hello everyone...i'm johnny cash(less)...

recently got laid off from my job, so now i've got all the time in the world to snoop around and stalk you guys and gals (maybe even do a little posting myself).

love the site, love the info. been lurking for months but felt it time to join. gotta do something with all this time, right? you can only spend so much time looking for jobs that aren't there.

love survival, hate politics (maybe it's just politicians )

look forward to seeing things from this side of the fence!

welcome friend! sorry 'bout your job loss,i'm in the same boat.
and you are correct,there is only so much job searching you can do! its not like the old days when you could just walk into a place and fill out an application!
now i have to email resumes. i am a tatto artist and i do work at home for now.
i don't watch t.v. so i'm on the computer (and this site) a lot!
3 hours emailing to jobs, the rest of the time browsing.
hope you enjoy your stay here!

walk in and fill out an application? ha...those days are few and far between. everything is online, email this, fax that. hell, what if i can't afford email/fax? guess it's back to mcdonald's for me, eh?

good luck on your job search my friend! don't have any tattoos myself but i know they are quite the craze these days and i've seen some pretty amazing things done to people's skin.

Welcome to ATS...good luck on your job hunt.....

Sorry to hear of your job loss. I'm unemployed for 3 years now but I have a 2nd interview on Thursday (meaning I've already had one interview and qualified for the next round, whatever that means). I don't mind being unemployed but living on nothing is hard.

This is a good site to learn much on diverse subjects. Enjoy your time here and I look forward to seeing you around.

Hi and welcome to ATS from another UK jobseeker!

I wish all in the same boat luck and perseverance. We are in serious trouble in the UK, it's shocking how many are in denial!

Have fun on the boards.

ya i know what u mean about the job search. the only place you can 'walk in to' is a hiring agency for $10 / hour for a few weeks!
as for tattooing yes there is amazing artwork being done,but because of the economy no one has money for ink!!!
i trade for alot of stuff which seems to work well for all!

Sorry about the mess, someone though it would be cute to teach the Greys to pole vault. What with their tiny scrawny bodies and big heads, it's kind of a cross between counting sheep and smashing pumpkins, but hey, grab a shovel and come on in.

AboveTopSecret is much like a theme park with many, many rides, with that said...
Here's a few thoughts before getting onto any one of the 1000's of topical rides at Above Top Secret, also known as ATS, the world's largest Civil & Unique Discussion Community.

*** Please be at least this tall to get on any of the rides, (Johnny stretches his arm outward), and act like an 'civil' adult. This will save you a lot of future stress, frustration and possible action by one of your friendly neighborhood Mods!

*** Please remember that some members are very passionate and vocal depending on what ride your on. Before getting on a ride, you should be mentally fit, emotionally stable and have a strong stomach for theories, conjecture, research and evidence presented that may be contrary to your own.

*** Please be "open-minded" enough to understand that sometimes the ride isn't always what you might think or expect. At times, you may learn something new and 'out-of-the-box' before you get off the ride, this is a natural and normal phenomena.

*** Please note that at times the ride gets overly-heated and "it's strongly suggested" to get off the ride to regroup one's thoughts before continuing. This will also help guarantee that the ride will move forward without getting derailed or explode into a fiery trashbin.

*** Please have fun! Be aware if you act in an uncivil-like manner, use profanity, intentionally spread a hoax and/or get verbally abusive, you will be removed off the ride by a Moderator. This is for your safety, & also for those both young and old on the ride with you.

So buckle up, keep your arms within the ride's comfort zone, have fun and "Deny Ignorance"...!
