Quality Boat Cover

Long story short, I work at a Kirby dealer and have for the past 3 months. Unlike everyone else that works for Kirby, I am the owner's office assistant (thankfully). I am here because of graduating college in a bad economy (December 2008). I held two internships after that, but after those internships ended, I got stuck working for Kirby. I WANT TO QUIT SO BADLY! Fortunately, I live with my boyfriend (who has a stable programming career in the student loan industry, lucky him), we pay rent, among other bills. We need the money, or so he says. He really doesn't understand how much crap this job is. I put up with my boss's greedy selling tactics, and I feel bad for these people who get scammed into buying a vacuum. And since I work this job, I barely have time to find a better job, let alone a job in my field. If I didn't work this job I feel I'd have more time to put out quality resumes, cover letters, etc. I'll work any other part-time job but not this one!

I wish I had the courage to just up and quit, but there are seriously no other jobs in my town. My student loans are stuck in forbearance, I've got lots o' credit card debt, I drive an about-to-break 1994 Buick Century with liability-only car insurance, I make $8.00/hour with no benefits whatsoever. I'm stuck, and feel there is no way out. LITERALLY every paycheck is spoken for. And my parents can't help me out. My dad got laid off and is going back to school, and my mom works only part-time. My brother is a no-good scum bag that is in the same boat as me, sans college degree and motivation to change his life.

I just need to vent and have someone tell me just quit no matter what anyone says. This is the worst job I have ever held in my life, and I have worked numerous part-time jobs through high school and college. It's so not legit, this Kirby. Bad, bad place. I understand this economy is the worst, and I know my boyfriend shouldn't be helping me out 100%, but I literally cry myself to sleep. The fact I work for Kirby just eats me away. I feel useless. I should not stoop this low for money, my god.

Sometimes work places are rough. In this economy though, I really think you should hold on to what you have, until you can find another job. I searched for jobs everywhere and luckily I now hold three part time jobs: one as a care provider, one as a fast food crew member, and one as a receptionist/office assistant. This isn't ideal for me, and sometimes I feel stretched way too thin, but this is what I have to do.
I suggest staying in that job and look around for another one. DON'T leave this job until you have another secured if you really need the money that bad.

boatcovers.iboats.com - iboats.com Boat Covers are made of quality fabrics, designed for durability to last.

Years ago, you voted for whoever was the best quality candidate, not the person who had the most money or the most media coverage. What sickens me today is that the majority of people vote for whoever the media covers the most opposed to who has the best standings on certain issues. For example, the minute Hillary said she was going to run for President, she automatically had many supporters who would support her based only on her famous last name and they were too lazy to look at the issues rather than jump into the boat and support her. I don't care what they say, but I am voting for Ron Paul in 2008. The candidates running for President in 2008 are some of the biggest losers we have had running in many years and most of them are corporate loving puppets. Ron Paul is a true American who wants to shut down the Federal Reserve and shut down the IRS because he wants to run all of those greedy and crooked bastards out of Washington and I am sick of paying a bunch of criminals.

Well look at Paris Hilton....What can she actually DO? she is not an actress or a singer or anything but Hollywood LOVES her!! I feel it is the same thing with polotics! My husband and I have discussed it and if Hilary becomes....(gulp) PRESIDENT!! We are moving to Canada! What is up here lately with electing a family member of a past president?! They are all crooked and all they want is to put more money in their pocket and you know it. and if the guy you want to win really wants to get rid of all that then they will see that he never even gets an opportunity to finish the race. It really doesnt matter who the "People" vote for because the electorial college is the one that makes all the decisions about who is going to be president. I dont vote for that very reason...what is the point in the long run it really doesnt matter they are going to do what they want anyway. I feel we live in more of a dictatorship than a democracy. We just pick the person that tells us what to do. "we"(and I use that term loosly) really dont pick him sheesh the more I think about it the more angry I get. I cant have a pool in my yard without paying the town I live in a fee for a permit...because they said so....I cant buy my husband an old classic to work on and keep it in the yard without paying a fine...because they said so. this whole country is going to sh.it...I'm going to take a nap. This makes my head hurt to think of all the money that you and I and everybody else pays....for what?....make sure that all the presidential canidates that plan on stealing more of our money and stabbing us in the back has a five star meal that is worth more than my car? UHHH its depressing!



