skinny Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 ok so work has me on call baisis now (should have seen that one ) the place I was is related to fresh food processing so now harvest is over so am I more or less. So I'm back to having time on my hands while looking for work. here are some things I would like to do if some cash comes in and bills are paid sell my car (this generates cash for other stuff too) Fish is on top of list (saving fuel right now too) replace the floors in my boat (anyone have a cad outline for a 16ft starcraft tiller I could design stuff) fix my trolling motor (going to rebuild broken mount out of steel ) paint living room (need paint) mess with smoke house (this will happen once I get it here from my brothers ) build dog teather line lower my boat trailer some more (have few places it would make it easier to reload) Just seems when the cash is around i'm working and no real time for projects and when I'm not working there is no cash flow and still tough to get the projects done.

lew Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 If I was unemployed and out of money, I'd be worrying about lots more things than fixing up my boat. But maybe that's just me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinny Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) well the boat will be next on the list to sell along with lots of other stuff the car has been looking for new owner for some time Oh don't you guys think for a minute I haven't been thinking about tons of stuff and trying to get all my ducks lined up. but working on other projects around home also helps me to not completely freak out. managed to land few yard keeping jobs in the area for the next couple of days hope the weather sort of holds out.

Selling your car when you're out of work to make ends meet makes sense but getting to job interviews and even the odd jobs Skinny has found will be much easier with a car than a boat. You're right, I'm fortunate enough to have never been out of work but if I were I can guarantee it'd be my toys that would be going first not my only means of transport.

Sorry if my honesty offends! Honesty is saying what we know or suspect to be real, even when we don’t like the consequences. It is also much more. Because most deception is actually self deception, true honesty requires that we recognize our natural human penchant for fooling ourselves. In particular, honesty requires that we guard against self-serving biases: our tendency to seek confirmation for what we already believe while ignoring contradictory evidence; our tendency to put blame on others and take credit for ourselves; our tendency to think that what is good for us is good for the world and even to make the gods themselves in our own image. Honesty is a lifetime process of catching ourselves in falsehood and, however reluctantly, turning away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuzza Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 You also don't know any details. It is not his daily driver that he is selling! You're right - it does come across that he's selling his only mode of transport. If he has two cars the he does right selling one of them. Good luck finding a job Skinny.....

Big Cliff Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) I guess I am one of the lucky ones, I have never been out of work, I have been unemployed a few times and I have had to change careers a few times but I have always been able to find work of some sort even if it was only enough to pay the bills. That you find yourself in a position where you have to sell your car and boat to make ends meet I find truly sad, I wish you lived over here, I have so much work available that I couldn't possibly handle it all and I'm supposed to be retired LOL. If you ever think about relocating, think Lindsay and give me a shout good fishing, and plenty of work if you are willing to do it. Good luck in your job search, hang in there, something will come up! Edited October 18, 2011 by Big Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Just seems when the cash is around i'm working and no real time for projects and when I'm not working there is no cash flow and still tough to get the projects done. We can easily express this in the form of a very popular mathematical equation where: Time = Money (or Time is Money) If we however bring money over to the left side of the equation with time, we get Time – Money = 0 0 represents the benefit of having free time and negative money (or bills to pay). In this case, there isn't It’s impossible to get free time & money working harmoniously together unless you factor in additional functions such as: Vegas, lottery, possibly sketchy occupations involving highly illegal activities Best of luck Skinny...Hang in there and do what you gotta do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
