weird spooky stuff

[Spud_butt]

i hate my business. it's no fun, generates a LOT of stress, and i have to fire people occasionally, which is no fun at all.

been considering selling my business, returning to my old profession, which i love, am really good at, and do not consider work.

so, here's the weird stuff, based on a bunch of stuff i have been considering strongly lately: do you think i should apply only for jobs in states with BBs named after them?

for some reason, that really appeals to me, even tho i do not consider myself a BB main any more.

Lol, man, that's most of the states. You do know that, right? xD

That's every single state except Alaska and Hawaii

[Vulgarr]

Don't come to New York.  The job market here is the suck.

And Montana... since the class was never built.

 

EDIT: In fact I'm not sure I'd count Alaska and Hawaii, since they didn't become states until after the last BBs were built.

The most I've gotten in the 8-10 years since my last real job burned down, was about a year in an auto parts warehouse, albeit fulltime with overtime, and since than, the last couple years at the Linc, but that's seasonal part time. Best Buy, Burger King, Walmart, Target, none of them. Though Target's requirements seem to be asking what the status quo had to do with the Spanish Inquisition or some such similar inane nonsense that caused my mom to fear I'd have an aneurysm that I lost out on the job to these two.

 

or in shorter terms, Pennsylvania, least in the Philly area, does not have jobs.

If you can work from any where than your plan seems logical.

I would avoid Illinois as they have financial issues.

thank you for your input. I am not applying in montana, Alaska or Hawaii. or new York, or Pennsylvania. pretty sure this is going to work !! or Illinois, it sounds pretty bad.

Hey on the bright side that leaves you 44 states to work with and some of them aren't half bad. Heck some of them are even pretty to look at lol.  

Now we just need to define what topographies you like, what type of destructive weather you're ok with and we might be able to narrow it down a bit more.

thank you for responding. one of my kids live in New Mexico, I have some property there, and I LOVE the climate. and there was a BB named after new mexico, or at least I think so cuz I see it in the game. so that is probby first on the list. hot, dry works, so arizona, Nevada, for sure. the rest need to establish more climate change that isn't a real thing before I even consider applying there.

as far as destructive weather, I LOVE drought and thunderstorms, but not so much typhoons, floods and tsunamis, so Nebraska is out.

(ed. note: how did you get to be admiral of the stinksalot fleet??)

@not_acceptable If they start having typhoons or tsunamis in Nebraska I'll start believing in man made catastrophic climate change. But living in Missouri the only thing we have to worry about is sudden weather changes [saw a September day go from 82f down to 38f in 4 hours], high humidity [seen 100% humidity and 99f days] and the southern part of the state sees ice storms that like to knock the power out while the northern part sees borderline blizzards. The Mississippi River likes to flood a lot and the southern counties get flash flooded regularly it seems. We also have the New Madrid seismic zone which could cause a bigger earth quake than anything California has seen if it wakes up. Last time it let lose in 1811/1812 it caused the Mississippi to flow backwards and rang church bells in Boston. Oh almost forgot about the Tornadoes, we have a lot of them and in the past few years we've even manage to win first place in the "Who caught the most Tornadoes this year" contest. 

But what can you expect when you have three major weather fronts converging over your head.

 

As to the Admiral of the Sinksalot Fleet its more of an Honorary title holding no power. 

But when you find yourself sitting on the sea floor with a Kraken it was bound to happen. 

I was once asked in battle about the Sinksalot Fleet, "do you sink a lot or do you sink a lot of ships". 

The answer is yes.
