Take my word for it:

22 is too early to be tired......

Believe me when I say you didn't see real problems yet..

In age of 25 (married with 2 kids) I lost everything I owned.

Earthquake in Armenia in 1988. All we had was what we had on us... And my car.. That's it.

I had to start from scratch. In a country 3rd of which was in ruins.. Half of my city and most of North Armenia got destroyed..

I moved to Russia and start building new home there.. Move my family after 6 months..

In 92 I got an offer to work in Germany as a representative of a Russian company. I took the offer and move to Germany.

My family followed me 6 months later.

In 99 I won a green card in DV program that gave me the opportunity to move to US.

In 2000 I move to US and start building from scratch again....

I walked down from a plane when I got here with 3 $100 bills in my pocked.. That all I had to start new life in new country on a new continent.

My family followed me 6 months later..... We were living in LA.

In 2002 when dot com bubble exploded my wife lost her job and was about to loose mine too..

I've got an offer to move to Las Vegas with a guarantee of employment.

I took it and moved to Vegas where I'm now...

So overall I worked in 7 cities, 4 countries and 3 continents....

So please don't tell me be about being tired because you're not..

As of today you don't know what it means to be really tired.

Just get mind cleared... Take a deep breath and keep going...

Even longest journey begins with the first step.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
I respect you sir.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Just pull yourself together and fight..

You want something???

Well no one will give you that..

You want it so:

Fight for it...

Work for it....

Go for it....

That simple is it...

And you will loose only if and when you say it to yourself and when you put down your hands...

As long as you ready to fight for your future and for your dreams you have a chance...

You take you gloves off..... You don't have a chance...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
Agat....Thanks for sharing! Mopar, you have to get your mind right. How can you chase the dream if you don't know what it is? Your attitude is going to determine your altitude!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Nicely said..

I'll have to remember this..

Great words man....

Never heard that before but I definitely love it..

Attitude defines Altitude.....

This is just great.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
You just don't want it badly enough. I looked at your resume, made some suggestions and all I got was excuses on why you can't. With that attitude, you are not going to get a job you enjoy, and if you don't enjoy your work you will not move up. It's that simple!

My story is not as hard as agat's, but I was a full time student during the day in college, worked as a plumber the half days I didnt have class, and waited tables at night. The waiting tables was THE BEST part-time job I ever had. I made a min of $15 per hour in tips and being a waiter in a college town in the most popular pizza joint was great on the social side as well. To get that job, I started as the fry-boy cook for min wage, then worked my way up to 2nd cook in the night shift. One night one of the waiters did not show for work and they needed someone on the floor, so I volunteered, busted my ass, and the other guy was let go. The rest is history.

No one is going to hand it to you, or you would have already been born with that silver spoon. The rest is up to you...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkfryan:
Nothing but respect for you and your struggle, took awful situations and turned them into pure gold!

Seriously, if you haven't already you really should think about talking in a high school. That would have probably helped pull my head out of my a**.

Started at min wage at DQ in high school at first didn't really care, like most kids. Left for what I thought was my dream job and moved out, went back to DQ part time to help with bills and started to really care, doing anything extra I could do, quit my other job and took a promotion to assistant manager a short while later got promoted to GM.

Life is all about attitude and your outlook on a job. Sure not every time is something good going to come from it, but then move on, on good terms and use that as a reference.

Seriously mopar best of luck to you. It's really hard sometimes don't give up and keep your head held high.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
Well ive called the crap and texted the gm at KIA after I was let to the point he no longer texts back or replies. But I'm so close to finishing college I would hope but just totally bombed my ds3850 final, God I HATE visual basic
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Thanks for good words.

The most important thing I've learned from my own live is that

YOUR LIFE IF WHAT YOU MADE OF IT.

And that happiness is not in what surrounds you but rather comes from inside of your.

If you wanna be happy just be it and don't wait for first success, first love or first big money.

If you do appreciate what you HAVE today the life will give you what you WANT tomorrow..

My granddad used to say. "I killed can't, and beat the crap out of couldn't until he could."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
I would say the next step is a trip to the dealership. It should be pretty easy. 1. You know the gm. 2. You explain to him that you are ready to work at whatever he has available. If he has nothing available...at least you tried. And maybe...you'll leave a lasting impression that when he does have something available he'll call you first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
a friend of mine started in a machine shop even though he had no experience. He would show up every day and ask the company if they had openings. He did this for a month. They finally said yes. But its maintenance. So he started as a janitor. Everything they asked he was the first one to say no problem. All the petty jobs he did. And one day they asked him if he wanted to learn on one of the machines. He is now the department manager. He is contracted by other companies on the side all the time. So don't give up. Bug them until they give you a job. Always be courteous.

Also it does take time to get to the relaxation part. He has been here for 20 years. But makes 6 figures. So well worth the investment now to have no time for fun. Because later you can have all the time. I am trying to follow his footsteps. I don't go party. I rarely go out. But I know later in life all my hard work will be worth it. And I am at a job I love doing. So its not bad being where I am now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
General rule of life should be (IMHO):

Have you talked to any recruiters? Would you consider the military? Something to consider....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I was in air force and nothing wrong with it...:D

Why navy right away???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Because I was in the Navy. I love all the branches, buy my heart belongs to the sea. My uncle and granddad were Air Force. Dad was Army. Son is active army. One deceased uncle Marines. 2 first cousins active Marines and Army.

Love your work for this phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
LOL...

I didn't say I serve for this country..

If you read my previous posts you will see I wasn't borne or raised in US.

I used to be the arch enemy.. :D

I served in SU not US..

You feel the difference..:p

Not only is it.the respect, but you should have a Vetter chance at getting a job. Plus your young enough that if you retire form the military, you could still get a decent job and have 2 incomes. You should at least ho and see what they say. The worst they could tell you is NO.

