Project "Opie"

For now project Opie is setting in my closet. Being unemployed naturally supplies limitations, and for now Opie will have to wait.
Needs for "opie":
Keyboard
CPU Fan
Lid plastics
hard drive (40Gb would be acceptable for XP)
mouse pad (Basically the entire palm rest assembly)

My unemployment ended in early November, I am a "99er" I have sent out nearly 200 resume's since I graduated in August, with only 6 or 7 call backs. Things are tough here in Michigan, but I do see things getting better slowly.

The new UIA extension that congress passed was not for those of us who had exhausted our benefits, it only extended benefits for those who are currently receiving benefits (Limited to 99 weeks yet). Congress would need to add a new tier for me to receive any new benefits, and sad to say, I do not see that happening.

Michigan says that unemployment has gone down, what they are NOT telling you is that those of us who have exhausted our benefits are NOT included in the unemployment numbers. The real number is much higher, (seasonal jobs reduce this number as well) but they wont admit to there being a problem. We have just "fallen" out of the system and vanished, therefor we do not exist. Tell that to the bill collectors! LOL!

I have two desktop computers coming (Both FREE!) soon that I will go through and get ready to find a new home for. One is and older Widows 98 machine (Still works!) The other...all I know is that it is a Windows XP tower, no telling what it is that I might receive?

I'll try to keep this updated, I'm searching for jobs daily on-line. Some days I find ten jobs to apply for, the next none.

Life is hard, God is good!

Later all!!

Me!
