The official "Life's a Bitch" thread

[luv]

Well, after dealing with getting over an ex and making sure he's paying joint bills, I decide to just focus on my job for awhile. I know it well, and I'm good at it. Should mean a little less stress while I get me and my life back into focus.

We had a meeting today, and the portion of the company that I'm a part of has been sold. Luckily, it will be in Springfield. Unluckily, there are only so many spots available at the new company. While I know that I will still have a job, I don't know what I'll be doing or if I'll have to take a subtantial paycut.

So much for less stress.

UPDATE: I just got offered a new position with the original company. I'll be able to stay where I'm at!! I'm now part of the technical support group. I'll be learning how to import and export data, etc. Kinda nervous, but so thankful for the opportunity.

so you would consider co-signing a loan for a guy you've just started dating a "good choice gone bad"?

I feel for anyone who has to look for a job. I always hated jobhunting. I was going to be so proud to say that I'd been with my company for 10 years in November. While I do have a job, I will basically be starting over. It was just a little much to swallow as it happened.

of course it is, but maybe it will be a blessing in disguise...one can only hope I guess.

Heh, I wasn't aware that she did that, obviously I haven't been paying close enough attention. If we're talking about that specifically then no, that's usually not a good idea, it sounds like she made a decision with her heart instead of her head and that will burn you nearly every time. Although I'm not going to pile on her for that as I learned that lesson many times the hard way myself.

well, saul's never made a bad decision in his life.

or at least one that he told the planet about.

nobody should EVER cosign a loan for ANYONE. i would not cosign a loan for my best friend, my child, my parents, the old lady's parents, no one.

if they did not already have a long history of not being trustworthy in finance they wouldn't have to be asking for a cosigner. a bank with millions and millions in financial backing won't trust them with a few thousand bucks. why would a person with little or no financial backing assume the risk if Bank of America won't??

if you cosign a loan, you should just assume that you're going to have to pay all of that balance off.

Helps to have a fairly wealthy uncle.

i've cosigned for loans for each of my 3kids. 2 auto loans, and 1 motorcycle. no problems. of course, i knew they had jobs and were able to pay the loans, which they did.
