lol You hit the nail on the head Ridge. I can see why Jellyman is so popular. I can see how HR experience from 1962 is a big plus in today's world! I guess he does not realize that today, HR has even more control over positions than years ago.

I didn't know who or what a eeyore was so I googled it. Yep that's me!!

However if I win the jackpot I promise my attitude will change!

So like your name says HELPMEWIN

rdgrnr — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 01:02:01 GMT

I don't know anything about your employment either, Jelly Man.

But you certainly sound like a frustrated telemarketer or perhaps the office receptionist/know-it-all?

I'm thinking H R Block perhaps?

Excuse me if my office terminology is off but I worked in the building trades with men.

I can see how you might think that if you actually had HR experience and it came from 1962, but you've obviously got no clue about how the world works today. Only 10% of people as old as this guy have had fewer than 5 jobs and only incompetent HR people will have an issue simply because prospective employees have quit previous jobs. Assuming this guy's competent (and that he'd ever be interested in working for somebody else again) it's a sfe bet that he wouldn't want to work for employers that a... [ More ]

LottoNick56 — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 01:08:27 GMT

13, 28, 31, 55, 58, and the Powerball was 15

Those are respectable QP numbers. You got the nice 3 Odd numbers, 2 Even numbers. Also, 2 Low numbers, 3 High numbers. 4 separate decade groups. 2 numbers sharing the same one's place (28 58). No multiples. No previous drawing repeats. Perfect set of numbers I'd like to play. But how come anytime I play QP, my numbers are like 39-49-55-57-59?!?! NOT FAIR!!!! lol

lol You must not be employed. Quitting a job is seen as just as bad or worse as not working for years. Too difficult to explain a professional career to one who is clueless. I know a couple of us tried to explain it to you.

Happy spending.

I love quick picks.

KY Floyd — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:07:21 GMT

If he was concerned about future employment he'd still be working. If he wants an engineering job down the road his years of not working will matter far more than the fact that he once quit his job.

Of course, you apparently know far more about his emplyment situation than I do, so perhaps you'd share the relevant details about the important project that will go unfinished because he abandoned it.

w/ your agreement.

I've been watching the HP marathon on The Family Channel over the weekend; I have the DVDs, but usually try to watch the movies when they come on. I saw where it was Robbie Coltrane's b-day yesterday and while I was watching the movies, got to thinking that I can't think of anyone who couuld have been cast in the role of Hagrid that would have been/done any better...ditto for *almost* all the rest of the characters.

I have the paperbacks, plus a set (still in the b... [ More ]

It's too easy to win Powerball in Missouri.

Except for me.

For the record, I'm the only Missouri resident who's not a Powerball winner.

Piaceri — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 13:37:44 GMT

Anyone with an engineering degree should be miles ahead of most people financially anyway. I do suspect this couple does not make the best decisions in that area. I could be totally wrong, but having worked with engineers in several of my positions over the years, I know they make good money. Down to brass tacks, this could mean that at only 49 yrs old, that $35m +/- net could be gone in a few short, fun filled, spendy years. The article does not mention children or other family, so maybe there

Comment #22

Artist77 — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 13:02:10 GMT

lol Well if you worked for degrees and a professional title and built up a good reputation in your industry, you would understand that money is not everything. Taking a few weeks to get things in order would not have interfered with his wealth. This relates to respect for himself and not his employer. But perhaps he was very marginal in his profession.

Yeah, you'd think with a net of only $25 to 30 million he'd want something to fall back on in case the money runs out.

I would walk off my job in the middle of a shift if I found out I won the lottery and NEVER come back.

I lied.

I would wait till the ticket was confirmed by the lottery office before I QUIT. LO L After it is confirmed I would purposely go to work just to walk off my job in the middle of a shift and tell them to kiss it.

Artist77 — Sat, 29 Mar 2014 14:44:16 GMT

I agree. Seems like it would have taken him a couple of months to hand off his work and not compromise his professional title and/or license (and I am not referring to helping his employer out but protecting his own good name). I am glad the wife is finishing out her semester at least. Learning is lifelong

College student at 49 years......impressive. And the husband quiting his civil engineener job. I'm surprissed he left that job right away considering all the hard work and money it would take to get that position.

Missouri couple claim $96.5M Powerball jackpot

Lottery Post — Sat, 29 Mar 2014 03:40:37 GMT

A St. Charles, Missouri, man and his wife are living the dream that they never in a gazillion years expected to have, after they discovered their Powerball ticket from March 22 was worth $96.5 million.

John Brands said he checked his Missouri Lottery tickets with the numbers on the Lottery's website the morning after the drawing, before heading out to play golf. When all six numbers matched, he went to wake his wife, Susan.

I thought the house was on fire, she said. I thought he was messi... [ More ]
