Re:Laid off today 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
Been there done that more times than I like to admit. I have changed careers 5 time in my life. I went from $42k a year at Frito Lay to $9 an hour when I got into computers. Now I am retired on SS and on poor street. Jobs are really hard to find and if your old like me even harder. Good luck to you guys.

Re:Laid off today 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
Thanks, guys. I did oen a beer (or 6) last night and celebrated(?).

Curt, I know where you're coming from with all the life careers....I've had 5 different careers so far, but I'm only 59 so there could be another one or possibly two before I retire.

I just wish this stinking weather would get nicer......very chilly and rain, but we need the rain to wash the sand off the road. I usually don't even get Yolanda out till after the first big rain.

Sorry to anybody that gets laid off, it Sucks, I got laid off from Caterpillar 2 years ago and thought it was the end of the road because I was making good money, but I found another job at a plant right next door to Caterpillar and it is the best job I've ever had and the most pay, I got lucky and very thankful, sometimes things seem worse than they really are, in my case it all worked out great, HOPE IT DOES FOR EVERYBODY ELSE TO,

Sorry to hear it. I know how it is,in January I lost my job of 13 years due to the fact the plant I worked at is shutting down and moving to Mexico. The good news is because I lost my job to foreign competition the company I worked for has to pay for retraining.
