watalife Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Can someone please tell me what is going on. People are lying and disappearing with no explanation. If convicted felons have work programs then there should be work for me. I'm not a felon but I feel like one.

I don't know much about living in America. All I can say is, sorry that you can't find work right now. I really want a job too.. I feel like I need to move first though. After that, I'm guessing if might not be so easy for me to find work with so many people out of work due to covid but the best I can do is to keep trying Edited November 9, 2020 by Nightjar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I need a job I go to a temporary agency. Usually they hire anyone that walks in the door and half the time you will be working within a day or two. Yes it's very hard work usually like factory work but it's something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watalife Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 @sober4life I've did that before in the past and as soon as I do the paperwork and wait for 1 hour they say they don't have anything that would work for me. If I'm so crazy why didn't I get approved for a check. No one should have to be in this mess if they dont even want to be alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watalife Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Now I know why I spent all those years working 40 hours a week skipping all family gatherings birthdays and whatever else because family don't give a dam about you. And if they don't really care why would I care. Now that I'm out of work and in one of the worst depressions I've had ( I've had about 2 3 or 4) there is still no one there. I will never refer to family again once I get out if this or 'if' I do. It will be work work work then on my death bed or floor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The reason I'm here is because of me. My family will put me away somewhere at some point and show up once a year for my birthday and make a big deal of it like they're royalty showing up.

Is there still factory work in your country? Thought all of them have moved to China/Southeast/South Asia because those countries have no minimum wage laws. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the world the politician that wants to raise minimum wage seems like the good guy but in reality he will take jobs away from the area. The reason he wants to raise minimum wage is probably because he makes money from overseas companies. He has a nice smile though so he must be a nice guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulgakov Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Lemur Followup There's a ring-tailed lemur named Maki in my photo album. Someone recently tried to kidnap him from the SF zoo, and he escaped from his captors, etc. Coincidentally, a lemur documentary came on tv so I watched. Googled then a little. They're amazing primates, and some--primates--like the ring-tailed lemur and the golden lion marmoset, look like they just leapt from a Dr. Seuess page. Of 90 to 100 known lemur species, all live on the small island of Madagascar. And to a species they're all on the endangered species list because of creeping habitat loss. You could write you congressman, or have a car wash to raise awareness, but seriously nothing will help the lemurs. It seems very sad, but that may be because we're in the peculiar position of being aware of these global changes like no one before us. From Google: "Scientists estimate that at least 99.9 percent of all species of plants and animals that ever lived are now extinct." I've heard that before. That includes many human species. Most of history, the only way you'd notice if an animal species was dying out was if it had been a part of your diet, or you a part of its. We get more information than we can handle I think, more than we can juggle into meaning. "Well, I'll be a ring-tailed lemur," used to mean something to people.

It's so scary feeling like the only one that sees what's really going on around me most of the time. We're all on a big ship headed straight for a huge iceberg and most of the people on board are pointing at the ice saying look how shiny and pretty it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugs like ants or termites sometimes eat the wood. The wood might be eaten hollow. One of the trees I took down this year it had an outside shell but that's about it. The ants destroyed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another possibility is difference in density due to different growing conditions while the wood was being formed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An oak tree here might be completely different somewhere across the country.

watalife Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 @jkd_sd I figured that was it. I just can't believe the difference in appearance as well. I went to the competitor across the street this time. After staining and glossing you wouldn't believe how beautiful. Wowza! What the neck are they selling at the other store because it was flat and dull with no grain appearance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding good wood at stores is tough. It's a lot of junk with knots and it's warped a lot of the time too. I need to get into some projects myself. No way I can sit here all winter! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watalife Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) @sober4life I saw this idea online and I can't believe I didn't know of it sooner. It's really great for passing the time but it takes money. Once I'm done I will be thinking of something else to do. I hope I'm happy when finished but I know I will be on to my next distraction.
