(According to Google )for the drug charge, the maximum penalty in NY is 1 year. So depending on the other charges, he might not be in very long at all

Heroin isn't major anymore, especially not in Buffalo. Apparently, it's become a rather affordable drug and overdoses have increased by several orders of magnitude over the past few years.

[Henry88]

had the viewing today and i managed to look at her for around five seconds before walking out and sitting in the lobby but i have a lot of kin and friends who are looking out for me right now,I'll be ok in time.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Sorry for your lost Henry. I'm dreading the day my last two remaining grandparents pass away and my own parents. I can't even begin to imagine how you feel right now.

[Henry88]

i am getting better,it will take time but things will get better for me.

You know, I probably should have taken that teaching job in the Bay area...

So I had another interview the other day with a school whose Principal's son was in one of the classrooms I subbed for several times last year as the teacher of that class always tries to get me first. As such, the principal called up that teacher and got a glowing recommendation for me. I still didn't get the job. -_- They still went with someone who has been teaching for 6 years. ARGH!!!!!!!!

I think after five years it's time to just give up on trying to get a full time teaching position and just put my full investment into my channel. I'm still going to sub, but only as a secondary source of income. If I fail, then I can try again for teaching, but at this point, I'm tired of this bullshit. There are way too many political factors involved that have made the last five years a total waste of my time. I am five years behind where I wanted to be at this point in time, so it's time to rethink my career choices.

Of course, the other biggest thing is that it means I have $51,000 in student loan debt from an education I can't even use.

My biggest client just had a huge failure today at their biggest plant.

It doesn't seem like they're blaming me or my company at all, but they're shutting down for a month minimum, meaning for a month minimum, I get no income from them.
I'm salary with a bonus so I don't have to worry about eating or anything, but my bonus just went to sh**

Hey, Dr. Kain I heard you can make good $ teaching English in another country (like China).
They provide a apartment, a job, and of course $ IIRC.

For Henry, sorry for your loss.
I am seriously dreading the day when my parents die.
Hopefully it will be a very long time.
All of my grandparents have passed, and the worst day ever was when my sister died in a car crash.
She was only 19 at the time (this was exactly 20 years ago & still feel an empty spot).

Anyhow, I recently had an issue with a Kidney Stone.
Was not comfortable at all.
Only missed 2 days of work (though I was on some serious drugs).
It flared up again on Monday, and I took some home remedy stuff for it.

Way cheaper than surgery (or sound wave therapy), both of which I can't afford in the slightest (my medical insurance at work sucks, but I can't really afford better).

Kain as much as I hate to say teaching is a not a very good career to get into now. My best friend went to school for that he did get a teaching job but he ultimatly quit because the district he starting teaching in was going to go online for their students.

It really sucks and wish you the best of luck.

Getting back on topic I've been in some kind of funk the past month. I'm 33 going to be 34 in December and I really have no idea what I want to do with my life right now. My dream was to open my own business and I thought I was finally going to acheive that this year until who I thought was my best friend told me that he was going to do our business by himself. I really hate my job retail is just so taxing on you mentally especially if you work in Electronics. I hate to say it but people are just so stupid and rude now they expect you to fix there problem for you, if you can't solve it it's your fault, if we don't have a product in stock its our fault. They expect you to open up expensive merchandise so they can test it out and if they don't buy it we can't resell it. Upper management over works us and under pays. At the end of the day I'm just so taxed mentally that it takes a toll on me physically.

I think I'm going to be like you Kain and do a Youtube channel I don't expect to turn it into a huge source of income but if it takes of it takes off. I also have another idea in mind but that won't come to for a few years yet.

Teaching depends really on where you're looking and willing to look. Pretty much any place that has a population explosion is looking for teachers. More people means more kids means bigger classes means need for teachers (and might even mean new schools being built).

My wife's a teacher and her school had to fill EIGHT openings in their math department this past year. That's a lot for one school (grades 10-12 only).



Blegh. This shutdown at my customer is having a massive ripple effect...I used to get one day a week where I worked from home. Got to catch up on e-mails, do some training, get paperwork done, basically make sure I don't fall behind. Well, this is causing my managers to take a look at everyone's schedules and re-allocate people...not only am I likely losing that day, I'm also going to lose any predictability in my schedule. Some days I may need to drive as much as two hours one way to get to where they want to send me. I'm being turned into a gap filler, and losing a lot of the flexibility that I had.
With my wife being a teacher, it's kind of unacceptable for me to have such inflexibility. She can't take out if one of the kids gets sick in the middle of the day or something, that's usually my repsonsibility, because I have that flexibility. If I lose that, I don't have any support here to take care of the kids if there's a mid-day emergency or something, and add on the unpredictability and now I can't help out when it comes to stuff like scheduling doctors appointments and things like that. I really feel like my personal life is going to be negatively effected...it may be time to be pro-active and start looking for work again (I HATE looking for work).

Kain, Columbus Ohio as a city is experiencing a pretty substantial population growth and cost of living here is fairly dirt cheap. If you're willing to relocate, it's a pretty cool place. Lot's of good food, artsy cinema houses, fairly friendly people and lots of comic book shops etc. The places that probably pay the most are Upper Arlington, Dublin, and Hilliard City schools. Westerville is also a nice area you could probably look into.
Here is an example of what the pay is like for Hilliard http://www.hilliardschools.org/district ... yschedule/

You can get a job in TX without your license, and then get your license by the end of your first year as a conditional part of employment, I think.
