Ok, I'll bite, you've got us all thinking it so I'll be the one to ask. What do you do for a living when you're not collecting EI?

Ha NTFL, you beat me to it . I would`ve asked yesterday, but I didn`t know what pogey was.

Actually, I`ll change that, what do you do that you get laid-off for the winter?

Good for you 

Hope you don't have to be ready , willing and able to work while on 'pogey'.

At least it used to be that way ; now we are of course much more 'progressed'.

   Now why is it that China Rising wants to live in the west then ? Why is it that almost all of the billion and a half chinese in China would prefer to live in this lazy western person country of Canada ? If we are so lazy then why is our country so much better a place to live ?

EI is not the dole dude....its an insurance policy that you have to work and pay into in order to collect if you are layed off

    China Rising still lives off of his parents though he probably is around 30 years old and acts like a 12 year old

ok...so to respond to both your comments here is the general story...i closed down my business in Korea in 2007 and moved back to canada to "semi-retire"........my goal was always that when i retire i would work at a golf course. (i'm a golf addict)... so i was sitting in vancouver bored to death and decided to apply on line to every golf course in Saskatchewan......one of them responded and i went to their resort to work,,,,,,it is seasonal and we get laid off in late October until late april.....i love it......during the winter we can travel and i collect unemployment.....i also do consulting in the winter for cash.......one or two ours a day for really good money......so that's basically it

Thanks Mr r Munday and yes it sounds like a good life. Answers lead to more questi ons, so what was your biz in Korea? Financial services? Capital Markets?

[Maggie]

good guess.....i spent most of my career in the financial industry in general, mostly non-conventional merchant banking and real estate development........somewhere along the way we developed a niche market for moving large private pools of capital from anywhere in the world into protected locations......as well we provided real estate projects for some of this capital to find a home.....we only dealt with very very large pools and projects,,,,we also provided the opportunity and protocol  to exchange large amounts of (cash and bank instruments) from usd to euros or yen or pounds and back etc etc........all private money.

lots more but that is generally an overview......my consulting revolves around providing project financing for certain clients.....not much work required and usually just need to do one project a year...thats all i want anyway
