Frustrated and Getting Impatient!

Hmmmm, maybe give Justin Gingrich at Ranger Knives a call. He's 45min to an hour south of you, and he should know some places where you can put your skills to use. And Glock is supposed to have a place in Smyrna, nearby?? Sorry I can't be of real help...

Another suggestion is to join a couple of service organization. I joined the Jaycees when I moved to help me meet new people. You also make contacts, get involved with community projects, and build more for the resume. It's a good way to get plugged into the community.

Well guys I've been in Georgia for a little over a month now and I've been looking for a job ever since I got down here. I've sent my resume to over 25 companies and every single company has told me I am either over qualified or under qualified for their positions. This is getting ridiculous! And embarrassing at that. I have never had this much trouble finding a job.......EVER!

Then last Friday I had to drive over to Carrollton to get my new drivers license................I GOT SO FREAKING LOST! I had the worst road rage I've ever had. All the roads are so confusing down here and I'm usually pretty good with directions.

And on top of all that, the only family member that has called me since I've been gone is my dad! I am so frustrated it's ridiculous. I want to come home more than anything right now. I think I'm getting home sick. Maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to come home, I don't know. This move has been a huge change for me and I feel like I'm not ever going to get used to it.

I'm sorry for ranting but I don't want to burden Tony with this because he has a lot on his plate right now too. So anyway......thanks for letting me whine to you!

kassi, maybe you should consider settling down and starting a family? it's not to late you know :thumbup:
 
Skunk........Yeah what was I thinking?! I've been watching someone Else's kids for the past 7 years....it's about time I have my own! ;)

JWBirch.......Yeah I don't think Jerry would mind at all if I worked for another knife company! I've already betrayed the north(100 years ago or so I would've been shot).....working for another knife company would be about the same thing! LOL!!

Tim the Slugman........I saw Dallas on the weather channel this morning! I know where that is. If it's anything like Carrollton I refuse to go there! LOL!!
(By the way, I did find the license bureau. It's out in the middle of no where!)
My husband asked me how to get there so he could get his license...I just laughed at him!

thatmguy..........ha ha!! ;)

BB - My wife went to H.S. in Atlanta ('89.)

My brother-in-law just sold their house that was near Roswell, just east of 400 on Riverside Drive. They lived there for a decade or so and were DYING to get out and away from the traffic - they moved to Denver.

Atlanta metro isn't all bad though. You'll make it past the awful humidity and learn to appreciate the really mild winters. Like any metro area, lots of it are ugly but you'll eventually find the good spots and acclimate to the traffic flow. The discomfort of moving is like the cycle of grief: It sucks for a while but you do get past it.

Take some weekend trips up to the TN/GA/NC border. I used to paddle ww kayaks around there a lot and there are some beautiful mountains and rivers. Alternately, you are close enough to make it to Stephen Foster and the swamps. Big Fun!!

Frankly, I envy you being close to so many beautiful natural features. St. Louis is fine but you have to travel 6+ hours to get anywhere I consider attractive. Just butt-ugly midwest for the most part. Of course, this attitude comes from my growing up in Daytona and moving here after living 20 minutes from the entrance to the Smokies Nat'l Park.

Good luck and hang tough, BB.
