Mark F. Barnes Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 He hasn't left, he's just dealing with a career change currently and hasn't logged on in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo58 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 He hasn't left, he's just dealing with a career change currently This is happening with many people as we speak. I am hearing more and more every other day. Grey skies are going to clear out, put on a happy face, right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanS Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 He hasn't left, he's just dealing with a career change currently and hasn't logged on in a month....ok... did his electricity get shut off? You change careers, and suddenly, you don't have internet access? Or are able to post to HAIF? I mean, I know we're in hard times, but come on now.I liked TV.

TheNiche Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 ...ok... did his electricity get shut off? You change careers, and suddenly, you don't have internet access? Or are able to post to HAIF? I mean, I know we're in hard times, but come on now.I liked TV.As soon as I got laid off, I had my home telephone and DSL internet service disconnected, and now I only pay for basic no-frills cell phone service. I also had to give my laptop back to the company, leaving me with no computer for over two weeks before I got around to ordering all the parts to build myself a new one. And even as I type this, I'm pirating--this being an option that I'm sure most people don't have. And the sucky thing about pirating is that the reliability of my connection is dependent upon upkeep by someone who isn't even savvy enough to enable a secured wireless network.So no, this wouldn't come as very much of a shock. When you're unemployed and you don't know how long that'll be the case, you have to cut back drastically, immediately, and consistently--just in case.

TheNiche Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 ARRRRR, matey ! Mention a pirate on HAIF, and it's followed up within 10 minutes by a lame joke. It may as well be forum policy. I don't understand it, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 This is a little off subject but I just got word from a person I know that has worked at MD Anderson Med Ctr for eons and she said they are going into another urgent meeting to announce more lay-offs. and just a word of caution is any time you hear of these BIG career fairs with numerous companies there to take your resume...don't get too excited. Almost every one of the people on the other side of the counter will direct you to their website. You may be wasting time & $ on parking. In most cases the booths are unmanned & just have the logo on the backdrop curtain. Like a bad joke. The lotto used to be a last resort but even they have dropped in sales. Prozac anyone?

All depends on the content of your posts. Go back if you have time and look at some of TexasVines' posts, particular those that have a more political edge just on regular topics, and you'll see why people are wondering "whoa, where'd that guy go?"

crunchtastic Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I had wondered what happened to Vines. Thought perhaps he stumbled across a grammar book, and his life was so profoundly changed by the chapters on punctuation that he's on personal sabbatical while he takes it all in. Kidding! I have missed Vines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
