Re: I'm laid off again!
Seems to be a lot of that going around. Company did me dirty in April when I was discharged by the doctors
to go back to work. Said I quit in December while still under medical leave? (makes lots of sense huh??)
Stepson was just let go last week from the trucking company he was with along with about a half dozen others
for lack of work.
Good thing that His insurance through the company just paid for his Wife's Gastric bypass surgery. If they had waited a
little longer they wouldn't have been able to have it done.
Stepdaughters apartment was broken into Halloween night around 1:30am while she was at a friends.
Took her food, TV, DVD's CD's. left the lights on, blood all over the place. Two side windows busted out and boarded over.
She Couldn't stay there that night since it was a crime scene.
AND ITS ONLY GONNA GET WORSE.
Time to stock on "protection" before that's all taken away from us.

Re: I'm laid off again!
Gotta love schmucks who take what you worked so hard for. I had a junkie break into my apartment 3x! He got my TV, VCR, CDs, Video Tapes, 1 bed sheet, 1/2 my food and an $80 dictionary. I recovered the TV, but it cost me a green fracture of the right tib.

Re: I'm laid off again!
Don't tell anybody, but i might have gotten lucky! Contract Co. called this morning to let me know about a Quality Engineer position in a MEDICAL DEVICE company. I am so over the automotive industry right now! This might be a good deal... Put in a word to the Big Guy for me, will ya?
I had a cataract removed last week under insurance, how cool is that? Keep me in your prayers, and I'll do the same here...
