the sad but happy UP-side to this bad economy

[97BoredOutBlasta]

needless to say, the state of our economy has affected employement for many people, but the upside of my layoff is that i have had a ton more time to ride and take projects off the back burners. i hate talking about a project and then later when people ask to see how it turned out, and i say "uhhh, ya..." i guess i have no excuse now, haha. except the $$$$!

Another plus side is the cheapness of things. You can get things a lot cheaper than before.

My company called me up to the front office yesterday because they found out that I am going to be going to the Air Force soon. They just wanted to know if I might be in a position to take a voluntary lay off. Really sucks cause I need the money to pay the bills while I'm gone, but if I dont take it then someone else loses their job that may not have something else to fall back on. The real catch is the insurance. I cant afford to be without health insurance.

I work for Staples Distro and we have crazy over time cuz of back to school. I feel bad for some people cuz I have 2 jobs. Staples is my full time 3 12 hr days and then I work about 12 - 15 hrs as a part time manager at a store called Ridemakerz. Its a shop that you can build and customize remote control cars. Its cool. So luckily the economy hasnt hurt me too much. Good luck to anyone that has felt it...

It is nice now that people are getting desperate for money, although saddening all the same. I hate to take advantage of peoples problems but when your in the business I am its necessary to pay the bills and feed the family. In the past 4 months I've flipped quite a few machines, everytime I'm making money. I build a budget piece and sell for good prices, way below what others want for less, good way of making money.
