I love the recession

[Sunny]

Should we feel guilt for it ???

No but you shouldn't be rubbing peoples faces in it either. Have a look at other threads like money makeover and the redundancy one and see what people are going through. Now try and imagine what they think when they see your "I love the recession" post.

So you are doing well. Congratulations. We are delighted for you.

Don't be so cocky, there's always something around the corner to bite you in the ass if you get complacent.

Ain't Ireland great, always someone ready to knock the guy who gets up off his backside and do a bit of extra work. If begrudgery cost €1 we'd have no deficits in this country.

Your business could suffer and I would not be confident if my employer was running €25bn deficits!!!

its not cocky, i've listened to public sector bashing for a long time here and finally there is something positive about my job after years of it.

My business is more quiet but as i said i had intended cutting back after 15 years of working almost every weekend so i'm not bothered.

 

[sandrat]

so no chance of a job then?

Fair play to you Ron; you have worked hard for years and you are in a comfortable position. Well done, long may it last.

Hey Ron, does your public service job ever 'overlap' with your business ? C'mon, be honest !

No as my business is night based.......

Funny coincidence. I know of a guy who works as a bouncer in a well known Dublin night club at night and sleeps at his (public sector) desk during the day. He considers the bouncering (?) his real job and just turns up for the money and pension at the day job. It's in a highly protected sector so he's not alone in the office at doing nothing.

Are you that bouncer? AAM is such a great place for bumping into old accuaintances.

Does he, well i am like a child. I don't work on school nights

That wasn't your point. Your point was that you love the recession for personal reasons and never mind the general hardship that it causes. It has nothing to do with your individual success.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

It was to show that the loving Irish are well that and as had been said we are a nation of begurgers.......did it work ????

I don't think it's begrudgery to be honest, I think people including me are sick with worry over the fact that their jobs could go, I also work all the hours and always have done. I'm still working overtime at weekends, only now I do it for free! Well done Ron on having good jobs etc etc but there is no need to be an This post will be deleted if not edited to remove bad language about it and celebrate the fact that you can drive into work with no traffic in the mornings because there are no jobs - in the face of what people are going through statements like that are just damn insensitive! celebrate your good fortune Ron just don't mock other peoples misfortune!

does anyone understand sarcasm?

 

[Ron Burgundy]

are you meant to feel dirty if you still have a job and a positive bank account ???

No because nobody begrudges your success. They don't like you coming on here though and seemingly taking pleasure from the tough economic times that we are in. I can guarantee that I earn alot more than you with your two jobs and did very well during the good years. Maybe I should start a thread announcing that to everyone.

yeah do it. But at no point was it about money, its about the fact that there are still positive stories out there and not everyone is down and out !!