Besides I should know I'm Jackie O! Lol not really

I have the oppertunity to buy it for 12. Help me make my decision. Thank you

$12,000? thats a bit high for a 20 year old boat. Nada Guides ( http://www.nadaguides.com/default.aspx?L I=1-24-38-5697-0-0-0&l=1&w=24&am p;p=38&f=5698&m=11128&d=1600 115938&y=1990&ml=M&gc=MR& ;gtc=MR )suggests a resale of between $6-7000, but i am not sure if i looked at the right model, there are 2 22 footers, and pricing the accessories is a bit tricky. Nada is also notoriously inaccurate in their pricing. Check these sites for comparable boats:

Stay away from places like Ebay and Kijiji, and as always, drive it before you buy it. If you are willing to spend that kind of money, spend $250 and have an inspection (not a survey) performed by a good shop, preferrably a dealer.

Two hundred and fifty five asylum seekers from Sri Lanka have been forced to live in a small wooden boat in Indonesia since October 11th. The Tamil-speaking refugees were fleeing for their lives from Sri Lanka where a quarter of a million of their people are currently suffering in so-called “refugee camps”, in reality concentration camps.

The Tamil Solidarity campaign in association with others is calling for people around the world to send letters and emails of protest to Indonesian embassies’ around the world to support the refugees and their demands for their right to asylum in Australia.

Fleeing for their lives
The refugees originally went to Malaysia hoping to find asylum there, however they were informed that any Tamils living in Malaysia would be considered members of the terrorist LTTE organization by the Sri Lankan government. As well as this, the refugees were told that since the Malaysian government had not signed the 1951 Refugee Convention, they would not be given their rights as refugees. Hence, they decided to leave Malaysia on October 1, 2009 and try to sail to Australia in a wooden boat in the hope for a better life.

After over a week of sailing they were intercepted by the Indonesian Navy, and taken to the port of Indah Kiat in Indonesia. This is inline with the so-called “Indonesian solution” policy of the Australian government, where the Australian government funds the detention of asylum seekers in Indonesia, which, unlike Australia, has not signed the 1951 Refugee Convention and does not have a system for dealing with asylum seekers or refugees.

This meant the refugees were rightly fearful that the Indonesian government would try to deport them back to Sri Lanka where there lives would be at risk, rather than allowing them to get to Australia and apply for refugee status. Instead of going quietly, they refused to leave the ship and instead demanded to meet with the UNHCR to discuss their fate and the protection of their rights as refugees. They also are demanding that they be allowed continue their journey.

Shocking conditions of the refugees

However the Indonesian government has refused point blank to allow the UNHCR to visit the refugees, and has also banned any media from meeting them and reporting their story. In a letter from the refugees themselves they explain their situation since arriving in Indonesia:

“For the last month we have been waiting on the boat at sea with all sorts of difficulties and still we have not received any favorable outcome either from Australia or any country that respects human rights. The UNHCR, which is supposed to be an international organisation that looks after the plight of the refugees, has not only refused to recognise us as refugees, but has refused to treat us as human beings. This causes us immense suffering. We are also worried and afraid of the effect that the changes in the climate will have while we are still at sea.”

Now those that change in weather is really starting to put them in danger, with heavy rain falling on the boat which only has tarpaulin roof, torn in several spot which doesn't cover all the room. Despite the fact that more 30 of those on the boat are suffering from diarrhea and other illnesses, food and medical supplies have been denied to them. When food has been supplied it has been of terrible quality, sometimes with worms, small stones or even in one case a needle in it.

The refuges have also found no help from the so-called “international community”. For instance, Britain’s special envoy to Sri Lanka, Labour Party MP Des Browne supported the Australian and Sri Lankan governments and announced that: “We take the view that it is safe to return people, including Tamils, to Sri Lanka”.

International Solidarity
However they have got support from the Tamil Solidarity campaign and the Committee for a Workers’ International (the international organization the Socialist Party is in). The Tamil Solidarity campaign has linked in with the refugees and made this a key campaign of theirs, and the website of that campaign, http://www.tamilsolidarity.org is a great source of information on the situation. Members of our sister parties in Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Australia have been in contact and given support to the Tamils, with the Socialist Party of Australia highlighting the issue in Australian media.

Fleeing for their lives? India is a lot closer than Malaysia.
