to point out that it's *absurd* that I've been job hunting for over a year. I don't care that the job market sucks, anyone should be able to get a job in a year, especially a college graduate that bathes regularly and can make coffee.

Lord.

You may now turn back to your regularly scheduled perusing.

Well, Starbucks has reached saturation level so I guess they don't need any more baristas?

It took me 3 weeks to find a new job when I was told our think-tank was closing, back in March this year. It's only a part-time job, though it's paid the same as full-time the job I'd just left.

I'm still looking for something to fill in the remaining 2 days a week. Maybe if we get all the unemployed from =4 we can start a consultancy firm. We would consult on, erm, MMO matters, and on abortion and guns and gays and stuff?

Come to Atlantic Canada, the recession barely touched us, relatively speaking.

It's actually kind of ironic; everyone going into trades here in Atlantic Canada usually heads out to the oilfields in Alberta lookin for big money, and easy jobs. They found them in droves, good money, more jobs than people, etc. I actually had a friend with no marketable skills whatsoever who went out there, he worked at McDonald's for 2 years there - and somehow was making more than I was making back here working for the government(granted, with the difference in cost of living I was still making a ton more than him on a relative scale).

Then the recession hit, now they're all coming back, hat in hand, looking for jobs back home, where the market seemed to remain stable. Sure am glad I found my career while they were all off diggin for oil.

haha, thanks, and I'm not unemployed, thank god. I think I'd have lost my mind by now if I were actually unemployed...so I can't complain *too* much.

There was an article in the paper the other day about unemployment here, which is double digit as of this summer. One of the people interviewed said he was having to ask his family in Mexico for money.

I had to laugh.

It would certainly be the premier consultation firm on all matters concerning trolls. But who'd wanna hire a firm with no potential for a fifth star?

I was born in New Brunswick--that's where my mom is from and my whole family is right now. My cousin decided not to move to Edmonton. And a bunch of others came back from Toronto.

Where are you in New Brunswick? I was born and have family in Perth Andover (and florenceville,Grand Falls, Hartland, etc. etc)--though my mom is actually from River De Chute-which isn't really a town or a village, just an area. But a bunch of other people live in Fredricton.

Hang in there, Nexa. Here's hoping for the best.
