I'm going back to work
Well I was thinking I might have to sell the vette becasue I lost my job in January. It has been a long 9 months looking on the internet and networking with nothing happening in the job market. I knew if I didn't find something soon it wouldn't look good until February with the holidays starting. I am very grateful for finding this position.
I do feel for otheres still looking, it is tuff, but as hard as it is, you have to keep swinging. You will get a hit, it may not be a home run, but a hit is better than a strike out. The only other advice, is to get yourself as lean as possible. I sold my daily driver and I started using the kids car and eliminated many bills.
Good luck to all and keep the faith

Great news for you and your family. The economy seems to be improving a bit. Let's hope it continues and good luck in your new position. Were you able to stay in your field, or have to do something different.

I lost my job Feb. 13th this year... and yes thats friday the 13th day before Valentines day, that was a great day to tell the woman.
Thankfully I got unemployment and have been getting by; everyday check for jobs, make calls, and even had a few interviews but no bites yet. However, Nov. 24th I find out if I'll be getting my job back...i'm definetly keeping the faith!!

I'm happy for you, spedaleden. Congrats on getting back in the game; sorry it has to be at the bottom but at least you can restart without losing too much more.
Good luck to you and here's hoping for a better tomorrow, for each of us.

Hi S,
I'm glad you found work!!
I'll bet you're sleeping better.
I have a very small architectural practice. For a year I was paying myself 1/2 salary. Now I'm paying myself every other week. I'm glad to have even a little work. I'm hoping things will improve in the spring.
Good Luck!!!!
Regards,
Alan
