You Might Be a "Day Worker" IF...

[Running Arrow Bill]

I've had my supply of day workers over the years. I want to share some of my observations to those who haven't used any:

You Might Be a (habitual) Day Worker If:

• You don't have a regular job (or) don't want one.
  You only work when the day's, week's, or month's financial crisis hits.
  You may or may not show up to work.
  You may or may not show up when it is expected.
  You always need an "advance" for today's gas, tobacco, or soda (even you were just paid yesterday).
  You never have a cigarette...always have to bum one.
  You don't live anywhere...you just "stays" somewhere.
  You probably don't have any "good" job skills to market to others and don't understand the value of job training.
  You bum money from friends and relatives...even if you just got paid yesterday.
  You never think or plan for anything past today.
  Instant gratification is your style...deferred gratification is a 4 letter word or a foreign language.
  You pay double for a pack of cigarettes or soda...not realizing that buying a carton or 6 pack is less.
  You smoke premium cigarettes or drink major brands of sodas...it's a status thing.
  You usually borrow a friends or relatives vehicle or bum a ride
  You don't have a bank account...never enough money to deposit...then you pay a fee at a check cashing service.
  Even if you just got paid yesterday, you are out of money today...can't plan ahead.
  You always want more money than you are worth to anyone.
  You may want to borrow some money from today's boss (if it happens, probably won't be back tomorrow.

Don't judge me.

Don't take it personally...lol.

I'm referring to those "work challenged" people that don't have, don't want, or no training for a real job. You know who they are...lol. And...they usually keep on breeding...

And, not referring to the unavoidably unemployed due to a plethora of problems, issues.

You're referring to the infamous 47% that still haven't got a job but voted multiple times right. ;-)

 

[chippie]

Wow. That was harsh.
I know some young men who day work (cowboy) and I am proud to know them. Hard workers, honest, and people that you can count on if you need help.

That's what lost Romney the election. He kept talking about all the jobs he was going to create if elected and 51% said "screw you".

Not harsh at all chippie. Those guys do it by choice and most make a pretty good living at it. Actually they may do two or three jobs in one day. A totally different "day worker". But...bet you couldn't get a single one of them to take an 8 to 5 job 5 days a week.

:nod: :nod: you're right on top of it TB, I have a guy that works for me .... Oh and it's not under the table .... :roll: , he pulls in unemployment, has two other side jobs and just got a grant for school. Wait I'm joking about under the table uncle Sam, :help: .

Just to add, he works his azz off, he's here when he is supposed to be and works a few hours a day and loves the work.

Right! I just read a story in the Livestock Weekly about a fellow named Bob Buchholz and it seems he and his brother got where they are today doing lots of " day labor.". Reading it changed my attitude toward being a" day labor" from time to time.

Day labor vs Day Worker

That statement got Romney in a lot of trouble as he lumped senior citizen's that payed to play and disabled vet's in with the leaches. Big difference.

He made the 47% statement which is true that number include's social security and vet's.
The Dem's played that up big time.
