"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...” -
Within the derail, there has been some good advice. No harm, no foul.
Oh dear.

It's all about perspective. Compared to much of Europe we're doing swell. But compared to the levels of unemployment we're used to (around 5%) it's pretty bad. And of course there are loads of people who have either given up looking for work or are woefully underemployed/underpaid relative to their education level.
In all honesty the shift in the jobs model has been brewing for at least a couple decades in this country...if you don't have the brains and education for hard math and science, you have a significantly tougher path to getting a job than those who do. Obviously you can't have a country where everyone does a math and science dependent job which is what makes this really hard. And if you don't have a college education, gone are the days where you could actually own a home and make a decent living as a blue collar worker. My grandfather was a truck driver and my grandmother didn't work. He owned a house and while he lived modestly, he lived comfortably. There's no way in hell you could do that today.
I've had my own issues finding a job in the last year since getting laid off. I thankfully have one now but we're nervous as to the workflow and whether there will be stoppages and call backs. I never thought I'd get to the point where I would be thrilled to wake up Monday morning and go to work because it meant that I had a job.
But we all trudge on and to bring this back on topic, I commend Shoes for swallowing her pride and dealing with the cards she was dealt. Like I said, make small talk with all the customers, maybe someone drops off a business card for you so you can move to something better. And just keep looking even while working.Comment

I just got a Yankee Candle postcard in the mail today. I threw it away.
A million candles a week? Who the fuck is buying those stupid candles?
A lot of houses burning down, I bet.Comment

Fuck You Von Halen.
Yankee Candles are the shit!
I stop in my Yankee Candle store once every few weeks and buy a bag full of shit.
I bet my house smells a lot better than Von Halen's... his house probably reeks of dried up semen and man-ass! Jerk!
Congratulations SS... Yankee Candle is cool in my book.Comment

Congrats Shoes!!
Fuck off Von... You're just pissy because they don't carry Old Skank scents in Orange to match your man-whore shorts...
I figured these stinky candles wouldn't be a big seller down in the south due to the name... but appears they are sold all over the place down here."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

Congrats! You may enjoy it more than you think you will. Look at the DD job (or lack of) as a blessing in disguise. I am not sure you would have liked that one in the end.Comment

Hey, dumb and dumber, shut the fuck up.
You are right about one thing Mr. Wanker. You are buying a bag of shit. Your house must smell like a French brothel.
Zah, here you go again, derailing the same fucking thread you already derailed. Go back to filling your house with smell of boiling pigs feet.Comment
