compete with all the college-aged kids that are looking for the same jobs.

Get yourself a website and promote yourself as a "Game Show Coach". Create a few informative instructional videos about what the producers are looking for and how to succeed and wa lah, you have people sending you 3 easy payments of 9.99. And while you're at it shoot a shot video or two.Maybe even offer to coach people on subject matter like it's an online school course.

Go to your local staffing firm and tell them exactly what you're looking for...i'll bet there are some things they can come up with

How hard can it be? I think one of the blue collar comedians said it best: There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot.

Maybe your guidance counselor can give you one of those tests to see what you're best cut out for.

Have you considered winning the lottery? Seems that may be the answer you're looking for.

Not at all. Pretty sure I stated that I just wanted a job that paid better and that I would be willing to work my ### off at it.

apparently wind is the big industry now. hiring like mad, pays well and just a little (relative) training. seems like there would be opportunities out there for you in California. must love heights

Provide the can isn't showing any signs of distending, the only risk is not getting the full nutritional value of the vegetables.

Only time the Timberwolves have ever moved up in a lottery! Too bad they don't have the pick anymore.

 

[Guster]

Found out today that as part of the corporate edict to reduce head count, everyone in my group of 6 people is getting "displaced" except for me. Don't know whether to be that it's down to just me and I'll have a crap ton more work to do or that as of today it appears I get to keep my job. Fun times in cubeville

 

[Tiger Fan]

Got a $1000 bonus today for running a conference

My wife basically destroyed her ankle at her running class today to the point where by the time she got home she was basically bawling from the pain. I made her do a shot of bourbon. Now she's on the couch with an ankle brace and heat pack, but having a glass of wine and hasn't stopped talking in like 40 minutes.

In the game and a half since Bogart's divorced was finalized, his beloved Rangers were outscored 27-3 by the Mariners. I'm not saying, I'm just saying...

Hey you wine folks:

Mrs. TF opened this bottle on Saturday night, drank 2 glasses, then corked it. How long should it last (or am I screwed already)?

Thx

Should be okay tonight- maybe even another night or two if the cork is in tight. It will taste different than the first night, but it will possibly be better.

thx

Currently drinking this while uploading a bunch of old clothes onto ebay. Pretty tasty still