Dang - mine turns 2 tomorrow. What, did everyone think December 2011 was the right time?

Or maybe there was something in the spring water...?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Yes, yes, YES for the love of all that is holy, YES!

I don't understand this notion of sticking by Jay. Go with what's working.

And really, let's be honest - we're not paying $16M next year for him.

Better to spend the time to decide if we keep McCown - which after last night, um... yeah!

On a side note, sorry I haven't been around much. Won't get much better until after CES.

Little girl still waking up middle of the night courtesy of jet lag. But I do think i fixed my Teamviewer issues.

I'll need to reboot later but hopefully can get started on something again soon.

Those in Vegas - got my tix. Will be in town for about 48 hours.

But I suggest heading over to the Wynn on the 7th, free booze and food... and watch me compete :)

Sorry! One more post.

I'm trying to forward a job posting in Chicago for -- Motorola. (Which effectively means Google)

It's a 1 year contract and not good for me but I told the recruiter I'd post it on job section.

I'll add a link to it here when I get it done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
I'd love to be able to do something for Motorola or something. Working for Google, I'd want to eventually make my way toward android. But I guess I am better off trying to find a car job again. Idk about school or anything though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Mope, I've said this before, but you should absolutely go and talk to a recruiter. You're young, healthy, and almost finished with school. You have so many options. They might even help pay for school, or some of your debt, or if you're done with your bachelor's almost, heck, you can go in as an officer. You can do computers, engineering, all kinds of stuff. The experience alone will change you forever, for the better. You'll learn intangible skills that employers seek, like leadership, time management, conflict resolution, decision-making, etc, etc. From what I've read over the past few days...what do you have to lose? If nothing else, go for 4 years, get all the schooling they can give you, get a decent paycheck while you're at it(more than 300 bucks a week, even for a private), and use your time in as a springboard for bigger and better things, like Google, perhaps...so, in short, get off your bum and go see your local recruiter. I recommend the Marine Corps, personally, but they are all better options than what you got going on now. Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
I'm thinking either Marines or airforce. Should I finish school first then so I can go in as an officer?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
I would absolutely finish school first, especially if you're close. If you still have a couple years until you get your bachelor's, then perhaps you can do ROTC, where you get a stipend and full tuition at an ROTC university(there are plenty). If you go enlisted, depending on the job you get, it will be very difficult to go to college for the major 3000 and 4000 level college classes you need for your degree while working. So I guess in short, it depends. How much school do you have left?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
I got roughly a year and a half and all my classes for past 2 semesters are 3 or 4000 classes. With exception of maybe a couple
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
I'm not military, but thought the same thing about your time and went and talked to them. They said 20+ years ago that if I had more than 2 years college I would qualify for NCO status as long as I scored high enough on the tests.

I agree, what do you have to lose?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Hmmmm...I wouldn't wait. You may fall on harder times, have to drop out, fail out, get your girl pregnant, whatever. I'd go to all 4 branches and see which one will pay for you to finish school. See what they all have to say.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Well guys word of advice. Don't do a credit check trying to see how much tmobile will charge you. My wife did it 2 times. First time a note 3 and g2 would cost us 163 out the door. Today we did it again. 400 deposit for the first line then 375 for the second. We were so close lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
Well i dont have a degree yet because I'm attending a 4 yr school, so not sure how it'll work. Anybody know anything about the National Guard? Looking at pros and cons of every branch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
There's always the Coast Guard as well. Navy-like experience with many of the same benefits. I would have loved to have gone, but I made some different choices when I was younger... :silly:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moparfreak426:
And then there's convincing dad not to talk me out of the military again, and then where to join, at home, or where I go to college, and then if parents move back to West Virginia, or to Louisiana or wherever they do if and when they do, how to transfer districts or whatever. I have a lot to do tommorrow besides plotting how to "get rid" of the guy who replaced me at KIA, and then begging for my job back for the millionth time, oh and my last final

What really helped me out was to use a netgear powerline adapter with a switch for my main media devices such as ps3, Google tv, etc. That way I could position my router for better coverage throughout the house and yard. Just another option instead of a different router.

No. The rules about links are you can't link to anything that requires registration to download, items for sale, etc. Links to say, facebook, your personal blog, google docs(depending on the content, no political, legal, religious, etc content) should all be fine. For further clarification you can see the forum rules announcement at the top of any forum. Or, you can ask any of the mods for your area. Best policy is, if you think its questionable, ask;)

Do the powerline adapters handle HD video? I have one problem area in my home. Over at Amazon and Newegg they have the ZyXEL Powerline AV 500 Mbps 4 Port Gigabit Switch Wall-plug Adapter with PLA4205 Powerline AV 500Mbps (PLA4225KIT) for around $75. I could place behind my home theatre and using Cat 6, hook the TV, Server, Tivo and PS3. This would take a burden off the wireless and possibly solve my issues. WHat do you guys think?

Hey guys my computer monitor seems to be having issues. It's a DCL lCD 21.4 monitor. It looks like it's checking out soon since I can see a bunch of tiny vertical white lines flashing really fast. My question is this though, it has trouble turning on sometimes. When I turn it on the screen flashes on , then I hear a clicking sound and it shuts off immediately. It does this over and over until it finally turns on. Would I be able to fix this or do I have to suck it up till I replace it?

Got home after midnight and had to be up by 5:30...

But just in case here is my Netgear router model:

WDNR3700v4

Dual band with 300 Mb/s each and one Gigabit ethernet port.

USB port for an exernal drive.

What I like about Netgear is lifetime warranty.. I don't know if they offer it today but this is my 3rd device and last 2 came on warranty..

Got 2 devices fried by power surge.

And since they didn't have exact same they give me newer version of it...

Worked kinda well for me..
