Members veil Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'm literally counting the days. My company has put a freeze on their spending; they went over-budget months ago. Luckily, I {censored}ing despise my job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members goodhonk Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 It really shouldn't, I've been networking like crazy lately and I'm an engineer, they tend to stay in demand. Dude, time to start a band? Appreciate the comments people!! i'm a land surveyor, we've cut all of our engineers and drafters to part time, and split our two man field crews into one man crews. it's getting grim. if you're a train engineer ignore what i said. yes, let's start a band.

Mechanical engineer... who coincidentally designed parts for trains (and other things).Weird enough, I could definitely get a job in Tucson, band could happen?

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 I work for a school district whose budget is expected to be cut by about 170 million this coming year I have tenure, but it's hard to say where the district would post me if my current position is cut. I'd be sweating even harder if I were in the private sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members punkicidal Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 I lost my job back in the end of August.. {censored}ing OnStar... Anyways.. I think the unemployment office needs to give me money until I do get a new job. In the past 2 weeks, I've handed out over a dozen copies of my resume. I've never used unemployment before, so I think I'll have no problems. I just hate not working.. I'm getting {censored}ing cabin fever trying to get a new job.

Members The Great Waldo Pepper Posted November 11, 2008 Members Share Posted November 11, 2008 mojos. It is tough all around. And things will be changing in ways we can't yet imagine. I suspect inspite of being different from what we are used to they will be better than we've ever known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
