When we decided we wanted to buy Vespas, my boyfriend sold his car & we bought our scooters from the proceeds.

They're just plain fun!

And being in a scooter club is just icing on the cake. We organize rides to swimming holes, to breweries, restaurants, and festivals. It's just a ton of fun!

Sounds like you're in exactly the same boat that I was about 3 months ago. We got told out hour cuts would be for about a month and now the company's announced that it's going into administration if they don't find a buyer within this month. I started looking for a new job about 2 weeks after they cut my hours and worked two for a while. I'm now soley a waitress at a pub 10 minutes up the road, until I go to Uni, and I get loads of hours and I'm rolling in the cash. Get out now while you can do safely and I wish you the best of luck!

Oh well, at least I'll still have a job (that I love, btw) as they are supposedly guaranteeing no layoffs.

Same for us also. Nobody was let go and those of us that had benefits, insurance, etc. still do. The boss was adamant about no one losing benefits.

I'm open to getting another part-time job if I can't get a full-time job.

That's everybody for your appeciation. I've been at this job since Sept 2003 making alot of friends along the way.

Holy shnit. I have never seen more people looking at one thread in my life. Haven't popped the hood on the one in question, and I have no plans to because reality television doesn't interest me in the slightest. To me it's nothing more than an advertisement campaign for loneliness, fed by the congenitally depressed. The kind of people you come across in the supermarket licking an unpeeled Banana whilst maintaining "I went out with Andy Warhol once, you know. Didn't care for his wig. But he made excellent Soup. Campbells, I believe he called it. Had an interesting after-taste of paint and tears". I can't help but find it bloody ironic that so called "reality" television is as staged as the rest of the content on the boob tube, conspired of fakery and personality-less individuals assuming that they must be musical because they have hundreds of CDs and once saw Cliff Richard in concert (the musical equivalent of a fart in the bath). But that's just one person's opinion.
