Wondered if anyone saw it before i pulled it. heh. yeah, not really the time or place for it. Had some coffee and though it over and pulled it. I was in a bit of a bad mood when i replyed, got word dell screwed the pooch and they wouldn't be able to come fix the smoldering mess of a computer i currently have... Still kind of miffed about it, but no since letting that frustration bleed through and cause someone else unneeded frustration.

A common emotion lately. We sorta read the rules on our pay and may have a fight for them to give it back. You want to bail out CEOs and then save money by yanking cash from your employees Uncle Sam? Really? That anger King is discussing is the feeling many have.|

I won't get into what and how it is happening but it is frustrating to see the top tier get all the help in the world after they fund people to get elected, meanwhile unemployment benefits get cut like an afterthought??? The class division is getting wider and wider....I digress.
Bottomline they pulled some of our pay and so we found the "rule book" and have a solid case they were wrong. We are kinda waiting for a booth review in NFL terms. We will see what the outcome is next year or hopefully even sooner.
Thanks again for the well wishes and offers to help out. If we get on our feet with the pay I am sure we will be back.
The bummer? Work sent me on the road until next week, the hotel I am in has the worst internet speeds...so the last few days I have on our accounts are ticking away
When it rains it pours for my CoH woes. I was in Iraq so at least I am ******** about this instead of what I used to ***** about over there. Like "Damn...that rocket almost hit me in the port-a-potty." Yes. I almost got taken out in a plastic pooper while sitting down. So...could be worse.

Baba -
Sorry to hear about this for you and your family. The same goes to all those out there who are experiencing rough times. I wish there were a magic wand to wave or super strength to kick our elected officials in the jewels to get them to do the right things for our great nation and her people.
My best wishes to you on a brighter future.

I was and I can testify it has the opposite effect. Seven days later I turned to a toxic apple jelly MRE treatment to get anything to come out of me when I sat down. It was more scared then a cold Groundhog on February 2.
Now that I reflect on this moment of combat history...it was fate that led me to the pantsless server after I returned from this tour...

Okay Baba that was epic!
Well good news and sort of not good news...after two bosses were "relieved of duty" and things are in turmoil, turns out we will not be getting the lost salary differences, at least in the long term. But they are promoting us (turns out we were all overdue and should have been promoted a while ago). It still turns out to be a net loss, but I looked at our budget and we can afford to be in game again.
So looks like Planty Girl and I are going to be able to support the NCSoft stock exchange. Her job is now up in the air as she is a teacher and the layoffs are starting to pile in. I should be putting the cash into bills or savings but I am opting for some outlet to all the insanity. I want to extend a very huge thank you to several folks offering to pay our accts and a special benefactor that hooked us up over the holidays. Triumph and CoX as a whole has some great people in it and I am glad we met you all at the hospital in RV...I mean in game.
We will be lounging around until the economy collapses entirely and the streets look someone summoned Gang War. Or in other words, just like Egypt. See you in game and thanks again everyone.

I was kinda hesitant to get involved in this thread but I figured I would at least mention that I am a recruiter specializing in the science industry. We also have an IT department, office team and creative group based in NY.
Because I staff mainly in NJ, I have seen the unemployment rate reach over 10%, so If I can help in anyway, PM me or buddy me on linkedin if you have a professional network. I often tweet my open positions as well. If your more IT, Creative or Office, then I can forward your resume onto the other team.

Glad to hear the good news Baba
Umm, Turbo? I'm in IT, recently laid off but I was lucky enough to get another job fairly quickly. I'm still looking for better opportunities that would better fulfill what I'm looking for, so I think I'll have to hit you up and discuss further! (never thought I'd actually make a professional contact through an MMORPG!)

Sorry to hear about all the turmoil with the job Babba, and glad to have you back around. You said you were in charge of training military bomb sniffing dogs? That is really awesome, my own goal is the Army Vet Corps. I recently emailed some professors here at Auburn University about being an undergrad assistant to their project, but they basically said "its top secret neener neener, if we showed around we'd have to kill you"....only in more professional words.
K Thx Bai

Tools. But a great school for Vet training. The hub for Army vet crops is at Lackland in San Antonio. Lot of work for the vets these days.
