What kind of work do you do? Not all industries are down right now. Don't worry, things will get better for you.
Hey! Don't make fun of the president. He has so many programs in place that only a fool would work in these times. In fact, I was unemployed for a few days earlier this year and found so many things that are cheap or free because he is in office. A normal family membership to the ymca is $98 a month. We picked ours up for $18 a month because of some new program for people who are out of work right now. I am still waiting to hear of free internet and cable for those who don't have jobs. Crap, they give away child care and houses...why go to work.

Sorry to hear that man. Keep your head up and in the right place and you'll make it through.
Our problem where I work is not that we need work but that we need help. Heck we are 40+ people short for the facility but due to "budget" problems they have a hiring freeze on and won't hire anyone.

I'm an ASE Master tech. People just don't want to get their cars fixed right now. If this keeps up the shop will be closed at the end of the year and it's been here for almost 20 years.
I'm sure of it. I've been waiting for this to happen for a while, My old boss is just spending money right and left and it's just hitting him what he's done. I think he wants to get out of the business now though.
Sad to hear man. You seem the sort who'll find yer way tho!
And you aren't alone, we laid off another 200 this week too.
WOW! 200 more jobs lost? This is getting worse not better as we were promised. It has to turn around soon or there will be shanty towns in Washington soon for sure.
There have been several days that I just wanted to hit my boss over the head and scream at him, believe me. I think I'm gonna get REAL drunk tonight just for the hell of it.
Man I feel for you. Since the internet started I know papers have been on the short end. Kinda sad people don't want to read anymore. Just click on the link and go from there.
The funny part about this is after all the cooking on the 4th, I gave 1 of the other guys a gallon bag of food to help him out. He makes much less than I do so I thought I'd help him out, and now look what happened. Ironic,yes?

Very sorry to hear.....
We do not always understand why some doors close but it is an opportunity to open new ones. People up here are looking for good techs... wanna move?

Good luck with finding a new job. Get a job at a independant shop.

I'll drink a glass just for you just please don't get to drunk and do something dumb take care.
You just want me up there so I can cook when you have a party, don't you Ty.:tongue: Where you are it gets WAY too cold for me and I HATE being cold.
This was an independant shop. That's the sad part of it. The dealers here are even having problems getting work.
The worst thing I'd do is go visit my neighbor and make him late for work tomorow.:biggrin: Show up with a bottle of whiskey and some coke, play some pool and fall down on the way home. LOL:biggrin:
Thanks for the good vibes guys. So far I'm about 1/3 through a small bottle of whiskey and I know I'll have a hangover in the morning but once in a while you gotta do it. Blowing off steam tonight for sure. I've never used unemployment before and don't intend to do it now if I CAN AVOID IT, but you never know, right?
