I had a job with great pay. I was making 40K a year while all of my friends where still in college. I had great benifits, paid vacation, the works and was out of my parents house. Even though I was living the good life I quit because I didn't like my job.
I was working on the rail road all the live long day, and quite literally. Going to work 3 times every two days and having only 4 hours of sleep between jobs if I was lucky. The unions, politics between the workers and manangement, and the hours turned me into a fat miserable person, till I quit.
I didn't have anything lined up when I gave them my notice. I am currently living off of student loans and handouts while trying to pay for my brand new vehicle and college.
I was able to land a decent job at the local oil company (beats McD's) as a part time IT person. Making decent pay, but nothing like I did when on the railroad.
My recommendation is to find a better job. Have something lined up before hand. The economy is tight and you might not be able to find a better job and good luck!
I am in the process of turning an old Apple ][ into a newer computer. I followed the directions from the Typewriter-Keyboard
It works, there is a huge mess of wires under the keyboard, but nobody sees it anyway. You also do not get most of the 101 or so keys, I believe there are 51 or 52 keys (somewhere around there) so if you are going to use it as a regular computer, it would be wise to hook up an regular keyboard.
If you go to their site, it proclaims that there is "NO rip-off popcorn". They encourage to bring your own, just do not make a mess.
They make their money by cutting the overhead:
"The efficiency of easyCinema starts at the box office which we have quite simply removed. Seats are booked online or by phone (soon to be available on a premium rate line), and the earlier you book the less you pay."
They also try to get a larger quantity of people:
"On average across the whole cinema industry and across all showings the average occupancy of cinemas is currently only 20%. Four fifths of cinema seats are going empty and yet cinemas continue to charge high prices. What we are doing at easyCinema is lowering the price in order to get more customers. We will make money as a business and more members of the public will get to see more films more often."
"There's a guy- I don't know if you've heard about this guy, he's been on the news a lot lately. There's a guy- he's English, I don't think we should hold that against him, but apparently this is just his life's dream because he is going from country to country. He has a senate hearing in this country coming up in a couple of weeks. And this is what he wants to do.
He wants to make the warnings on the packs bigger. Yeah! He wants the whole front of the pack to be the warning. Like the problem is we just haven't noticed yet. Right? Like he's going to get his way and all of the sudden smokers around the world are going to be going, "Yeah, Bill, I've got some cigarettes.. HOLY SHIT! These things are bad for you! Shit, I thought they were good for you! I thought they had Vitamin C in them and stuff!"
You fucking dolt! Doesn't matter how big the warnings are. You could have cigarettes that were called the warnings. You could have cigarrets that come in a black pack, with a skull and a cross bone on the front, called tumors and smokers would be lined up around the block going, "I can't wait to get my hands on these fucking things! I bet you get a tumor as soon as you light up! Numm Numm Numm Numm Numm"
Doesn't matter how big the warnings are or how much they cost. Keep raising the prices, we'll break into your houses to get the fucking cigarettes, ok!? There a drug, we're addicted, ok!? Numm Numm Numm Numm Numm *wheeze*"
Or maybe that's where they got their idea...
Like it? But too lazy to build it?
