  3. Holy shit, it's almost summer time and these boys are starting to get ripe. Look listen to me you freaking engineers! Old Elpaso and Buttered Curry are not acceptable forms of freaking deodorant! WTF is the matter with you people! Soap+water+doederant=non freaking stinky office! And it's started to spread around the building, I went out for lunch to Costco and bought one of those 100 packs of Fabreeze and gave a few to my admin and a few to my partner and a few at my desk. We are going to fight the good fight! We are going to win the fight against Engineering / Scientists Funk!

  6. I live in a supposedly prosperous state of NJ thanks greatly in part to the financial power houses in NYC the feeling with me and many of my mid 30's friends is that the future is truly uncertain. Many of us have large student loans on variable interest rates and income that is either flat or well below what we expected to make even though we have technical degrees. The older folks seem to be taking this great recession better. I guess life is easy when your mortgage is paid off and are in a secure working environment. However we younger folks are really starting to feel the crunch. And I'm sure many DZ's will be feeling it was well. Last year the local Dz's had a double hit with the very bad weather and a slow economy. But now with the economy almost flat lined I expect to see much less people jumping and maybe more rigs up for sale. $100 a day in jumps is good money people could use to fill up their gas tanks! So I really don't see many fun jumpers making the long drive and then spending the money. And I honestly don't see many people with the $200+ needed for a tandem. I fear it will not be the best year for skydiving and the same can be said about the future. I have recently obtained my MBA and the more I know the more fearful I get and the more hopeless I feel. I'm not sure "what" if anything will save us. In the early 90's we had the PC revolution where by everyone was buying PC's which helped pick up the economy. I just don't see any new technology that will do the same. As with the economy the engineering and technology front is now very static with respect to middle class innovation. In all the wars and all the financial messes we have been our saving grace has been our ability to innovate and utilize technology to pull our way out of the hole we found ourselves in. But right now it appears we are without a good idea. Yes you can "buy" high end technology for your health to prolong your life and a few little high end toys for the house. But none of these truly lift our economy or create jobs. You really can't have a "app economy". That's akin to attempting to only live off of red bull and skittles and then wonder what gives when your muscles atrophy and your bones degrade? Is there hope? Honestly? I don't see it. Both sides of the isle are firmly bought and paid for by those who stand to make the most money and concentrate that money in the fewest hands possible. I honestly don't see a "cure" coming from the federal government. Especially since the FedGov has been bleeding high end high pay technical jobs since early 2002.... Honestly I just don't know and I don't think the future for my generations is as bright as it was for my step father who is now 70.

  8. So how about young folks like me? I mean yeah I came from Iran and I had nothing when I got here...we just had hope that tomorrow was going to be better than today!

  10. kelpdiver I have spoken to a few professionals and they are "looking into it" but it appears that I am stuck. But I agree I would love to move a bit further south but I have something a good 15% of people in this country don't. A job that pays the bills. And though I am looking at a career change now may not be the most opportune time to do it. I think here in NJ the unemployment is officially 9% but truth be told it's over that even though we have NYC at our door step. I really do need to stop watching the news and listening to these so called experts....this great recession has done more than just cripple our economy. It may have permanently weighted our soul Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  11. For 45% of the people questioned 4+ times per week is "a lot" You know....this really scares the shit out of me. I would love to one day find that nice educated fun loving girl and ask her to marry me.....but.....you know withholding sex from a partner who has done nothing can be classified as abuse. And honestly I don't think I can ever allow myself to be in a position of being abused. And I'm a 4 times a week kind of guy...so that 45% scares the shit out of me.

  12. Yes, i did. You know I have to stop watching the news and listening to NPR on my way to work in the mornings. It's bad enough that I feel trapped in my own economic condition the fact that the outside harbors less hope than my purgatory really depresses the shit out of me. Don't you wish you could sometimes just be fat dumb and happy? Know no better and not care?

  19. Actually quite good now that I have more free time and considering where I live....I'm doing very well actually! But Master Shah never kisses and tells...just kisses! No telling. Now my vote is for Kirk. I mean the guy just pulled of the uniform a little better. Even my departed grandmother thought he was "handsome" What gets me though is how little love Scotty got! But then again he's an engineer what did you expect. http://www.markalmighty.com/wp/wp-content/gallery/posters/captain-kirk-cant-hear-you.jpg http://captainkirksguidetowomen.com/communities/7/004/006/336/377/images/4519602025_327x364.jpg Yes this is a real book!

  20. Is this the new "normal" 7-10% unemployment? Is this the new "normal" the death of the full time employment and perpetual life as independent consultants? After listening to NPR for the past few days I can't help but we a little dismayed. I don't know from any ones point of view but this gilded economy is starting to lose it's luster and the led core is starting to show. And I don't know about you guys but I don't want our nation to be on the same economic footing at third world countries such as China. Been there seen it, it's not pretty. 45% of the population perpetually sick or dying, from what best could be described as exhaustion another 45% living in fear of starvation at any moment in time and the remaining 10% living a life that well honestly would make your head spin with respect to excess. Are we on a slippery slope? I know for a fact I'm not living a life as good as my step father lived when he was my age. He was divorced at the same age more or less from his first wife and also lived in NJ. But with his one state job he was able to have his home paid off in 10 years and had a little cabin in the woods for vacation, drove a newish car and had money saved aside for retirement. And he just had a degree in sociology. I'm an engineer with an MBA and all the little certificates such as Six Sigma Black Belt and what not and I can't help but be envious of my stepfathers generation and worry about the kids I work with. How bad will their lives be? A life filled with disposable hand held computers and zero prospects of living a comfortable life much like their Chinese counterparts? For the Jellocrats and the Richuplicans sold off the country so as to do nothing but to maintain power for no one. What are your thoughts?
