It's only 2:33, I am *so* ready to go home. It's gotten to the point where home kinda sucks, too. I only have maybe 5 hours a day during the week to be at home, awake & possibly cleaning, and Sweetie has ALL DAY to make messes. *sigh* And he is hanging on to this whole "IT or Bust" mentality that is just not...reasonable... in this economy. Sysadmins are making minimum wage, IF they can get jobs as sysadmins at all. He did R&D lab stuff at a paper company in PA when I met him. The actual materials would be different, but lab protocols are the same everywhere. You learn it in chem. class, ya know? He is just making me...crazy. There *is* logic to his point that he is making more in UI benefits than he would at minimum wage, but that is about to run out. If he doesn't get off his ass and get SOMETHING, even if it is 'beneath' him or 'not on [his] career path' I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do. I've dated loser deadbeat users and paid for everything before, but I thought I'd picked someone better than that...and now it's looking like I just picked another lazy-assed loser user. Go, me.

You're right - Sweetie could/should be looking at all of his options. In addition to the lab experience, his IT knowledge/skills/experience have to be somewhat translatable to something else; if only in the "must have two years working in a professional environment" or whatever context
