I lost my job in november due to economic reasons. Now i'm a jobhunter.

You all got fairly decent jobs. Makes me wonder if i'm living in the wrong place. I hate coastal area's.

web marketing for a resort. They let me use Live at work to do radio ads, message on hold recordings, and music for videos (so we don't have to pay royalties) so it's not that bad. could be better if i had a more regular pharmacist.....

I asked Ableton for asylum, but they dont want me

You're right, Belgium is awful. But how many places are there left that can be called paradise?

studied economics. have done many things (containership planning, administration, electrician, gardner,...), but now i'm quite happy being a theatre technician. mainly as junior sound eng, but also lights and video, fly loft,... once in a while i'm asked to take care of the soundtrack for amateur plays/dance performances. sometimes very long days/weeks, but that means also a lot of long periods off, and a long summer

not a real great salary, but more than decent.

hoffman, what's wrong with belgium? people die of old age, car accidents and incurable diseases (i have been suffering from chronical bronchitis for a few years, so i made an appointment with a lung specialist in a hospital. FIVE days later i was in for four hours of all kinds of alergy/blood/... tests, X-ray, all very expensive equipment. two specialist doctors, three assistant nurses. i'm cured now... for 54 EUROS!!! this is a frickin' great country). we have the biggest concentration of music festivals/concerts/raves/... in the world. economically we're far better off than our neighbouring countries, way more than 50% vote for center or left wing parties, ... i was unemployed for a few months and got nearly 1000 euros/month for smoking pot and getting to know zappa a bit more (although that may sound ambiguous...

)
ok, it's ugly as hell, and belgian football sucks big time, just like the weather, but hey...

a satisfied theatre technician i am.

I should probably move to a big city. I live on the coast and it sucks.
The only cool thing about living here is being ten minutes away from the netherlands border

There are also very little job opportunities where i live so getting out of here is hard as hell. Lots of jobs in the city's but you need money to live there.
If it weren't for that f$$$ing € i'd be living in a mansion now.
Good thing you reminded me today about that unemployment thing.
I have to go get my pot money.

Heheh, another beach boy ... Andy/Borg is right Belgium is a nice place if you put everything in perspective.

Myself I lived For 22 years at the coast (Nieuwpoort-bad) , than moved inland (Antwerp->Brugge->Gent)... at the time I thought as well that there was nothing for young people in the coastal area , but now 16 years older , everything is in a different perspective I'm looking forwards to (hopefully) return there one day ...

If you come from the sea , one day you'll return .. it's a law of physics ...
