Just got the word last night that I didn't make the cut and got laid off. Good news is that there's a job that pays about the same, better working conditions(no frozen chicken coming after me) and a few miles closer to home. Bad news is that they're not hiring till the first of the year. I can get unemployment, but that doesn't pay much but it's better than nothin right now. But over the last few month's I've gotten a good deal on a few great knives. I'm happy with what I've got. But now it's time to get looking for something to cover me till the first of the year.
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Getting laid off around the holidays sucks. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear about that, I heard about a company here going to do a bunch of layoffs before the 24th. That must be really hard, especially around the holidays.

You will be in my prayers, say one for me too, I have a deal on the edge and it really needs to go through.

keep your spirits up!

check out craigslist for odd jobs, there is a ton of 1/2 day and sometimes full day jobs and they pay cash. It sustained me for almost 9 months, as i am blacklisted from getting Unemployment benifits

Direwolf, I can sympathize with you.
I'm unemployed as well. Been that way since October.

Not a cheery time for anyone.

Hang in there

I just interviewed today for a part-time job with a govt. contractor. They're hiring 40 people so I should make the 'cut.'

Good luck direwolf.

Good luck, direwolf. Times are definitely a bit hard. I'm glad you have something else lined up for January. I have had no luck at all even finding part time work this year.
