I'm currently doing nothing but eating a lot of my dad's bandwidth, though I'm half-actively looking for a job. I guess that classifies me as NEET/unemployed. |

Still employed as a computer technician. I'm one of the lucky ones, local...since a lot of people, my father included, were laid off on the 31st of December. |

Naw, I haven't lived with my father for over...four years now. Actually, he used to be in construction, a branch manager at a place that went through construction lettings for signs and plans and other stuff and the start of his troubles was back right when the economy was about to tank and the completely shut down his department that was there after 35 years. Since then he'd been looking for odd jobs and ended up with a job...basically selling pipes and other plumbing utilities for not too much money an hour (about half or less what he was making before that).
Course, he was one of the only hard workers there, too...even though he's pushing 50. And he's one of the ones that did deliveries with that kind of stuff. He hadn't been there long but it was fairly surprising to see him get cut the way he did...but with the FILO principle and the fact that they essentially knew he was pretty much too good for the job and was probably looking around anyways, it ended with him out. My sister's the same way but she ended up quitting. Her husband is still jobless. My mother still has the same job she's had since near the turn of the century...so she's really well off. |

Well, I get two ends of it...because I'm doing IT but at the same time I'm making computers and consoles that run burning and drilling machines in the steel/manufacturing industry. So that's more than just simple comp work, I'm afraid.
Although I will say we are slow as heck right now. Like construction, if people are only now getting the money to do stuff, they have to go through and order things to get to us eventually. The bad part of working like I am is that we're one of the first to go down with the economy and one of the last to pick up. As far as I know from people usually working straight IT and nothing but, there's really not been much of any change outside of when major OS releases are in...then the calls flood for HOW TO USE, etc. My type of IT help is usually local or trying to get a customer to work their burnmachine to operate their fricking laser or plasma torches and all that. |

Back to school. I started back on Wednesday the 6th and was supposed to attend for the rest of the week. But due to the weather, I got out Thursday and Friday. ____________________ No quotes found; we apologize for the inconvenience. Commas, question marks, and semicolons are available, though. |

Work, although I don't have an official job yet. Doing oddjobs mostly on prospect real estate developments, like painting garages and cleaning out walls. Not getting an actual career job at this point could tragically result in me becoming a level 60 basement troll by the end of the year.
That aside, 2010 is set to be a landmark year in my life. School is done and I've just moved to a completely different state. My life is basically a huge clean slate right now with few hindrances and enormous opportunity. |
