The semi-daily (maybe even monthly!) musings of one formerly laid off, unemployed mechanics apprentice (journeyman now!) and his tireless search for workings (which have ended! I work now).
Morning everyone. Now is the time when the credit card company is starting to call about past due payments. Yay, this is where unemployment becomes fun. Hopefully my EI can cover most of what is needed to catch up, certainly won't be all of it. Oh well. It's a nice day here, NHL season starts for my Vancouver Canucks in 4 days, so there's some things to be happy about and look forward to. Last nights dream included me trying to figure out a way to buy a $5000 model excavator. They exist. It runs on batteries, but has working hydraulics and everything. Man I want one of these.
I had a tonka excavator that looked like that. But you had to move the scoop by hand with levers on the arm. This one looks a little more fun, but I did love that tonka.
Fucking drool is right. That little guy will certainly keep you in debt so resist the urge. Also, you'd be surprised at how the CC companies would be willing to help you with your debt if you talk to them. Sounds weird, I know, but it doesn't hurt to check.
Freaking awesome it would be cooler if it worked with gas :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteI agree with the guy above!

ReplyDeleteYou too? Damn, my home phone is ringing 24/7. I disconnect it though so I wont be bothered.
ReplyDeleteHa, it is rather neat, but that seems a bit steep.
ReplyDeleteawesome
ReplyDeleteI would have been so happy if I had one of those as a kid :(
well, some are luckier than others
I usually just ignore credit card bills.
ReplyDeleteHey! I'm a Vancouverite as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that you are out of work. I dunno what a mechanics apprentice does but it sounds fancy.
Good luck! (GO CANUCKS!)
that cat picture is really cutsie!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you should be spending 5k if your credit card payments are past due!
ReplyDeleteWow cool vid :o
ReplyDelete"Drooling"?
ReplyDeleteWhat a nerd. ;)
I want that excavator lol
ReplyDelete@JDF i think he SHOULD be speending 5k if his credit cards payements are past due. Just on his credit card debit.
