And the winner is...........

This guy!Remember my last post where I was all pissed off about not getting yet another job. Well this is the guy who got it.

Now I wish him the best of luck and have nothing against him but I will say look at this:

http://www.knewsradio.com/podcast

If you look at the right hand side it says:

"COMING SOON
Podcasts of the new afternoon show on KNews Radio beginning May 3, 2010."

Which is great but they are not yet available.

This may be a little nit-picking but that wouldn't happen on my watch. I was (am) an anal-retentive when it comes to work.

But hey...I'm sure everything else is just right.

I am so fucking pissed off right now that I am surprised that I haven't started breaking shit. Throwing and breaking shit is definitely not my normal m.o. but my frustration level has reached such a point that I wouldn't put it passed me.

So I applied for yet another job. I was selected as one of the 15 candidates to be interviewed. This was out of 100 applicants. I believe the interview went well. I answered all of the questions honestly and openly. Why wouldn't I? I have nothing to hide and I want you to know and understand who you will be working with.

So the selection process was made and the field was narrowed. Did I make the cut? NO! Why? I want too much money.

Now considering that this is not the first time I have hear this, you would think that I would be smart enough to lower my price. I would if I could afford to but considering that I live at the bare minimum now, I don't know how much lower I can get.

I am not the money motivated type. It's never been that important to me. I only worry about having enough to support my family. Most of my things are held together by spit and wire. I get furniture off of craigslist and have been able to learn many things so I have the ability to do them myself. So I find it incredible that the amount of money I need has become the issue.

Now in the several interviews and applications I have had, the discussions always talk about how my job is not a "9 to 5" position or how "being available" is of primary importance. How having a "flexible schedule" is a job requirement. I understand these things and my family understands them because we have lived them for the last 15 years. I have missed birthdays, anniversary's, weddings, plays, sporting events and holiday gatherings because this is the life we have chosen. What I don't understand is how they expect to pay part-time wages for a more than full time job.

I saw some fucking congressman on CNN the other day saying Americans who aren't working just don't want to work. I wish I could punch him in the fucking head. I don't have a 2000 square foot house. I don't have a car younger than 10 years old. I don't have credit card debt. I didn't buy my house with less than 10 percent down. So how many fucking jobs do I have to have to keep from living on the fucking street? How many fucking times do I have to go back to school to get a job that barely pays off the student loan?

Fuck piss shit fuck motherfucker bitch fuck.

Just so you know.

(CBS News)

Actor Corey Haim Dies at 38
Drug Overdose Eyed as Possible Cause of Death; Actor Reportedly Taking Medication to Battle Flu-Like Symptoms

The 38-year-old Canadian-born actor, who broke into films as a child, died in Los AngelesFormer teen idol Corey Haim, best known for his role in the 1987 hit "The Lost Boys," has died after a well-documented battle with drug addiction and a string of B-movie roles aimed at returning to the spotlight. He was 38.

The Toronto-born actor died at a Burbank hospital early Wednesday morning, said Lt. Cheryl MacWillie of the Los Angeles County coroner.

Shouldn't BOTH of the "Corys" Have died?

Now I DO want to hit someone!

Today CBS News reported that the "Leaders" in Washington D.C. have been working on a jobs bill. Good deal right? I'm unemployed. I want to work. So let's hear from the Senate.

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid suggested Monday -- it could bring down the rate of domestic violence. "I met with some people while I was home dealing with domestic abuse. It has gotten out of hand," Reid said on the Senate floor, the Hill newspaper reports.

"Why? Men don't have jobs." Even though women are losing jobs as well, "women aren't abusive, most of the time," Reid said. "Men, when they're out of work, tend to become abusive."

"It (domestic abuse) has gotten out of hand." Is the senator suggesting that there was a sufficient amount of spousal abuse before the economic down-turn and with Americans returning to work we can go back to a much more agreeable amount of spousal abuse?

Although there is a connection, are there degrees? I need a flow chart.

Unemployed = Wife beater

Under employed = Verbal abuser and kicks dog.

Employed but not in your field = Punches walls, drinks to excess.

Decent Job = Decent to spouse but masturbates to hot chicks on Univision.

Good Job = Happy, happy, happy. Fights with umps at kids sporting events.

Great Job = Excellent person. Non-violent. Get mistress so you don't accidentally bang your wife.

There you go. I feel better. I'm going to look for a job now.

This probably isn't funny.

I probably shouldn't joke about this but Viagra could make a mint off this story:

Andrew Koenig Reported Missing
Actor Andrew Koenig, who starred on Growing Pains back in the day, has been reported missing, the Vancouver Police say. He has not been seen in a week.
Koenig, who played Mike Seaver's (Kirk Cameron) pal Boner, was supposed to be on a flight back to the United States on February 16, but did not check in.
He was reportedly last seen a week ago. His parents have described their son as "suffering from depression" and "not doing good" in the last few weeks.
Judy and Walter Koenig (who played Pavel Chekov in the Star Trek series) say they last heard from Andrew February 9. They also say his cell phone is off.

All Viagra has to do is hire about 100 detectives, find him and then run an ad campaign saying "Lost your Boner....Viagra can help."

On a side note, his dad was Chevkov from Star Trek. Great acting runs in the family.

If this don't do it........

So I was interviewed by All Access.com about being unemployed. In the radio profession they call it "on the beach."

It's weird, but a lot of people seem to be very interested in what it's like to be out of a job.

You can find the interview here.

I think I do a better interview that being interviewed.

I just hope it gets me a job.

I want to thank the Academy

Wow!!!!!!!!

I never expected this.

To be nominated for Funniest Commenter at Candy's Daily Dandy was an honor enough. But to actually WIN!

Well I can only say I am shocked and it will probably take a couple of days for it to really sink in.

When I comment, I never really think funny or not funny. I just write whatever comes to mind so to be at the top of this elite class......really I'm honored and remain in awe.
