Thanks harry - I have considered that, I've felt the immediate urge to travel for the next two weeks. Nothing crazy but rarely been off the East Coast.

Got no wife, kids, just myself so I don't need to jump into the next offer that hits me.

**jjgold** · 03-22-16, 11:27 PM

Stealthy tough luck there but you post all day like us and you gamble all day and try to supplement your income by doing hard work

**Russian Rocket** · 03-22-16, 11:29 PM

applying for a job online is cool, but that's what everyone else is doing it also

hit networking mixer for young professionals like yourself
also tell all of your friends and relatives that you got laid off and let them help you find a job

**stealthyburrito** · 03-22-16, 11:29 PM

JJ, oddjobs? Hell I'd stack shelves just to get myself off the couch tomorrow.

Otherwise its just all beer

**SEAHAWKHARRY** · 03-22-16, 11:31 PM

Thanks Rocket - I know what you mean, applying for a job online is like social media movements, they amount to just a few keystrokes of movement and not much else.

I'm a tad (read - a lot) unsocial, particularly in networking events. They feel fake to me. I've pulled my friends in for help but a lot of them don't work in my industry.

**konck** · 03-22-16, 11:34 PM

turn to drugs hammer them until your arrested then you live rent free

**Russian Rocket** · 03-22-16, 11:39 PM

You don't have to be outgoing or social when you go to those events...just be clean, presentable, firm and know how to sell yourself with a few short sentences.
Also get yourself a handful of recruiters who work for big name hiring agencies...they are the once who would generally have pocket listings for new openings that haven't been posted online yet.

gl to you!

**The Giant** · 03-22-16, 11:42 PM

I have no doubt you'll land on your feet, stealthy.

You're a good dude. Best of luck.

Hey!

When I asked you last night about my difficulty in quitting my daily indulgance of peanuts you gave me the exact same response.

Is that your generic scripted response to anyones problem??

**stevek173** · 03-22-16, 11:49 PM

Very sorry to hear this burrito. Probably best to take a couple weeks or so and travel or whatever you want to do. Since you've been laid off you should get unemployment no problem.

**Da Manster!** · 03-22-16, 11:49 PM

sup Steathy!...first and foremost, sorry to hear the bad news...that sucks losing your job, livelihood, and income...I hope your situation is well enough so you don't need to find employment ASAP'ish...but your DC tough like the rest of DMV boyz, you'll be alright!...which reminds me, now that you have some free time, come on to Annapolis and I'll treat you to lunch at Mike's Crabhouse like I promised you way back when!...

....being self-employed, weekdays (M - F) are the best for me...HAIL!...

I have no doubt you'll bounce back from this, Seaweed.

Hey Manny, long time no chat man. job and income lost - yes. Livelihood? No. I wasn't long for the industry and it's certainly not life and death. I have about 18 months to live off of comfortably. In any event, despite today's setback, I've been feeling a lot better physically. Now that you brought the crabhouse back up, obviously that's something I gotta do. After all, I'm unemployed

What's the name of the crab joint just passed the bay bridge? I've gone that a dozen times just don't remember. It's pricey but incredible.

a better way to do this, is to find a job right away...tell them that you can start in 1-2 weeks and then go to travel during that time

a healthy 26 y.o. shouldn't rely on milking sorry ass unemployment checks, if he's capable of making a lot more while working at a regular job

Most conflicts and background checks take close to 3-4 weeks given the speed of clearance. But your point is well taken that unemployment is not worth the bureaucratic headache.

Rule number one in posting: never tell Manster your name.

Thankfully I convinced him that my name is Jeremiah.

sup Deuce!...

...the bay bridge is just 5 minutes from where I live!...anyhow, the crab house that you are referring to I believe is called Stevensville Crab Shack...it's the first crab joint pass the bridge on the right hand side....and the other two famous in that area are the kentmorr restaurant and Harris crab house towards Grasonville...yes, they are pricey but that's the going rate just about anywhere...but Mike's in Annapolis is actually reasonably priced with a plethora of lunch specials, not just seafood...but I love Jumbo crabs...expensive, but damn good!...besides, I just withdrew $750 from my Bookmaker account after kicking some NCAA tournament ass so life is good!...

congrads
now u can gamble full time

**unde0087** · 03-23-16, 12:24 AM

Stealthy, sorry to hear this. Although you are young and maybe this is a good thing. If you weren't happy anyways you still have plenty of time to get into something you like doing. Can't go to work everyday hating it.

**stealthyburrito** · 03-23-16, 12:27 AM

Unde, what do ya do in your free time?

If you say gamble I'll cut your balls off

**eidolon** · 03-23-16, 12:34 AM

Porn, Poker, Party-favors

It's called Hemingways. Just looked at Amex bill. It's literally right off the bridge. Before the airport even.
