Wheel of Time was good though.

Hell no. That show is a fucking joke. That ending scene where they are standing in the middle of the ice and all the bad guys have them dead to rights from an elevated position is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. They’d be dead in less than a second.
A 9 year old with an Airsoft could’ve one-shot them.

I hadn’t considered how weather can impact your hours on a week to week basis. That would suck.
Is it the type of job you can make a long-term career out of? Or is it more of a stop along the way to another career?

So I’ve learned. Not a bad gig if you think about it. Work hard, play hard right?

I guess if it wasn’t for inflation, it’s not a bad gig then, right? You work hard for six or eight months of the year or whatever, and then you get a nice prolonged break over the winter. If you do gig work for like Uber or Instacart, or something, does that mean you can’t collect unemployment too?
Sorry to hear that times have been tougher this year.

Oh. I didn’t even think of that type of seasonal work. Is it normal for people in your position to collect unemployment? I would think that if you got a second job, it would pay a lot more than unemployment though, right?
It may sound like I’m judging, but I’m really not. Just curious.

What? If you’re a seasonal worker, why are you collecting unemployment anyway? I’m assuming by “seasonal” you mean a UPS driver, or someone stocking shelves for Christmas shopping.

Isn’t that exactly what you’re supposed to do, is find a new job?

VRBO or AirBnb in the northwestern part of the state will have what you’re looking for.
