Maybe you could get a better job than stuffing envelopes if you took advantage of some of the programs available to enhance your education, instead of wasting time critiquing staff that has a real job...

Just curious, where is the line drawn between making our own choices and being protected for our own good?

Depending on your line of work will depend on how much further education you need. Not all additional training requires 2 or more years of school - short term training certificates are out there in jobs that are more stable and pay well( welding, cnc programming, heavy equiptment operator,etc. and yes trucking) as far as paying for training - there is a program with job service at the job center that may be able to pay for part or all of your training. I encourage anyone who is layed off to call or stop by there and get more information. Not everyone can afford to go to school and not work or work part time, but its worth checking into.

I would not post if I had to use my real name. I follow guide lines set forth by the gazette as well as the values my parents taught me before posting. That being said, I have a high profile position and would not want my opinions to be in any way looked at as the opinions of my organization. Some readers would not be able to distinguish between the two.

The Fair labor standards act did for the american worker what unions started out doing. Unions are no longer needed. I believe in getting paid for what you know and how long you have been doing it. I agree that we need to start attracting more business, the eventual loss of GM may be not to far away - can Rock County survive that? I think we can if we start preparing now..

I agree with the comment that they should be in school learning about those people that have made such big impact on America - that goes for presidents days also..

If the father had just told CPS that he wasnt ready to be a father, none of this would have happened. This child had a loving foster home. Any parent that knows they have an addiction that comes first, should give up their child. Any parent who has had problems with drugs should have to be tested before visiting rights.
On Rock County could stiffen smoking ordinance

I am a smoker. I do not smoke around non smokers. It is a habit I have quit many times and picked back up. No excuses, just no will power. Non smokers have the choice of not going to bars that allow smoking. If non smoking bars are so profitbable, there would be more of them. If you like to go to bars, and you do not want to smoke, open your own bar that does NOT allow smoking.
You have the right not to have to breath my smoke, I agree on that. But I have every right to smoke in designated smoking areas.

That was 2001...things change..people that really want help can get help now. The job center has a lot of services, some better then others, depends on what you need and what your eligible for.
