The 'Thankfull I Got A Jobby-Job' Thread

[SlikWiLL13]

i'm sort of in between working and not.. i dont know what you would call it.. but heres the outline of it..

been a chef since i was 18... at least thats when i consider that i got the training to call myself one..

i'm starting a new restaurant... in my area.. i got the investor lined up for the money... partners are chosen.. the building is picked but needs a LOT of work.. its an old building.. protected by the city.. cant be torn down type building.. putting about a million into fixing it... working on a menu... recipies... kitchen layout.. dining room layout.. bar lay out... hiring and training of staff.. both front in back of house.. ect ect ect...

so i dont know... in a way, yes, i'm employed... but right now i dont actually work... make sense??

sounds awesome. best of luck. let me know when reservations are.

i feel ya with the felony thing, it was one of the deciding factors when i started my own business. nobody will hire a felon when there is a non-felon equally qualified. now i do my best to hire guys in the same position i was in.

tim- i gotta ask...8 convictions and you still rock you avatar as proudly as you do? i refuse to be naked just cause im a felon, but you wont see any proof that in not untill its too late.

I'm not worried about my situation. My felony days are long since past.

I am very grateful for any work I can get. I work general construction. I can do it all, from sheetrocking, flooring, electrical, plumbing, to just about anything. I can't stand painting though. lol. Good thing we have a RIU painter available. Everyone take it easy and keep your head high this fine Labor Day, or lack there of (no joke intended).

 

[SlikWiLL13]

yeah, but isnt it still illegal to own firearms if your a felon?

ive heard you can get that lifted, but never found out if its true.

it's actually the second restaurant i've opened.. except this is a much larger sized restaurant... 3 floors... 2 of which are indoor... and 1 on the roof of the building with a really nice view/scenery... if i can get it affordable i want to make it a 4 seasons room with a closeable roof for the cooler months... but i think it would be really cool to sit out there and eat...

but sure.. i invite all of my fellow RIU'ers to come when i open... it'll be a while.. but ill make sure to post something so if you do happen to ever make it this way (midwest.. as much as i'll divulge for now) and stop in for dinner, it will be on the house... a secret code or something.. i like in a town were people talk and word gets around.. so i have to maintain appearances.. i'd be shunned if the community knew i was a stoner..

we would make a great team then. although im capable of doing anything in home construction that wont get me electrocuted(me and sparky have a longstanding agreement-i dont fuck with him and he doesnt fuck with me!), i can paint circles around mawfuckers. im a brushman at heart, i can paint a straight line the lenght of a football field.

Yes it is illegal to certain firearms by a felon. I'm not a dangerouse person and choose to use mine I'm a sporting kinda way. Like the shooting range. And there is no way mr government is gonna tell me because of past mistakes that I can't protect my family. I live in the city where kick door dummies commit murder almost daily so I'm willing to take my chances. As long as I am able to watch my kids grow up safely I'm happy.

lol. Electricity does keep things interesting. I usually get popped once or twice a week. My main jam is flooring, hardwood, tile, carpet. Fuckin hell on your knees and back though.

im not judging, just curious as to how you felt and wanted to see if you knew more than i did about our opportunity to regain our rights.

A-fuckin_men to that. It just kills me that if I were to get busted growing and they found my guns, I would be labeled a bad person, guarding my "drugs" with loaded firearms. Thats just bullshit. I'm not hurting anyone....that is, unless they come through the window at night.

i took 220 once while working at a beverage equipment service company. made my juevos tingle for hours. quit that job and swore off electric work. call me what you will.

i did roofing for about 4 yrs so i know all about knees and backs.

 

[timsatx1]

You as a felon can legally own black powder rifles. And can talk to a judge if you wanted to own more. It all depends on your origanal charges of course. If you pay that money they can give you permits to own them. It all depends on your past though.

Whew! Never got hit by a 220v though I've seen it happen to people. Sounds like you've bout done it all yourself. I think construction type work goes with growing pot really well. Couldn't say how many times it's saved my ass.
